Roland

Ever since the 70s Roland Van Campenhout is known to be one of the best blues performers in Belgium - be it solo, with just an acoustic guitar and a mouth harp, or with some friends, just having a ball... Of course, Roland is more than just the blues. On his LPs and CDs he experiments with oriental sounds and samples (listen to his 1990 album The Last Tribe); On Snowblind you'll find a lot of instrumental tracks, setting a lot of different moods...

Ever since the 70s Roland Van Campenhout is known to be one of the best blues performers in Belgium - be it solo, with just an acoustic guitar and a mouth harp, or with some friends, just having a ball... Of course, Roland is more than just the blues. On his LPs and CDs he experiments with oriental sounds and samples (listen to his 1990 album The Last Tribe); On Snowblind you'll find a lot of instrumental tracks, setting a lot of different moods... You wonder how come the weird music on Little Sweet Taste still sounds like the blues... Waltz, and especially Last Letter Home, are just magnificent, with a lot of covers from the likes of Tony Joe White, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake,... but they're more than just cover-albums... Roland understands the songs, feels what he's singing, whether it's a touching folk song or plain old blues. Roland and other Belgian musicians like Wigbert, Pieter-Jan de Smet or Neeka share their talents on several occasions... you'll find Roland playing organ with Raymond van het Groenewoud or André Brasseur or see him in the studio with Vaya Con Dios... Roland is everywhere in the Belgian music scene. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
