www.myspace.com/shawncamp Some careers can be described with a couple of words, but Shawn Camp's isn't one of them. A bold and distinctive singer, a songwriter who's provided material for artists ranging from Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs to Garth Brooks and Brooks & Dunn, and a multi-instrumentalist who's played with everyone from Yonder Mountain String Band and Alan Jackson to the Osborne Brothers and John Prine. Camp's music sprawls across the lines that divide country, Americana, bluegrass and roots rock. Although his songs have been recorded by more popular artists, Camp's energetic new CD, Fireball, makes a compelling case that no one can do them better. From the hard-charging, country-rockin' energy of the opening title track, which debuted in the hit ABC Comedy "Desperate Housewives," to the cheerfully mordant humor of the closing "Drank," Fireball is a collection that showcases the thoroughly modern yet deeply rooted creations of one of Nashville's most unique talents. The album has been released on Camp's Skeeterbit Records and distributed through Emergent/RED. |
