Camptown is more than just a little travelin' music

"What can I say about Joe. This master percussionist, mandolinist extraordinaire never ceases to amaze. This is my pick-me-up while I'm on the road album, better n' a cup-a-joe when I'm pounding the keyboard. The last time he played here in town he dragged a plastic garbage can out of the restaurant kitchen and played that!!! (See Kitchen Jam - described in the liner notes)
A protege and band member of David Grisman, he's a staple of the northern California music circuit. Not a weak track on the disc, it had my 70-year old dad keeping time. Get it!"
I play Camptown again & again & again & again & again!

"Craven sure caught his magical energy on this one... the supporting players are just that brilliantly supporting. I put this CD on when I'm hosting a slumber party for my nine year old niece, (cha cha with cola & marshmellows) or a lively dinner party for friends and mid afternoon it's a sure fire way to kick my day up a notch! Better than a candy bar! This is definitely my favorite instrumental album right now."
