Ramblin’ On My Mind is the powerful new blues-rock single from Starlite & Campbell, paying homage to Robert Johnson. The song was originally recorded in Germany to be part of a tribute album to arguably, the father of the blues. They loved it so much, they decided to release it as a single.
The story
Robert Johnson’s original 1930s recording of Ramblin’ On My Mind speaks to the universal human impulse to escape, seek self-discovery, and hit the road. This theme deeply resonated with us, making the track feel as relevant today as it was nearly a century ago.
Everyone, at some point, has felt the itch to escape... that feeling of having ‘ramblin’ on your mind’ is a fundamental part of the human experience. | Simon Campbell
The video: a blues pilgrimage
The music video chronicles the couple’s ‘Blues Pilgrimage’ across the American South. It’s more than a performance—it’s a visual representation of their ‘ramblin’, featuring incredible, intimate moments like: Playing live at the iconic Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale | Behind-the-scenes tours of Sun Records, FAME Recording Studio, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, plus Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley’s childhood home. | Playing a live session on Radio Memphis
The official music video chronicles their incredible Blues Pilgrimage from Memphis and Clarksdale, to Muscle Shoals, Tupelo and Nashville.
It also includes footage of Simon in full producer mode, recording Johnny Henderson’s Hammond organ part at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, plus additional recent footage celebrating the origins of the band Mott The Hoople in Starlite’s hometown of Ross-on-Wye with her family, Nick Stephens and Jane Watts.
We believe this track offers a powerful blend of blues history and contemporary analogue rock production.
Much love
Suzy & Simon
Ramblin’ On My Mind is available to buy and stream via Bandcamp and all major streaming services. It’s dedicated to the one and only Nick Stephens. He loved music, especially guitars.
