Lord Litter’s second part of the special on Don Campau leads us from the years of punk to the years of, yes what..transition? Our LL has selected songs that point out the skills of Don as a guitar player, but also as a lyricist. Starting in the early 1980s the compositions still follow the different genre’s of that time, but once the cassettes started to fill the postbox, Don Campau gives way to more experiments. I especially like the “complex” compositions that bear traces of the American musical, that, in my humble opinion, give an insight in the still young history of the United States of America, and more specific, the state of California, where Don resides. But most of all it is joy that prevailes, the joy of playing music, the joy of creating such music.
