731. Steve Camp

[@kurtkensson2059]

It's the music industry's good fortune that Lee is still active.

[@garyhamby4569]

Such a great post on your work with Steve, Lee! I got to know Steve fairly well in the late 80's... co-promoted Hearts on Fire '87, festival in Knoxville where Steve headlined. Vision, the CCM band that included Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, and Dale Krantz (Gary's wife)... right before the Skynyrd reunion tour, played as well. Amazing work, Lee. Thank you so very much for highlighting this seminal CCM album from Steve. It changed my life.

[@davidgena2667]

I was shocked to see Steve Camp’s name on here. He was a favorite contemporary Christian music artist of mine back in the 80’s. Good stuff, Leland. Many thanks for this one.

[@chriswoychik2418]

Your playing on his recording shaped how I’ve played bass for the last 30 years. Thank you!

[@briansrandomthoughts4u]

Ditto! I was just about to say the same thing!

[@ronniecraft3895]

love Steve Camp , and Dan huff , and Bill C , what a line up !!!!!

[@rickbelow]

I was in US Air Force in Germany 83-89 saw Steve Camp in concert. His music stirred my young hurting soul from my rough childhood upbringing. God bless

[@wisebear2919]

Thanks Leland, Steve Camp had a profound positive effect in my Spiritaul life. I got to see him live in the 80's and never knew you worked with Him. How Cool!!

[@extremeedison]

I respect how dedicated you are to playing as much as possible and helping others with their musical projects.

[@JegErAlan]

You don’t know how much this brought my weekend to a positive close. I found this video searching for “He’s All You Need” (as part of prep’ing for a “10 Albums I Wouldn’t Want to Live Without” video I am going to put together). THANK YOU Leland for this video and for the work you did on my all-time favorite Christian album.

[@FreedomRock44]

Thanks for Steve!!!!! brings me back to the 80's... early 90's in feel!!!!!!!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Aww just watched a video of your hot rod going away. At least now you dont have to worry about it sitting in the garage accumulating more issues. Sounds like it has another good home

[@kimhebert9905]

Great Story to end your ownership of the hot rod….Enjoyed these recordings today…..Thx!

[@glennbelfiore5776]

BLOWN T-bucket!! OMGosh! Nitrous... holey smokes better have wheelie bars. That's a handful.

[@buzzsmith8146]

Pretty sure I'm hearing that music era (' 80s) defining sound of the Yamaha DX-7! "On the other Side". 😊🎶

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Ever since you showed us the T bucket I've been fascinated by it. Thanks for the run through. Sad to see it go.

[@videosyncrisy]

Loved Steve Camp. Classic Jeff… Dan huff…Landau…what more could you want. 🥰

[@JoshuaKMurphy.]

Love Steve Camps many albums over the years but I didn’t know you played bass and Jeff played drums wow.

[@patgallo2752]

More great music!! Thank you. So many unique artists - like snowflakes!

[@chrisjelen9625]

Jeff is so strong on these. The backbeat shines through.

[@barryhetherington9816]

My favorite song on this Steve Camp album is called HE COVERS ME. It was one of the singles on the radio. I could listen to the intro on a loop for hours. Leland and Jeff Porcaro are playing at an anointed level of musicianship!! The bass playing and drumming throughout the song is in the category of beautiful! Leland’s bass tone and his choice of bass arrangement are just awesome! Jeff Porcaro’s tom work and his cymbal pushes are mind blowing! Bill Schnee’s mix of this entire album is beyond amazing!

[@personalwatching9312]

Hey mate. I loved Steve camps music back in the day.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Those 80s snare drums were not shy...love that era! Anything w Jeff is a blessing to hear. Great work Lee...can't imagine what it is like to play on millions and millions of records played all over the planet Earth.

[@hans-christiantraute1914]

„love that era“ the same here.. it’s this special sound of that time I love so much. And I guess it stands for a reason why they still play so many 80ies songs on the radio.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

@@hans-christiantraute1914 --agree 100%!!! Check out Jeff on Sandi Patti's Another Time Another Place...he is using the snare he did on TOTOs Kingdom of Desire...a Brady I think...it kills

Leland,. Thank you for "T-Bucket Lore"❣️ Love today's selection. Not too much better than that is right on. Love this Christian rock. Beautiful day here in Rimrock, AZ as well, all windows open!!!! I've said it before....YOU are just an Energizer bunny!! Always busy, keeps you goin'. Please stay safe everyone 🤗 and have a great rest of your Sunday😉👍

[@anncaswell8569]

Evening Leland and everybody. Been a fine day here too

[@dmlevitt]

haven't listened to much contemporary christian music. interesting. glad you got your hot rod to a worthy person. it is time to get rid of things--the time of accumulation is over. you have inspired me to. sell my 1972 Ford F100 2 tone truck. love and respect Leland!!

[@rikconverse8726]

Dann Huff is the lead over Michael Landau?! Those were some tasty licks! I saw the Sons of Champlin at the Golden Bear back in 1975 - Split Enz were their opening act on their first US tour! I didn't see Bill again until 2018 at The Rose with California Transit Authority (Jason Scheff & Robby Krieger made surprise appearances) and then early in 2019 with his group Wunderground at The Belly Up! I was sad to see that Jon Clarke had passed from Kidney cancer back in 2005. He had such a great career, from Loggins & Messina to the Kenny Loggins Band for that core groups first five or so albums; then on to session and film work! Lucky to have seen him playing live!

