"Larry Campbell is like a musical iceberg. Not that he's cold in any way at all. He's as hot a player as anyone working. It's just that the magnitude of his musicianship is not on view all at the same time. Most of it is out of sight until he decides to do something else. The songs that he does with his wife Teresa are beautiful. If there is anything missing in what he brings, she supplies it. She's a rare talent. I'm sorry, but I just can't put into words about how I feel about what they do." - David Bromberg
