Junior Campbell - Carolina Days - 1973

A song I wrote and recorded 50 years ago … there seems to be a few of them at the mo' ....… ….
I wrote and recorded this way back in 1973 for my Deram Second Time Around album released 1974 … and in STEREO !!.
My old band pals Jessie Knight and Raymie Duffy on bass and drums/percussion ...
Me on guitar and keyboards, Gordon Huntley (who was in Mathews Southern Comfort with Raymie) on pedal steele. ...
Hughie Nicholson popped into the studio wi Jessie and Pat and both he and Jessie helped out wi the chorus harmonies along with Irene Chanter and Ruby James ... and me ..
So we had a fine mix of Gaylords, Marmadukes 1&2 and Southern Comfort!!
Recorded Decca 2 West Hampstead … engineer "Honest" John Burns ...
Fond memories of this wee song ... Clodagh Rodgers did a fine cover which I think charted in the UK , which, ironically was arranged and produced by my great hero and mentor, the great Keith Mansfield..
Clodagh’s single released April ’73 well in advance of the album release … ‘bit of “family” involved, Frank, label manager at Decca and a great mate and Clodagh’s bro, loved the song, Pat by this time handing the publishing, and Keith … well .. was Keith..
so all in all quite a mix eh... what goes 'round eh?
Currently you can stream this and all of the other solo Deram recordings incl the hits on the Second Time Around (Expanded Version) released by Universal as below

Howdy! Do you think you’ll ever write an autobiography, Jnr? It would be so wonderful to read about your life and diverse career, in your own words. 😍 The stories you post with your videos are so interesting and fun and I’d love to hear more of them! 🥰📚 Thank you! ♥️🌼

Definitely has that seventies sound. I enjoy the perspective on music I grew up with. I hope you're doing well.

Your music always puts a smile on my face.

Jr.. I watched the Marmalade - 1970/07/10 Doing Their Thing - Granada .. and you all did Sweet Judy Blue eyes.. I've know you play the guitar upside down (I know a native Indian that also plays it the same way) But did/do you play in open G. I believe that's how Stills plays.

Great record. In listening to some of the tracks on your channel I notice what a good Bass player Graham is. I was keen to listen when I saw that he was on this and the first bass fill didn't disappoint. He has that gift that Steve Cropper has of putting in a bright fill and then dropping back to support the whole piece. Thanks for posting.

Clodagh Rogers? Let's have a listen....❤️👍
