THE CAMPBELL BROTHERS:
African-American gospel music with electric steel guitar and vocal. As the music moves from sanctuary to concert hall -- including the Hollywood Bowl, the Kennedy Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music and Symphony Space -- secular audiences are now able to appreciate a performance both devoted and rocking.

"4th Annual Real Blues Awards: Best U.S. Gospel Instrumentalist of the Year"
-Real Blues Magazine
"This CD stands as the best of Arhoolie's latest series of sacred steel guitar sessions."
-Dan Ouellette, Downbeat, May 1998
"Truly magnificent and moving. This disc is the most dynamic and talent- laden of all of the sacred steel discs so far on Arhoolie..."
-Andy Grigg, Real Blues
"...different from anything you've ever heard... essential listening for anyone interested in blues guitar."
-Jim DeKoster, Living Blues
"The Campbells create a unique, steel-guitar-driven gospel music called "sacred steel" that's every bit as earth-shattering as Johnson's music was in the '30s. It's a soul-stirring blend of gospel and the power and volume of electric blues and rock, a sound as hot as brimstone that kicks holy butt. It's also shredding perceptions of country's signature instrument and the limitations of church music."
-National Public Radio
"Our mission is share our tradition of music and praise and to realize the versatility and expressive potential of the steel guitar."
