​Ted Russell Kamp (from the album Down in the Den available on PoMo Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
It’s the best of both musical worlds for a professional musician. One job has you holding down the bass duties as you back a key player in the Americana crowd, the other job is your own solo career. With Shooter Jennings production duties outnumbering his performance schedule, Ted Russell Kamp can put down the bass and focus on his ever-expanding solo career which includes a dozen releases, the latest being Down in the Den. The record opens like the coming together of a loose jam session, where a tambourine rhythm is joined by percussion, the rest of the band easing in. “Home Sweet Hollywood” is a love-letter to the city that reveals a industry-town reality where ‘every actor’s waiting tables, every bartenders in a band’.
Both “Stick with Me” and “Word for Word” are laidback love ballads while “Have Some Faith” and “Hold On” find Ted Russell Kamp picking subtle Blues guitar. 
A horn section drives “Waste a Little Time” and “Hobo Nickel”, the latter moving along with a Bourbon Street bounce while “My Turn To Cry”, with its big pedal steel-guitar hook and chug-along rhythm is a solid, Country Rock ripper. Down in the Den closes with a quiet duet featuring KP Hawthorne, “Take My Song with You” exiting the album on an airy ballad with dreamy, ambient pedal steel.  Ted Russell Kamp remains a solid citizen in the Roots Rock neighborhood, a purveyor of loose Rock that flirts with Country and Blues while dashing between Folkie with a guitar and full-blown band leader. It is all done quite well. (by Bryant Liggett)
