About Sacred Steel On
Product description Sacred Steel on Tour [Audio CD] CAMPBELL BROTHERS Amazon.com The keening wail of the pedal steel guitar is such a fundamental part of country music that it's difficult to imagine its being played in any other genre. But Chuck Campbell not only uses it to play a soaring version of African American gospel music, he does it with a virtuosic authority that will redefine the way people think about the instrument. Sacred Steel on Tour collects a dozen live tracks recorded in theaters, clubs, and churches featuring Campbell and his brothers: Phillip, a talented guitarist, and Darick, who plays lap steel. All the performances here are revelatory, but the tracks recorded in churches, where Campbell's playing forms a vital part of a service, are particularly illuminating. On "Scott's Testimony," for example, Campbell offers a wordless but strangely vocal commentary on the sermon. He makes his pedal steel moan, cry, whoop, and holler with an almost human voice. Chuck Campbell is a musician of formidable talent under the best of circumstances, but when the spirit moves him, he enters a rarefied musical realm, where his playing is the guitar equivalent of speaking in tongues. --Michael Simmons
