Postcards from Nowhere (2005)

Slow, simple, unadorned and powerfulâ - Sunday Times - Album of the Week ****

Evoking Micah P Hinson and Bruce Springsteen, gravelly Glasgow troubadour Grant Campbell is an inner-city cowboy, a brambly folk Romeo: a quiet delight to behold. His enchanting 2005 debut album, Postcards from Nowhere, was recorded at home in Glasgow. Its a gentle, exquisite exposition of amber ranch canticles and scorched alt-folk lullabies: it is unadorned, potent, gruff and wonderful. - Triptych

â13/13â¦this is one of the best debuts of years passed, a real hidden treasure that must be found by allâ - Room Thirteen

âA voice and writer to watchâ - Net Rhythms

âHe may be a little country, a little bit rockân'roll, but all of his songs have an emotional honesty that cuts straight to the heartâ - Sunday Herald

Beyond Below (2007)

âHis voice remains as distinctive and evocative as ever, notably on the unusually upbeat Red River, the unexpectedly pretty Careless Words (which recalls the gentle country-rock of Mike Nesmithâs First National Band) and the title track, with its Dylanishly simple harmonica soloâ - Sunday Times ****

âThis is an outstanding second album and the collection of fourteen tracks is as understated as it is brilliantâ - Reverb Magazine ****

â14 songs each possessing the power to halt any listener unwittingly in their tracks and leave them staring pensively into the middle distanceâ - The List ****

âOn his second release, Campbell has hit something of a modern benchmark that many singer-songwriters can only aspire toâ - The Skinny ****

âCampbellâs music displays the richness of theme and conviction of early Springsteen met with the lilting laid-back manner of later Bob Dylan, itâs a glorious concoction of truthful soulful melancholy thatâs as uplifting and relaxing as Drake, Cohen and Jeff Buckleyâ - Room Thirteen ****

âPoetically powerful and often set in urban darkness or shadow, his songs are steeped in loss, alienation, temporal innocence, the need to escape and the unsayable in relationships, yet filled with a meditative sense of optimism and ultimate redemptionâ - Scotland on Sunday ***

âBoth understated and atmospheric, Beyond Below gives a respectful nod to Bruce Springsteen at his most vulnerableâ - The Scotsman ***

Expecting Great Things (2009)

Grant Campbell is an underground treasure, and it is vital that you grab this record and become almost at one with yourself againâ
- For Folks Sake

âGrant Campbellâs intimate third album pushes his haunting vocal to the foreâ 4/5
