Vivian Campbell
Two Sides of If

We all ready know Vivian Campbell can play guitar, but can he sing? That's what this member of Def Leppard hopes to prove with his solo debut, Two Sides of If. Hardly what you'd expect from a hard rock musician, this album is infused with the blues.

On this album, Campbell pays homage to early blues-influenced rock music with renditions of Muddy Waters' "I'm Ready," Fleetwood Mac's "Like It This Way," and Eric Clapton's "Reconsider Baby." It is clear that Campbell has learned a great deal from these musicians, and he shows his gratitude with this album.

Two Sides of If is an album that digs up the roots of rock, and replants them for today's generation.
