“Innes Campbell is a monster. His guitar playing is beyond my ability to describe ..... as a very capable song writer he covers topics ranging from the serious (with questions to the overly serious Richard Dawkins) to the absurd (bemoaning the fact that his baby has contracted a case of the dreaded the swine flu). His arrangements of traditional tunes ... are further testament to his musical dexterity. Greg McGrath, Australian Bluegrass Blog ”

“ "Innes" is Scotsman Innes Campbell, brother to Marianne and Rory Campbell of Deaf Shepherd fame and now a resident of Australia, where he is a GP. The family music-making clearly runs deep in his veins, too, and he's found a bunch of like-minded players to form a band that's best described as roots acoustic. Innes is bringing the band over in the summer for a few festivals so we'll all get a chance to appreciate their uniquely Scots/Australian take on bluegrass and to get caught up in the beauty of their playing which is, indeed, something quick and neat.

“Innes Campbell and Present C0mpany - Something Quick and Neat. To describe Innes Campbel as a guitar player is somewhat of an understatement. In 2009 the folks at Tamworth awarded him the title of National Guitar Champion. This CD highlights Innes's extraordinary guitar work and gives credence to the fact that his is not only one of the country's best flatpickers, but a talented songwriter also. Innes Campbell has delivered a range of music styles in this CD. Seven of the fourteen tracks are original songs or tunes with influences from the folk, country, swing and bluegrass. As a very capable song writer he covers topics ranging from the serious (with questions to the overly serious Richard Dawkins) to the absurd - bemoaning the fact that his baby has contracted a case of the dreaded the swine flu. His arrangements of traditional tunes like St Anne's Reel, Clinch Mountain Backstep, Big Sandy River and Beaumont Rag are further testament to his musical dexterity. ”

Saw you guys at Illawarra 18 months ago and was flabbergasted. Immediately bought 'Something Quick and Neat'. Still on high rotation in my partner's art classes.
