Well, Well, Well is one of the signature songs performed by Gibson and Camp during their on-again, off-again years performing together. Written by Gibson, they added the song when they rerecorded their definitive folk album Gate Of Horn in 1986 as "... Revisited"; the song, however, had been written in 1960 (or shortly before) and had been a frequent request whenever they performed together. Revisited is available on CD and can be purchased at Hamilton Camp's web site at hamiltoncamp.com. It includes both the songs and the between song comments as recorded originally at Gate Of Horn in Chicago in 1961. The original Gate Of Horn album (which did not include Well, Well, Well) was one of the most influential folk albums of its time. Gibson and Camp are often spoken of as being the bridge between the folk music of The Weavers and the singer/songwriter folk music of the 60s and 70s. The recording of Well, Well, Well that appears on a number of folk anthologies is NOT from the 1986 release, but from the Vanguard recording from the 1960 Newport Folk Festival when Gibson and Camp performed together for the first time.
