Review of Divisidero from Folkworld: - one of the most respected roots music publications in Europe!
Translated from the German. Original here. "The native New Yorker Ted Russell Kamp has today a domicile in Los Angeles, however is almost continuously on the road. Thus his CD was taken up "Divisadero" - some fine work done also on the road, in hotel rooms, in the living room to LA or also in the route bus. Kamp is even a talented multi-instrument musician, beside singing and his main instrument, bass, also plays guitars - inclusive Lap Steel guitar - plays Bouzouki, mandoline, accordion, Wurlitzer, Hammond organ, Perkussion, trumpet and trombone. He worked with different outstanding musicians together and individually, in order to give to the 11 self-compositions the necessary variety. Varied is also the selection of the songs. It gives quiet Country Ballads, which press on the tear gland, over slow bluesey Road Songs up to rockin' Blues pieces, rhythmic Country Songs and jazzey undertone to everything. My favorite is: A bluesy Country Ballad, "Gypsy's Tune", with which beside Kamps winsome singing, particularly stands out with the pedal Steel guitar of Eric Heywood. The funky Blues slash Road Song "Another One Night Stand", which is brilliant with the interaction of Kamp's guitar, piano (Brian Wheelan) and Drums (Mike Sessa) and the great rhythm. Kamp plays with Shooter Jennings in his band the 357's and his friend joins for a song. With the jazzy "Better Before You Were Big time" unite the singing of the two mad musicians with the sound of Michael Webb's Hammond organ and Kamps horn. And with the Road Song "The Road Keeps Getting Longer" produces 357 bandmate Leroy Powell at the Dobro, Kamp at the banjo and Jennings at the Piano a create a melancholy tendency. Ted Russell Kamp becomes of North star Entertainment as the brightest new star of the Americana genre. I think that this praise is quite earned. Solid music history connects itself with mad compositions, excellent singing and simple however perfect arrangements."
