Another insightful podcast, and as a fellow Glaswegian it’s great to hear his story. I often wondered what happened to JC after Hallelujah Freedom. And now I know!
Another great podcast. I never realised the full extent of Junior Campbell’s career after Marmalade. Just great.
Brilliant! Junior Campbell’s talents have put him in rarefied air. He is one of those select persons who lift the persons, the room, his country, his art and even Life with his work. (Probably even plants! ?) His melodies and harmonies stand among the best for a range of audiences. And of course his training, experience and musicianship are top shelf.
Adding the enviable and unparalleled voice of Dean Ford gave full expression to the band’s combined talents. He could sing lead and backup with nary a discernible breath. His range and lungs of steel gave power or solace, depending on the song.
Add three first rate musicians with lovely voices and perfect harmonies and Marmalade was worthy of the World’s appreciation. Their story is relatable to many and informative to others. Their homes and countries should claim them as passionately as possible.
I’d watch that biopic.
The Very Best of Junior Campbell…Back Then…
