Soulshaker: News / Aktuelles

The new song that we just did is so good that it's rediculous . The Guitar of Humble Pie , Lead Guitar of Mountain , Vocals of Deep Purple , Bass of Mr. Cole , and Drums of Mr. Hale ! That's three from this lineup . David Dickenson recorded us at top industry Boilerroom Studios in Austin , Texas .

December 15th , if it's done right ! Eleven songs that have survived my scrutiny , and it's a solid one ! make it twelve !

*Probably going to hold off on it's release until after the Soulshaker CD is launched .* ( January 26th)

Mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terranova in Austin . Musicians featured : Ginger Doss ,Tabber Millard , Mike Rieman , Coy Fuller , Mark Salmon . More info soon .

The song 'Keridwena' tells of the history of Merlin (Mjrddjn) and the so- called Lady of the Lake . "The lightning weapon that I gave away" refers to the light-beam weapon that became an instrument of might for the war-clan leader , Artus ( Arthur).

This time a country song for a breakout artist . More info later . Selton Cole and Michael Hale have also cut another song with Mark for the same producer .

David Dickinson , engineer , made us feel comortable and relaxed as Michael Hale , Drums and Selton Cole , Bass ,and myself , Mark Campbell laid down tracks for a new song for the new CD , an October 2010 release , and it sounds FAT . Boilerroom is our new studio of preference . David is a real natural in his role as recording engineer . Thanks for making a difference , David.

Welcome to Austin , musicphiles and media types ...... South by Southwest 2010 . See you around town !

Not that it hasn't happened before , but I thought it was worthy to mention that we have entered the designation as collectible , offically . There were two 45's from the 70's , one from the 80's , all short runs , very rare . A happy buyer emailed me to see if he could get another copy , because he had worn it out . He plays it for his friends , and they all are now looking for copies . This is how anthologies are made ; demand creates compilations . The news is good , because there is plenty material for volumes 1 , 2 and 3 , not to mention my solo work . woo hoo .

It couldn't have come at a better time ; we were running out of year , and a new one came to the rescue , just in time .
May the New Year be the best one yet .

2010 , so iconically even ; new millenia , new decade .

Michael Hale plays with so many artists in the Austin area , Afrofreque , Dan Dyer , Bustamovalators , Dirty Worms . He brings great hip-hop stylings to the rythmn section . Billy Young is a seasoned veteran of the music scene and a solo artist/singer of his own .

Both talents lend their skills to the stage and studio of Soulshaker .

Two new songs , Any Fule Kno That by Deep Purple , our version recorded in 1999 , and Living at the end of Time by Atlantis , which we recorded in 1991 . It's a real futuristic DEF CON 4 boogie .

Sadly , drummer Mark Salmon's dog of 15 years passed away yesterday . That was one sweet dog .
Kind condolences to his family .

Selton lost his mother , Marie , right after Christmas . Our hearts go out to his family in their time of sorrow as well .
The same experience for me this year has taught me much . We are both lucky to have been loved like that ; all the way to our maturity . Some aren't so lucky .
Goodnight .

Mariela Cepeda Campbell , my mother , has left us after 15 months of dialysis and other complications . She was such a cheerful person and her presence will always be felt by us . Thanks to our friends for their compassionate kindness . My sorrow is only eclipsed by my great sense of luck that my brother and I were born to her .

Soon after , my father , Hardy also passed . A great man who always thought of everyone else first . His humor and intelligence was recognized by many friends the world over. He spoke spanish with natural ease , a true man of the world .
My Pa .

With Love , Mark Campbell
