David Campbell Saturday Sessions CD

On The Saturday Sessions, Campbell’s, 11th studio album, the focus and atmosphere shifts. A pivot of sorts. Gone is the big band, the brass, the tuxedo and the vintage microphone. Instead, The Saturday Sessions, sees Campbell at his most relaxed and most personal. It’s an album that in many ways presents Campbell as an artist who loves pop, soul and rock as much as he respects crooner standards. And this time around he was determined to deliver an album as a fully-fledged band.

Working with long-time collaborator and musical director Joe Accaria, ‘The Saturday Sessions’ is essentially a David Campbell playlist, featuring his take on songs that have shaped his life and career regardless of genre or era. Who says a Bee Gees song can’t sit next to a Radiohead track? Or the Matt Finish classic ‘Short Note.’ And who says you can’t strip these songs back to their bare bones and re-build them with a intimate band of ultra-talented musicians and likeminded friends? The result is something very authentic and unique.
