A Tribute to Machines – Hot in the Maui: A Tribute to Jerry Campbell

I didn’t know the name Jerry Campbell until I stumbled across this tribute album featuring some WOTT favorites – Ryan Ervin, Todd Kemp, Matt Moody, Matt Mueller, etc etc. It’s a tribute in the truest sense – these players highly respect the creations of Campbell and are putting it on a pedestal to showcase just how good they believe it to be. My ignorance aside, a cursory listen will unveil this dedication to be completely sensible. This is pop rock with all the right combination of elements. I’m diving in knowing that I’ll emerge on the other side with a new favorite local talent.
