Stewart, John

Last Campaign
1985 Original Still In Shrink Wrap. Includes Custom Inner Sleeve. “The Last Campaign, Issued In 1985 On John Stewart's Homecmoing Records Label, Is An Album Of Songs Written During And About The Presidential Campaign Of Robert Kennedy That Ended In His Assassination. Stewart And Buffy Ford Traveled With Kennedy, Playing On Flatbed Trucks From The Backs Of Trains, On Stages At Rallies, Anywhere They Could. Some Of The Songs, Like "Pirates Of Stone Country Road," Have Appeared Before, But These Are Re-Recordings Of All Of Them, Thematically Linked To The Promise And Devastation That Went Along With Kennedy's Death. California Friends Like Linda Ronstadt, Lindsey Buckingham, Chuck Mcdermott, And Fred Koch Were On Board As Well As A Few Others. By And Large This Is A Simple But Beautiful Recording That Stewart Produced By Himself, Wrapped Deeply In Reverie And The Romanticism Of A Time That Perhaps Never Existed. But To The Listener, No Matter What Questions Exist Beforehand -- Or After The Albums Closes With A Reprise Of The Title Song, And Dreams Are Shattered, Left In The Dust, Or Embittered -- This Is All Heartfelt And Real.” – Thom Jurek, AMG
