Title: Larry Campbell and Theresa Williams
Review – Long overdue first album from this husband and wife team. Larry was Dylan’s’ longtime guitarist, a very noted session player and the leader of Levon Helm’s band for the past ten years or so. A mainstay along with Theresa of the Midnight Rambles band that Levon had featured at his long time barn concerts. This is a pretty album, but neither of them is a particularly striking lead vocalist, and the songs just don’t really shine. Some great guest appearances including Amy Helm, member of the Levon band and Levon himself on one of his last recordings. And Larry is the king all things stringed. I love these folks live , with Levon, with the Dead, with just about anyone…but this album did not move me unfortunately.