[@scottschramm7910]

Thanks for the Steve Camp. What a surprise! Your right about the pop music parallel. Sad to see the “T” go but you’re correct in letting those things go. I can relate. Peace! Say “Hi” to the boys…

[@glennbelfiore5776]

Really Great to hear all the musicians on the Steve Camp One on one!

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

😄😄 What a great car story! My Dad was a professional mechanic with some good anecdotes about what went through the shop (big rigs) but nothing like that! He passed with all of his stuff in place and I'm proud that he didn't have to worry about that. If it pleases you to streamline and organize (these videos themselves are a huge legacy that some institution or writer(s) will no doubt work with), that's great. But you shouldn't have to sweat it if you don't feel like it. One thing's for sure, I imagine there might be other hot rod experts out there, but you're on the top shelf re: people wanted for bass and pop music history events....

[@erickorte7856]

I was gonna ask for a little overview of the Hot Rod's history and you beat me to it!

[@stevelinscome728]

Thank you Leland! I've been a listener and love "Christian" music since mid-70's( and of course, the "secular" 'rock n roll' era). So many changes, few bad but mostly good. Sorry I hadn't heard about you till recently. I'm enjoying your broadcasts and the backgrounds of my favorite music artists.

[@realsnypes]

Steve is doing really well. He is the lead Pastor at Cross Church down in Palm City, FL.

[@RU-HDD-4-HVN]

You've been a part of a whole lot of classic songs there Lee. Thank God.

[@timprismusic376]

Every note on this CD is perfect. One on one remains my favorite Steve Camp recording. His lyrics have shaped my Christian worldview. Less about obtaining stuff and more about reaching the lost. Thank you so much for sharing ♥️

[@Payne2view]

Some classic 1986 guitar sounds. My dad had a Steve Camp LP from a few years before that. He's a pastor somewhere now and yes, the last time I heard about him he was arguing a point of theology with someone via social media/podcast. He was very big in CCM in the 80s. He co-wrote the CCM equivalent of Live Aid's record, "Do something now".

[@Joesfosterdogs]

I can remember this era well...Amy Grant SOLD OUT playing with session players...same w Steve Camp...big time arguing...today I would imagine nobody cares like your dad digging a Cadillac commercial w Led Zeppelin music and he doesnt even know it, but back in the day...lol

[@844jimthompson]

Whoa..Not ready for pasture yet..You are still popular and in demand..Many many years left..

[@briantap2068]

Had this album, Dan Huff was a legend, did not know about Leland until he played with Steven Curtis Chapman…

[@vewilli]

Yes, Bill Champlin, Jason Scheff, … I love(d) Chicago and have many CDs and also some LPs. My favourite song being „Niagara Falls“, but of course many others too. Bill and his wife are also making great music witj Joseph Williams (current Toto-singer).

[@stevehesselman]

Nice to hear you talk about this, and nice to see you on here chatting about all kinds of music! I'm a Steve Camp fan since way back in the late 80's, and always read the credits - definitely remember seeing your name pop up on various albums by different artists. I have One on One on cassette (never managed to upgrade to CD on that one). Justice from 1988 is I think my fav by Steve - and I remember seeing you play on that one too if memory serves. I always wondered about the people behind the names... a pleasure to find you here. All the best - Stephen

[@whodder06]

All I can say is....Love you Man! You are the most genuine, realistic, no bullshit and down to earth guy who's channel I have had the pleasure to subscribed to.

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

This was an awesome post, Lee. Thank you. I agree that Steve's voice and vibe is very similar to Richard Marx - excellent. I am glad the weather is treating you right! (Thank you too for the hot rod back-story. Excellent!). And, without a doubt, you'll be busy in the music scene forever! Many more memories to make with those basses!

Haiku for Lee A warm daily note from a true, musical heart makes me smile then sing.

[@tonedeafcat]

Lee, I have enjoyed every video I have watched with your take on the music and the industry. The thing I love the most is how you truly, honestly and humbly honor the musicians you have worked with, and the artists with whom you have performed. I knew you were a phenomenal player years ago, but I kinda think it is the talent plus the attitude that makes a way for people. Everyone who has had you along on projects or live has been tremendously blessed. Thank you for these videos. They are an inspiration for many, as well as a living history of modern music.

Lee, You play on so many of the CCM albums from my era that I've always assumed you also have spiritual sympathies that line up there as well. I wish you would speak to that. Love you and your work.

I’m a bass player too. Just recently I got a Corvette and love it. You may want to look into one of those. If you get the correct one your looking at a possible 770 BHP car. They also have a great community of Corvette clubs. I also worked in the Christian music industry for about 20 years with Sparrow, Light records and many more labels. I saw your name on a majority of the product I was pushing.

[@dennismccunney4462]

Queue a spin of the Who's seldom heard "Bucket T" from their early days? :-) (It's up on KZbin.) I was a hot rod fan back in the day, read things like Hot Rod magazine, and was a fan of NHRA Top Fuel drag racing. (I note to my delight that former Top Fuel champ "Big Daddy" Don Garlits is still involved. He has a garage in FL, and is trying to set the world speed record for an _electric _dragster.) Agreed, though, you haven't time to properly deal with it, so find a home for it with someone who can give it the attention it deserves.

I loved the bass work you did with Steve Camp back in the day. When you listen back now, what do you think of the runs you played? I especially loved them in Steve's albums. It was like you were given more freedom to let loose. Do you tend to just improvise them when recording session work?
