Some careers can be described with a couple of words, but Shawn Camp’s isn’t one of them. A bold and distinctive singer, a songwriter who’s provided material for a multitude of singers, and a multi-instrumentalist who’s played with everyone from Alan Jackson to the Osborne Brothers, Camp’s music sprawls across the lines that divide mainstream country, Americana and bluegrass—and if his songs have been recorded by more popular artists, his own CDs make the compelling case that no one can do them better.
Sixteen years ago, the revered songwriter delivered an early masterwork. The Arkansas native had fortified his second Reprise album with wit (“Near Mrs.”) and wisdom (“The Grandpa That I Know”) far beyond his 28 years. Camp had some early success with his debut self-titled album the year before, which garnered attention with singles “Fallin’ Never Felt So Good,” and “Confessin’ My Love,” so it was expected that the second album might be the breakthrough.
