PETER CAMPBELL Of Time & It's Distance (Trinity) Australia 1975.
Here's a rare original Australian LP by Peter Campbell.
Those who connect with the artful folk style of artists like Tim Buckley, Bruce Cockburn, Jeff Johnson and Robin Runge/Crow will definitely want to tune in to the music of Australian Peter Campbell. Of Time And Its Distance gives lots of variety for the listener, with Campbell’s 12-string guitar typically being the central theme. ‘Let Me Ride’ opens the album on a strong progressive note, intelligent lyrics backed by a rich canopy of 12-string, electric guitar, synthesizer and organ. Good plugged-in riffs can be found on the appropriately named ‘Sweet Rock N Roll’. Many of the songs, however, are quiet-natured: ‘The Light Stays On’ with its dreamy mood; the tin whistle-backed ‘Only The Traces’; a moving piano ballad ‘Still The Same’. ‘Song For Leigh’ is a beautiful fragile acoustic song, lovingly accompanied by cello. ‘Sweden’ begins softly, building up to a dynamic climax of electric guitar. Gets into bluegrassy banjo mode for ‘On The Run’ (“it’s living as I need it for the deed that Jesus done, ooh we got tomorrow on the run”). A touch of George Harrison-styled guitar on ‘Love Comes Through’. Foldout cover with lyrics. Among the best Australia has to offer. (Ken Scott - Archivist)
