IMPACTING NOW!

“‘Walkin 'Shoes’ is a rich and articulated album that confirms the skill and genuineness of Ted Russell Kamp.” — Lonestar Time
 

“(Walkin’ Shoes) starts out pretty twangy, making it easy for a country fan to slide into, and then makes it hard to stop listening as Kamp delivers one solid song after another.” 
—Saving Country Music 

“With a resume that includes bass player, lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Ted Russell Kamp could be a contestant on The Most Interesting Man In the World.  Most of those talents are on display on his latest record, Walkin’ Shoes…with everything from classic rock to folk making an appearance, there’s going to be a song or two that will appeal to just about everyone.” —Twangville

Walkin’ Shoes is an album of 13 songs, all penned or co-written by Kamp, that deals with these familiar themes but his adept use of poetry, humor and honesty and his rich understanding and reinterpretation of American roots music make Walkin’ Shoes a joyous and inspiring ride. “A lot of these are traveling songs or songs about personal change—so the very earth metaphor of walking shoes applies to at least half of the songs,” Kamp explains.
 

Kamp’s voice is full of wisdom (“When you play rock and roll long enough, the blues is what you get” he sings on “This Old Guitar”), tongue in cheek humor (“I could have played it safe, I could have stayed in bed, but I won’t stop and stay at home, I’ll rest when I’m dead” he sings on “Home Away From Home”) and wistfulness (“I’m not asking for much, just a horizon and a touch, of a hobo’s lullaby” he sings on “Highway Whisper”.  The music is a combination of classic California singer/songwriter music with hints of country and soul. With nods to Bob Dylan and the Band, Leon Russell and Waylon and Willie, it reflects the sound of the many cities and cultures Kamp has become familiar with and the cities he calls his homes away from home. 
 

Kamp is a musicians' musician. He has toured the world as a singer/songwriter, playing solo and with his band, and released 11 solo albums. He has been called "a striking singer/songwriter … absolutely hypnotizing" (Music Row, USA) and "terrific … a star on the rise in the tradition of great troubadours like Guy Clark" (No Depression, USA). His record, Get Back to the Land, debuted at #1 on the Euro Americana Chart and his last 4 records have made the US Americana Chart's Top 100 Records of the Year.
 

Ted Russell Kamp is also a producer and one of the most in demand bass players in Los Angeles. As a bassist, Kamp has been playing with Shooter Jennings since 2004 as well as written numerous songs for Jennings including the 2005 hit "Steady at the Wheel". He has also played with Wilson Phillips, Jessi Colter, Wanda Jackson, Rosie Flores, Billy Ray Cyrus and countless other great artists both on the road and in the studio. 
 

Other guests on Walkin’ Shoes included Sam Morrow (Who co-wrote “Paid By The Mile” and joins Ted singing), Jaime Wyatt (who sings “Heart Under Pressure” and “Freeway Mona Lisa”), and Brian Whelan (Who sings “Get Off The Grid”, “Home Away From Home” and plays guitar and keyboards on the record).
 

“I wanted to capture a live energy of a handful of musicians in a room,” Kamp describes. “It is also more country influenced with some serious nods to the classic Sun Studio recordings of the late 1950’s as well as when Bob Dylan first went electric.”
