About Shawn Camp…

Shawn Camp

Shawn Camp was born Darrell DeShawn ‘Shawn’ Camp on Monday 29 August 1966 in Perryville, Arkansas where he was raised by a musical family.

Shawn Camp is an American musician who performs country music and Americana music.

Shawn Camp grew up surrounded by music – everything from his mother’s Elvis Presley (Tuesday 8 January 1935 – Tuesday 16 August 1977) collection, to his father’s Merle Haggard (Tuesday 6 April 1937 – Wednesday 6 April 2016) records, to picking parties at his home to the sounds of living legends and local heroes at bluegrass festivals his family regularly visited.

Before he had finished high school, Shawn Camp was playing for country dances around his home and hitting festival stages around the American Midwest as a member of bands with names like Grand Prairie Boys and Freddie Sanders & Signal Mountain.


Spotted by The Grand Ole Opry’s Osborne Brothers at an Iowa festival when he was twenty years old, Shawn Camp moved to Nashville in 1987 to play fiddle with the legendary bluegrass act.

Over the next few years, Shawn Camp lived the life of a sideman, touring for short runs and long stretches alike with country stars and newcomers, ranging from The Burch Sisters to Jerry Reed (Saturday 20 March 1937 – Monday 1 September 2008), Alan Jackson, Suzy Bogguss, and Trisha Yearwood.


Before long, Shawn Camp became a prolific songwriter too – thanks to a fortuitous encounter at Nashville’s song-writing Mecca, Bluebird Café, where he met songwriter Dean Miller.


In 1988, Shawn Camp found himself in a session upstairs at The Cowboy Arms & Recording Spa in Nashville with a band called Weary Hearts, which included a number of pickers destined for bluegrass stardom – Butch Baldassari, Ron Block, Mike Bub and Chris Jones.

Shawn Camp then struck up a friendship with a couple of ‘Cowboy’ Jack Clement’s apprentice engineers, David ‘Ferg’ Ferguson and Cousin Bob, and returned to work on some demos of his own material over the next year or so.

Soon after, ‘Cowboy’ Jack Clement (Sunday 5 April 1931 – Thursday 8 August 2013) stumbled upon Shawn Camp at the home of John Prine (Thursday 10 October 1946 – Tuesday 7 April 2020) as they were rehearsing The Whole Damn Family, a loose ‘band’ of rotating players featuring John Prine (Thursday 10 October 1946 – Tuesday 7 April 2020), Jim Rooney, David ‘Ferg’ Ferguson, Pat McLaughlin and others who got together for an annual Christmas show.


Dude Mowrey: 'Honky Tonk' (Capitol Nashville Records, 1991)

Dude Mowrey recorded Shawn Camp’s ‘Fallin’ Never Felt So Good’ (co-written with Will Smith) and included the track on ‘Honky Tonk’ (Capitol Nashville Records, 1991).


On Tuesday 26 October 1993, Shawn Camp saw the release of his self-titled debut album, ‘Shawn Camp’ (Warner Reprise Records, 1993), which was produced by Mark wright, and included three tracks, which were released as singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart:

(No.39, 1994) / this track featured background vocals from Shelby Lynne/ this track was also recorded by Mark Chesnutt, who included it on ‘Lost In The Feeling’ (MCA Records, 2000)

‘A Little Bit of Love’ (written by Shawn Camp and Will Smith)

Personnel involved in the recording of Shawn Camp’s self-titled debut album, ‘Shawn Camp’ (Warner Reprise Records, 1993), included the following:

Owen Hale and Kenny Malone (Thursday 4 August 1938 – Thursday 26 August 2021) (drums, percussion)

Mainstream country music success, however, proved elusive, especially when work on Shawn Camp’s second album ground to a halt over creative differences in 1994.


After a writing deal with Patrick Joseph Music and his stint with Warner Reprise Records, Shawn Camp signed with the publishing company, Forerunner, two of whose owners were Jim Rooney and Jack Clement’s long-time associate, Allen Reynolds, producer of Garth Brooks.

