| If I remember correctly, Bobby Black played on the studio version of "Meet me in Stockholm" – and very well indeed. Superb steel work on that album. |

Just watched several of Doug's tube's because of this post. Enjoyed very much. Used to see him a lot in Austin. A true Texas Honky Tonk artist. Always a good band and always a good show. What a shame he is no longer with us. Question?? Do you know if Larry Cambell is a Son of Doug Cambell from OKC? Doug was a great steel player. This young man Larry played very well, steel and fiddle. J.R.

Larry Campbell lives in the New York area. I don't know if he was born and raised there, but he's been there for quite a while.
Looking him up on the wikipedia site, it looks like he was born in NY city in 1955. |

Of course on keyboards is Augie Meyer, the drummer is Ernie Durawa, guitarist is Luis Ortega, and the sax man is Rocky Morales. All legendary San Antonio musicians. Since I know what these guys look like now, I'd say this video is from the 80's some time.

Yes, Larry Campbell is quite a talent. He’s a truly all-around musician—sings and plays steel, fiddle, guitar and probably others--all quite well. He toured with Bob Dylan and later Levon Helm years ago.
I saw Larry and his lovely and talented wife Teresa Williams just a couple of years ago opening for Emmylou Harris on a tour. Emmylou then had them come out and play several numbers with her band, and they all sounded wonderful together.
He and Teresa write some excellent original songs.

I was in a band a few years ago that did their “Surrender To Loveâ€â€”a super song IMHO!

As a little piece of trivia, the late Harry Hess also forum member played steel for Sahm in later years.

I saw Doug in Helsinki in the early 90’s (?) with Meyers, Bobby Black, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford. Quite a line up....
Larry Campbell.... He can play ANYTHING.
Check out his album of acoustic guitar instrumentals called Rooftops. Talent.....
