Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams


Produced by Common Ground Concerts

“The music Larry and Teresa make when they sing together is truly transcendent.”— Emmylou Harris

Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams’ acclaimed eponymous 2015 debut, released after years of playing with Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Phil Lesh, Little Feat, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, Mavis Staples, Rosanne Cash and many more, brought to the stage the crackling creative energy of a decades-long offstage union. A whirlwind of touring and promo followed, earning widespread praise from Rolling Stone and NPR, to the New Yorker and Wall Street Journal. When the dust cleared, the duo was ready to do it all again.

Which brings us to Contraband Love, a riskier slice of Americana. Larry, who produced Contraband Love, says, “I wanted this record to be a progression, bigger than the first one. That’s all I knew. I wanted the songwriting to be deeper, the arrangements more interesting, the performances more dynamic. Specifically how to get there, I didn’t know. I did know the songs were different. The subject matter was darker than anything else I’ve written.” 

Musically, Contraband Love revisits the Americana textures of the duo’s debut, deftly channeling Memphis, Chicago, the Delta, and Appalachia with equal assurance. Larry’s world-famous guitar work – scorching here, funky there, stellar always – punctuates the proceedings with riveting emotion, often like a third voice weighing in on a myriad of emotional states.
