Editorial review
If Chet Delcampo were a jazz saxophonist instead of a pop-rock artist, he would end up being compared to Gerry Mulligan or Paul Desmond instead of Willis Jackson, Houston Person or Booker Ervin. That's because Delcampo, like the artists of jazz's Cool School, knows how effective subtlety can be--and he uses it to full advantage on his promising debut album, The Fountain. There are many adjectives that can be used to describe this CD--moody, understated, wistful, intimate and melancholy are some of the ones that immediately come to mind. But no one will call The Fountain the work of a belter because Delcampo is anything but. The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter favors a soft, hushed, gentle style of singing, and tracks like "Aglow," "Coffee With Tom T. Hall" (which doesn't sound anything like the famous country singer) and "Train Station" are so subtle that they could easily fade into the background if you're distracted. But The Fountain is way too substantial to serve as mere background music. Listeners would do well to turn up the volume, give Delcampo their full, undivided attention and find out for themselves just how captivating an album The Fountain is. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
CHET DELCAMPO
Chet Delcampo produced most of the Cd(Parthenon Huxley,Mike Brenner,Woody Jackson,and Kid Congo Powers helped produce some tracks)
Chet Delcampo played most of the instruments(help was provided by Joel R.L. Phelps,Kimball Brown,
David Lovring,Kiara Geller.Woody Jackson,and Mike Brenner)
"His tunes are wistful.melancholy,and obsessively
manicured to elicit just the right shade of dispossession...And while Delcampo pops out of his crushed-velvet reverie every once in a while to delve into some alt-country figures and Freedy Johnston-style oh-lonesome me's,it's the overall wash of pure blue tone that makes The Fountain a keeper."
Joey Sweeney-Philadelphia Weekly 4/00
"..lovely and moody debut."
Sara Sherr-Philadelphia Daily News 4/00
"...spend the right kind of time with The Fountain-a summer night solo drive,say-and the proper sound level,kindred spirits emerge and interesting connections tend to surface.
