Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams Announce ‘Live At Levon’s’ Album & Share Single

Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams detailed a new album, Live At Levon’s, due out on February 3, 2023 via Royal Potato Family. The husband and wife duo also shared the single, “Angel Of Darkness.”

The 12-track collection was captured over the course of two concerts at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York on September 20 and 21, 2019. The space is a familiar one for Campbell and Williams as they performed with the studio and music venue’s founder, legendary The Band drummer Levon Helm, in the Midnight Ramble Band with Campbell acting as bandleader for over a decade.

Campbell spoke about his time with Helm and more:

“This thing that Teresa and I do, though born on the back porch in Tennessee, was honed for public consumption during the wonderful years we spent making music in Levon’s barn. There’s magic between those wooden walls, a comfortable environment where there’s no distance between performer and audience. Any event in there is a complete communal experience where there’s no hierarchy, no pressure or attempt at inhibition, just a great place to enjoy all the benefits of music making. When the idea came up for us to do a live record there was no question as to what the venue should be.”

Williams added:

“I’ll never forget the first time I experienced performing as a child and knew my lot in life was set. The only reason I am a singer is because of the indefinable spark that happens with the giving and receiving of your most intimate selves, back and forth, between the artist on stage and the audience there in the room. If I can’t see the audience because of lighting, it almost becomes even more spiritual, because it’s all just feeling them—us together in the moment. And each performance/audience has its own personality. If you can drop the thinking and just ‘be’ with them and this sharing of your most intimate selves, there’s no describing the transcendence.”

On Live At Levon’s, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell and vocalist Teresa Williams are backed by their band of longtime drummer Justin Guip, bassist Jesse Murphy and Levon Helm alumnus Brian Mitchell on keyboards, accordion and harmonica. You can hear the chemistry of the band immediately on the new single, “Angel Of Darkness,” which Campbell co-wrote with Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen.
