notes

The Mashed Potato Swing is the second CD release from the Don Campbell Band, a five piece performing group with headquarters in Portland, Maine and Nashville, Tennessee.

Don and the band road-test every song before they record to ensure a quality CD project vs. just one or two catchy tunes. The Mashed Potato Swing features the upbeat, danceable title track, a little bluegrass, some country rock, a country pop tune or two, beautiful ballads, great stories, and even a "countryfied" version of an Elton John song.

The Don Campbell Band has an extensive resume of performances and awards. In 1999 they won the world's largest music talent search, the True Value Country Showdown, and were awarded $50,000 and the title of "Best New Act in Country Music" on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on December 15.

Also in 1999, they won the highest honors in Jim Beam's Back Room Country Band Talent Search at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville on November 11.

In both competitions, the band was judged on overall appeal, musicianship, songwriting and marketability by industry executives.

The band performs throughout the country in many different venues including clubs, theaters, country headliner shows, casinos, corporate events, fairs and festivals - from arenas to intimate settings, they've thrilled audiences from east to west! They have opened for such country greats and legends as American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Ricky Skaggs, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, Tanya Tucker, JoDee Messina and many others.

The band's first CD, I Own the Road (1998), is a fan favorite and includes award-winning songs, Rosalina and Cowboy Kind of Girl.

  • The best ever, and a great bunch of guys. WOW!!!!!
    author: Betty Leady

    Mashed Potato Swing rocks, as a friend and fan of Don and the Band, All the songs say a lot about them and I love to listen and watch them preform. Goodnight Kiss is my very favorite song on the album. I think everyone should be lucky enough to have one.

  • Remarkably good album in every respect
    author: Steve P.

    Another remarkable album from the Don Campbell Band, it seems to get better each time you listen to it! This album like the one before it (I Own the Road) displays a wide range of musical styles by these very talented musicians and touches all of your emotions. Everyone will find something they like on this album. Don's voice lends itself especially well to the ballads which are my personal favorites - The Angel and the Devil, Goodnight Kiss and Can't You Hear My Heart Calling.

  • Top Tapping, Dancing Music

    My husband and I have seen Don Campbell Band live and bought their CD's. I'm never disappointed as their songs are original and Nashville does not know what they are missing! I highly recommended any C&W fan to buy this CD and the previous release 'I Own The Road'. If you get a chance to see them live you will be glad you did. Excellent CD!!
