I had the honor of listening to an advance copy of Hamilton's CD. It is called "Sweet Joy" and it will be released in about three weeks. Hamilton recorded this CD with James Lee Stanley and James was kind enough to send me an advance copy which I will share on my radio program this Sunday (WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS - 3 to 6pm ET, you can listen in on www.wfdu.fm )

It is a more mature voice that comes across on this CD, but Hamilton used his voice with authority. This is a stunning recording, and sadly it becomes his final songs to us. The disc starts off with a lovely recording of Wandering Aengus. There are a number of originals, I particularly enjoy a song called Long Train. He does a brilliant re-make of his classic "Pride of Man" as well as a couple of Dylan and Keb Mo covers, among others. There is a lovely version of the Gibson & Camp song "2:19" (which is done in 2:05!) Hamilton sang both parts on this version!

James Lee Stanley did a beautiful job of capturing Hamilton Camp in this recording. I am sure that Hamilton would have received much acclaim for this "comeback" CD. Thank you for leaving us with such a gift.

James will also be on my program this week to talk about the CD. I will also be paying tribute to Harold Leventhal. What a sad week.
