SONG PREMIERE: Owen Campbell Gets Raw & Righteous on Devon Allman Produced “Breathing Bullets”

His grit and passion are sublime, and his unique storytelling is a true gift,” is what producer Devon Allman says about musician Owen Campbell. The Oz native brings his smoky vocals to the U.S. with his new album, Breathing Bullets on August 19th on ROC Records via MGM Distribution World Wide. This was recorded at High Low Studios in Memphis, TN and then mixed and mastered by the Grammy Award Winning wizard Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy). Campbell will embark on a U.S. Tour in August with Devon Allman and Andy McKee.

Breathing Bullets is filled with many flavors of music that comes from his musical background. A native of Canberra, Australia Campbell began his musical journey at home when his dad, a musician himself, gave his young son a guitar at the age of nine. “My father was a big influence,” he says. “But so were Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Band, and The Rolling Stones. I always liked the way The Band brought variety and diversity to their sound. So my sound has bits of country, soul, Celtic, and rock. I love the variations.”

Glide Magazine is premiering the powerful title track “Breathing Bullets” that propels with explosive anguish and undeniable charm. Campbell provides a much needed dual kick to lyrics and musicianship that is a rare musical commodity these days. From the acoustic strumming opening of of the track, to the song’s full throttle chorus, it is eerily reminiscent of mid 70’s Clapton and early Black Crowes.

“I’ve had a rough couple of years, I guess it’s about that, coming back to busking on the streets after touring overseas, feeling a little entombed by it. So this is the Phoenix rising, a recreation of oneself… Something along these lines?” says Campbell about “Breathing Bullets.”
