Campbell Brothers (Ropeadope)—These folks out of Rochester, New York just blew the rafters off the Narrows Center for the Arts with their combination of gospel and aggressive steel and electric guitars.  While the show last Friday night was almost a religious revival, Can You Feel It? leans more toward the jam band sound.

Sparse, haunting, evocative, sui generis; Sam Baker’s Pretty World is quite possibly the finest collection of music I’ve heard…More...

Campbell Brothers

02.14.2006 -- Review by: Stephen Hug

Not surprising, since it was produced by John Medeski from Medeski, Martin and Wood.  If you’re not familiar with the jam band thing, in essence it involves long and complicated instrumental solos that border on jazz.  No problem for the Campbell Brothers, according to producer Medeski who wrote in the CD notes that they are “some of the most technically advanced players I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with...”  Some jam band stuff becomes almost too technical, but with the Campbell Brothers’ base in gospel, that doesn’t happen much on this CD.  3 ¾ bottle caps out of a possible 4.
