Album Notes

I Own the Road is the debut album from the Don Campbell Band, the five-piece contemporary country music group with offices in their native State of Maine as well as Nashville, Tennessee.

Released in 1998, the project features fan favorites "Heart of a Tennessee Town", "I Own the Road", and the 1-2 (step) punch of songs 8 & 9, "Rosalina" and "Cowboy Kind of Girl".

It was with "Rosalina" and "Cowboy Kind of Girl" that the band went on to win the world's largest country music talent search, the True Value Country Showdown at the Grand Ole Opry. Like the whole album, these tunes will pick you up and carry you away on a fun ride no matter what you're up to...at home, at work, on vacation or at ease!

Here's what some members of the music and press community have to say about the disk:

"Campbell - whose rich smooth voice is a highlight of the CD - has written or co-written all but one of the 12 songs - and in doing so laid a can't miss foundation for the album. There is a good mix of tempos and tunes here, all with a country flavor of one type or another. A little something for everyone. But it is the way the songs are structured and arranged that takes "I Own the Road" to the next level. Here's a guy who knows a thing or two about chord progressions, well-placed instrumental breaks and melodic finesse."
- Adrian Zupp for Spotlight

"Whether he's singing a fast-paced line dancing song or a beautiful ballad, Campbell does so with a clear, melodious, high tenor voice that can effortlessly drop down into the baritone range".
- April Boyle, FACE Magazine

"Campbell has one of the sweetest tenors since Vince Gill and it doesn't get any sweeter than on pretty love songs like "Heart of a Tennessee Town" or "You Can't Hide Love", Campbell originals from their latest album. "Rosalina", also from the album, features the band's harmony work on a quick little two-step. This is one of the songs they have been using in contests, and it's not surprising they're winning. The harmonies are high and sweet and the song is a jumping tune with a driving beat and some nice fiddle and guitar work in the middle."
- Kris Garnjost, JAM Music Magazine

The CD also features a sizzlin' cover of U2's "Pride (in the Name of Love)" and you don't want to miss it!

The Don Campbell Band prides itself on road-testing each song before it makes it on tape, and we hope you'll enjoy this very fun music collection!