Staff at Forerunner included Pete Wasner (Vince Gill‘s piano player), George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt’s guitar player), perennial bluegrass Grammy nominee, Tim O’Brien, and Tony Arata, writer of Garth Brooks’ hit single, ‘The Dance’, which was No.1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart for two weeks in July 1990.

After Forerunner was sold to Universal Music Group, Shawn Camp became an in-demand co-writer and sideman with the upper echelon of Nashville’s singer-songwriters.


Shawn Camp’s first No.1 single as a songwriter came in early 1998, when Garth Brooks reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart with ‘Two Piña Coladas’ (written by Shawn Camp, Benita Hill and Sandy Manson) (No.1 for one week in May 1998); the track was included on Garth Brooks’ ‘Sevens’ (Capitol Nashville Records, 1997).


Brooks & Dunn: 'If You See Her' (Arista Nashville Records, 1998)

It was also in 1998 when Brooks & Dunn (Kix Brooks & Ronnie Dunn) reached No.1 with ‘How Long Gone’ (written by Shawn Camp and John Scott Sherrill) (No.1 for two weeks in September 1998); the track was included on Brooks & Dunn’s ‘If You See Her’ (Arista Nashville Records, 1998).


Yet even as Shawn Camp was scoring hits with the mainstream, he kept close to his roots too, co-writing with friends like Guy Clark (Thursday 6 November 1941 – Tuesday 17 May 2016) and Jim Lauderdale, another writer with a bluegrass background.

The commercial success of songs like ‘How Long Gone’ (written by Shawn Camp and John Scott Sherrill), a Billboard country music No.1 single for Brooks & Dunn (Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn) in 1998, was matched by critical acclaim for the likes of ‘Red Dirt’ (written by Shawn Camp and Jim Lauderdale) and ‘Forever Ain’t No Trouble Now’ (written by Shawn Camp and Jim Lauderdale), both of which were included on the Grammy Award winning Jim Lauderdale / Ralph Stanley (Friday 25 February 1927 – Thursday 23 June 2016) & The Clinch Mountain Boys collaboration, ‘Lost In The Lonesome Pines’ (Dualtone Records, 2002), a ‘Best Contemporary Bluegrass Album’ Grammy Award winner.


By the end of the 1990s, Shawn Camp grew intent on recording his songs in his own voice.


On Tuesday 26 June 2001, Shawn Camp saw the release of ‘Lucky Silver Dollar’ (Skeeterbit Records, 2001), which included the following tracks:

‘Off To Join the World (The Circus Song)’ (written by Shawn Camp)

Shawn Camp’s ‘Lucky Silver Dollar’ (Skeeterbit Records, 2001), which was produced by Mark Miller and Allen Reynolds, earned rave reviews but gained very little American country music radio airplay.

Shawn Camp continued, however, to focus on his song-writing until early 2003, when a spur-of-the-moment decision to record a couple of bluegrass shows at a favourite hang-out resulted in ‘Shawn Camp: Live At The Station Inn’ (Oh Boy! Records, 2004), which was released on Tuesday 31 August 2004 on Oh Boy! Records, a record label, which was owned by John Prine (Thursday 10 October 1946 – Tuesday 7 April 2020).

On Tuesday 21 March 2006, Shawn Camp saw the release of ‘Fireball’ (Thirty Tigers Records, 2006), an album which revealed his strengths as a rootsy, yet modern country music stylist, and included songs which evoked memories of country music classics, including the following:

Following the release of ‘Fireball’ (Thirty Tigers Records, 2006), Shawn Camp continued to write hit country songs which appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart, including ‘Would You Go With Me’ for Josh Turner (No.1 for one week in October 2006), and ‘Nobody But Me’ for Blake Shelton (No.4, 2006).


Shawn Camp also co-wrote Josh Turner‘s 2007 single, ‘Firecracker’ (No.2, 2007), and George Strait’s ‘River of Love’ (No.1 for one week in April 2009), which he performed with George Strait at the 2008 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards show.
