No Stranger To Heartache .. Junior Campbell & Chip Hawkes as Kentucky Rain

Here's one from the crypt ...
The Everly's pretty much influenced everybody, and way back in the 70's, "me mate "'Arry", Len ( Chip ) Hawkes from the Trems and I wrote and recorded a couple of songs, for fun, under the pseudonym "Kentucky Rain".
I stumbled across some old copies so decided to stick em up.
This is the 1st and really shows their influence and our life long admiration of the Everly's and we also wrote and recorded the additional track "Dream Baby Dream" in similar style, which I'll post another day.
Both were never released - Private Stock run by our old mate and promo man Mike Beaton folded before we got a chance, but 'tell you what, we had such great fun making them.
Chip & I on bass and guitars, Raymie Duffy drums, Martin Jenner pedal steel, and yours truly "Floyd Campbell" on piano.
No good footage available of 'Arry & I together , so some suspect quality I'm afraid.
Don & Phil it ain't -- just "Len & Bill" having a great time
Hope they make you smile.

I know these two songs very well. "The Best..." As if I were in the company of brothers!

Hermosa melodía y mi favorita Reflexiones of My life y un buen recuerdo de aquel gran grupo THE MERMELADE y su cantante DEAN FORD ' R I P '

[@susanblondescout809]

I really liked this one , Dean once told me you could play any style seamlessly . And you always made it look so easy . I agree with that statement

[@CraneProductions27]

That was a great song. I love how calm and relaxing it was :) .

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this!! I adore “Dream Baby Dream”, too! I’m so bummed to read you guys only recorded the two songs! 😩 They’re both great and I’d have that album on repeat, if it existed! Hehe! 🤭 I bought an album online from another Scottish band called Kentucky Rain, “There and Back Again”, released 1985 on Beechwood Records (according to the sleeve), which I couldn’t find a shred of info online about…I had SO hoped that it would arrive and actually be you two! 🤭 Lucky me though… it’s FANTASTIC, anyway! 😍 I listen to it regularly! Thank you for sharing this with us! I love your videos! 🥰♥️✨🌼

Good stuff and nicely done. And I remember being influenced so emotionally by the Everly's "Let it Be Me". Well - in fact, to this day...
