Steel guitariste
Country US né Cecil R. Campbell, le 22 Mars 1911 à Danbury (Caroline
du Nord). Cecil Campbell est
décédé le 18 Juin 1989.
Cecil
Campbell was most famed as a steel guitarist for the Tennessee Ramblers during
the 1930s and '40s, although he also played tenor banjo. Born March 22, 1911, in
North Carolina, Campbell worked on his father's tobacco farm and played
occasionally on WSJS in Winston-Salem. While visiting his brother in Pittsburgh
in the early '30s, he met Dick Hartman and was asked to join Hartman's Tennessee
Ramblers, a large group that played both Western swing and old-time string
music. Campbell played on radio broadcasts and Bluebird sessions with the band
throughout the '30s, taking over the leadership of the Ramblers' by-then
skeleton crew in 1945, when the only original member left was guitarist Harry
Blair.
Cecil Campbell & the Tennessee Ramblers gained a contract with RCA Victor in
1946 and recorded throughout the late '40s. Campbell's steel guitar wizardry was
emphasized, and the Ramblers gradually became more Campbell's backing group than
an original entity themselves. During his RCA tenure, "Steel Guitar Ramble"
became Campbell's only hit when it reached the country Top Ten in May 1949.
Campbell also recorded for Disc and Palmetto Records during the early '50s, but
signed with MGM in 1955, mixing some rockabilly material in with his traditional
swing. He recorded in the '60s for Starday, and Campbell later founded his own
label in North Carolina, occasionally playing shows and recording. He also
appeared often at the Western Film Fair (held in Raleigh, NC) until his death in
1989.
