Ted Russell Kamp Shares New album “California Son” out now!
Renowned as the go-to "good-natured bad-ass bassist" in L.A., TED RUSSELL KAMP is set to release his 14th studio album, "CALIFORNIA SON," on March 22, 2024, under KZZ Records. The album reflects Kamp's evolution as an artist and a person during his 24-year residency in the vibrant city of Los Angeles.
"CALIFORNIA SON" is described by Kamp as his most personal work to date, blending rock, folk, and country influences to create a rich and diverse musical experience. The album, featuring 12 tracks, showcases Kamp's versatility as a songwriter, indie artist, and producer, exploring upbeat rhythms and poetic ballads.
Kamp, originally a jazz-schooled New Yorker, emphasizes the transformative impact of California on his artistic expression. He shares, "Being in California has changed me, and I've grown. 'California Son' is a mission statement that helps glue all the other songs together. It's also one of the most autobiographical things I've written."
The album presents a more upbeat tone compared to Kamp's previous releases, with tracks like "Firelight" and "Ballad of the Troubadour" providing poetic ballads, while Tom Petty-esque rockers such as "Hard to Hold" and the hopeful closer "Every Little Thing" add a dynamic energy.
Collaborating with a trusted crew of fellow musicians, Kamp incorporates classic California country influences, drawing inspiration from the likes of Jackson Browne and the harmonies of the Beach Boys, the Byrds, and the Eagles.
Kamp expresses gratitude for his musical journey and looks forward to sharing the optimism and spark embedded in "CALIFORNIA SON" with audiences worldwide. As he navigates his career and continues to collaborate with artists like Shooter Jennings, Kamp remains dedicated to creating music that resonates with listeners and uplifts spirits.
