Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams have announced their new album, Live At Levon’s!, for release on February 3, 2023 via Royal Potato Family. The 12-track collection was recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY on September 20 and 21, 2019 in front of a hometown crowd and features a selection of previously unreleased new songs, old favorites, plus a handful of covers.
The husband and wife duo have also shared the album’s first single “Angel Of Darkness” a song co-written by Campbell and Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen. Live At Levon’s! will be arriving in 180-gram, double-vinyl, CD and digital formats.
In 2019, after a year of touring, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams returned to their adopted hometown in Woodstock, NY to celebrate with a performance at Levon Helm Studios, a historic and dual-purposed recording studio and live music venue founded by the legendary Levon Helm. They had played countless shows there before with the Midnight Ramble Band, an outfit fronted by Helm with whom Campbell served as a bandleader for over a decade.
Joining Campbell and Williams on the live album are some longtime friends: Jesse Murphy on bass, tuba and harmony vocals, Justin Guip on drums, and special guest, Levon Helm alumnus, Brian Mitchell on keyboards, accordion and harmonica.
Campbell comments:
This thing that Teresa and I do, though born on the back porch in Tennessee, was honed for public consumption during the wonderful years we spent making music in Levon’s barn. There’s magic between those wooden walls, a comfortable environment where there’s no distance between performer and audience. Any event in there is a complete communal experience where there’s no hierarchy, no pressure or attempt at inhibition, just a great place to enjoy all the benefits of music making. When the idea came up for us to do a live record there was no question as to what the venue should be.
