Finally, Campbell, Williams make debut
After decades of marriage and seven years working closely with Helm - Campbell as bandleader and producer (winning three Grammys for his work) and wife Williams as singer - their first album together features eight originals and three covers honed at Helm's legendary Midnight Rambles.
"It was the most pure musical experience I've ever had," Campbell said of their time with Helm. "It gave me the template for how to make music for the rest of my life: no egos, no agenda, no petty stuff. I got inspired to write more songs for Teresa and me to sing."
Campbell and Williams will tour this spring and summer.
