Beyond Below (2007)
‘His voice remains as distinctive and evocative as ever, notably on the unusually upbeat Red River, the unexpectedly pretty Careless Words (which recalls the gentle country-rock of Mike Nesmith’s First National Band) and the title track, with its Dylanishly simple harmonica solo’ - The Sunday Times ****
‘14 songs each possessing the power to halt any listener unwittingly in their tracks and leave them staring pensively into the middle distance’ - The List 4/5
‘On his second release, Campbell has hit something of a modern benchmark that many singer-songwriters can only aspire to’ - The Skinny 4/5
‘Both understated and atmospheric, Beyond Below gives a respectful nod to Bruce Springsteen at his most vulnerable’ - The Scotsman
‘Campbell’s music displays the richness of theme and conviction of early Springsteen met with the lilting laid-back manner of later Bob Dylan, it’s a glorious concoction of truthful soulful melancholy that’s as uplifting and relaxing as Drake, Cohen and Jeff Buckley’ - Room Thirteen 11/13
Postcards from Nowhere (2005)
‘Slow, simple, unadorned and powerful’ - Sunday Times - Album of the Week ****
Evoking Micah P Hinson and Bruce Springsteen, gravelly Glasgow troubadour Grant Campbell is an inner-city cowboy, a brambly folk Romeo: a quiet delight to behold. His enchanting 2005 debut album, Postcards from Nowhere, was recorded at home in Glasgow. Its a gentle, exquisite exposition of amber ranch canticles and scorched alt-folk lullabies: it is unadorned, potent, gruff and wonderful. - Triptych
‘13/13…this is one of the best debuts of years passed, a real hidden treasure that must be found by all’ - Room Thirteen
‘A voice and writer to watch’ - Net Rhythms
‘He may be a little country, a little bit rock’n'roll, but all of his songs have an emotional honesty that cuts straight to the heart’ - Sunday Herald
Thanks for the add, Grant. Beautiful songs and I love your voice. I've already ordered your CD's Beyond Below & Expecting Great Things. Can't wait to hear them. Peace, Rog
Hi everybody, just here to say our new RORY GALLAGHER HAWK BOOSTER is ready for shipping. Have a listen if you get a chance, All the best, Stevie Flynn.
hmm I love your music, but every where I go I can not seem to find a copy of your music. Agreed I was drawn to your music from The Burrowers, but really I do enjoy the rest of your music. It reminds me of early 70's Tom Waits, but set to a more bluesy feel. You know, before that man fell off hes rocker in the post island days 'beautiful melodies'.
Your music is wonderful, and I believe I will be a fan of yours for some time to come.
Now if I could just find your music here in the states...
Hey, welcome to my group of friends! I really like your music! It's just fantastic! I took notice of your music by watching the movie The Burrowers! CARRY ON!!! Greetings from Germany *b*
