It's been a long time since Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams have been able to headline their own show and highlight their own music. They have both been part of the backbone of many national touring acts, including Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Paul Simon, Hot Tuna and scores of others. (In fact, one wonders what some of these musical acts are doing right now that Larry and Teresa are out on their owntour.) But Larry and Teresa say their time touring with the late, great Levon Helm gave them the spark to work as a musical duo themselves.

Larry and Teresa have been married for 27 years … to each other, even though they really didn't get to tour together till around 2005 or so. Now, the couple have released an album of songs on Red House Records that is a collection of originals and a few well-chosen cover tunes. They are on tour these days with Jackson Browne, and they stopped in to the Radio Heartland studio on their way through the Twin Cities.
