A workingman's musician with a thorough grasp of his craft, Ted Russell Kamp, longtime bassist for Shooter Jennings, has come into his own as a solo artist and songwriter of note with his past CDs. Divisadero (2007) was named one of the Top 40 Americana CDs of 2007 and which No Depression called "terrific." Poor Man's Paradise (2008) was called a juicy gumbo of country, Southern-fried rock and soul in the style of Kamp's lifelong inspirations J.J. Cale, The Band, and Kris Kristofferson. Kamp wrote or co-wrote all 11 songs, with a storyteller's flair for offbeat characters, interesting turns of phrase and a sense of realism that sometimes belies an uncommon circumstance. Some of the top names in alt-country have dropped in to record basic tracks with Ted in Los Angeles including guitarists Tony Gilkyson and Kenny Vaughan, drummers Daniel Glass and Don Heffington, Marvin Etzioni on mandolin, Waylon Jennings/Highwaymen pedal steel player Robbie Turner, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash front-man Mark Stuart and the one and only Ted Wulfers. Kamp's own instrumental prowess is heard on guitar, mandolin, bass, keyboards, lap steel, accordion, trombone and trumpet. The press has said about Ted's music: "terrific" ... [an] impressive record" ­ No Depression, USA "a striking singer/songwriter ... absolutely hypnotizing." Music Row, USA "country-infused rock, hints of The Eagles intertwine with tunes bearing Gram Parsons-esque melodies...on this fine disc ..." Miles of Music, USA He pays respectful and sensitive homage to classic country sounds of the past. Kamp has absorbed country traditions as something of an outsider, but his deft handling of outlaw narratives, lonesome balladry and brassy soul reveals how completely the south has worked its way under his skin." ­ Maverick, UK "A fine songwriter ... sounds like the missing son of Tom Russell and Steve Earle." ­ Le Cri du Coyote, FRANCE "The ghost of Waylon Jennings is surely smiling down on Kamp - and after one listen, you'll be smiling too." Performing Songwriter, USA "Kamp is a talented multi-instrumentalist. His singing and impressive musicianship connects with great compositions, and excellent singing - perfect in it's simplicity." ­ folkworld.eu, GERMANY His music has been featured on these European radio outlets: DutchRootsRadio.com, RootsHighway.it, RootsTime.be, CtrlAtlCountry.be Gouwestad.nl, Nashville.fm, Hanx.net, BBC (UK), MillerTellsHerTale.co.uk, mcwc-radio.com, Radio 4/Spain, Radio Suomi (National Finnish Radio), Radio Helsinki, Country Music 24 (Germany), Swedish National Radio, Big Cactus Country (France) This is a compilation of all that, including 5 new tracks, some of which will be on the forthcoming record 'Get Back To The Land' which is slated to come out in 2011.
