Bill Camplin June 26, 2009

Bill Camplin is the proverbial "best singer nobody's ever heard of," even though he's known in folk music circles as the guy with the sweet pipes and the droll wit who runs Cafe Carpe, one of the nation's best small venues for touring singer-songwriters. Dylan's voice can be keening, tender, even disdainful. By contrast, Camplin's can hover over a heartbeat or swell like a river, but it turns each of these texts into a set-yerself-down story.
