Subject: something about Larry Campbell....

I (asked) someone in the know and got this on Larry Campbell...


>Sadie,

>This is too much!!!  If it IS Larry Campbell, then I know him well.  He

>Garnier and I'm sure that's how he ended up with the gig.

Well - I for one am very eager to see the new sideman!!!!  I wonder if
he'll be playin' his bazouki during the acoustic set...maybe during masters
of war?

     With the recent entrance of Bob's new guitarist,
     thought I'd try to shed some light on the subject.
     An incomplete search of the net yielded the following
     results (no particular order):

     - Played w/KD Lang @ the Edmonton Folk Festival
       in 96

     - Toured as part of Cyndi Lauper's band in 96
       (mandolin,guitar,violin) and appeared on the "Twelve
       Deadly Cyns" and "Sisters Of Avalon" releases.

     - Played fiddle on Joan Osborne's "relish"(95)

     - Played on Sean Colvin's "Fat City" (93)

     - Has worked w/Kinky Friedman on Live From Lone
       Star Cafe as well as other releases.
       Played Pedal steel guitar, and violin.

     If this is all the same person, it makes me wonder:
     Is Bucky's job in danger? Hope not.

     Fred

One and the same.



Helge Ottesen (anneko@online.no):

Larry Campbell visited Norway with the Greg Trooper Band in 1986.
They made a CD called: "We Won't Dance".

Also wrote for and produced Stephen Ackles' albums "Let's Keep The Night" 
(1993)  and "One For The Moon" (1995).

Subject: Larry Cambell

Just a few more facts for you about Larry.  I have known him for many years. 
A wonderful player, a really nice guy.  We played on the New York country music
circuit in the 1980s.  Tommy played primarily with a wonderful singer named
Tommy Joe White.  He eventually moved on to the Greg Trooper Band, etc.  He is
the most dedicated musician I have ever known, constantly practicing, even 
when he was already better at everyone else's instruments than they were.  He 
lives in Manhattan with his wife, Theresa (beautiful, talented and super nice).
Tony Garnier used to be among the musicians who played the old Lone Star
Cafe, in Greenwich Village.  That IS how Larry got the job.  When Dylan
 needed a guitarist, Tony insisted that he hear Larry. Larry used to say (as I
did) that he wasn't interested in a road gig, unless the Beatles or Dylan
called. Are you listening Sir Paul? Kenny Davis - FL (formerly NY)

Well, it turns out a New York musician friend of mine has some news on Campbell.

He's a New York based studio musician, much in the same vein as Garnier and well,
G.E. Smith.

He is in his 40s, plays rock and rock and western swing. Played in a band called
the Dixie Dough boys. He also was in the ochestra pit for Big River, a Broadway
play based on Mark Twain's novels. He also played with David johansen when he did
a long gig at the Bottom Line, mixing his rock and roll stuff with his other
crap, buster poindexter. He's been part of the new york scene for years and
years.

Well, that's what I know so far. Sorry it's sketchy, but so is all the info on
this guy anyway.

...
A couple of additions:

Red Grammer's Favorite Singalong Songs, 1993
Songs In Bengali, Gautam Dasgupta, 1993 (Larry's wife Teresa Williams
sings backup)
Reunion Hill, Richrad Shindell, 1997

I believe the "Nuttin Nyce" EP listed is produced by a different Larry
Campbell.

Then there's the Campbell filmography. He appeared in the Peter
Bogdanovich flick "They All Laughed" as part of Colleen Camp's band in
the City Limits and Green St. scenes along with Jo-Ell Sonnier.

..
Whoops. Almost forgot the killer "Hillbilly Voodoo" by Barrence
Whitfield and Tom Russell.

Recently Willie Nile's name came up in the "wannabe" stakes, and
someone noted that Dylan's current axe-wielder Larry Campbell played
on Nile's 91 album.  What may not have been mentioned though is that
Campbell played "fiddle" on the album, not guitar at all.  Thought
that was neat.
