Happy Friday everyone. As part of last year’s Station to Station deluxe re-release, Cameron provided liner notes to David Bowie’s 1976 landmark album. He recalls watching Bowie record part of the album in the studio and being on the road for the subsequent tour. It’s a short, but sweet look at the album and its endurance 30+ years later.
Cameron’s chronicles Joni’s Mitchell in his liner notes for her greatest hits/compilation, Dreamland, released in September 2004. It’s part biography and a part musical journey for this under appreciated artist. More liner notes will be added soon including Jackson Browne’s Running on Empty, David Bowie’s Station to Station and The Very Best of the Eagles.
In case you missed it, Josh Ritter’s Golden Age of Radio has been reissued as a Deluxe 2 Disc Edition CD. Amongst the new features is an introduction essay by Cameron. Here’s all the details:

Did you know that Joni Mitchell’s new album Dreamland (a career spanning greatest hits hand picked by Joni) includes liner notes by Cameron? Check em out here.
I’ve added Cameron’s liner notes from Tom Petty’s Anthology – Through the Years. This is a double CD collection of Tom Petty & The Heartbreaker’s greatest hits.
If you recall, I added Cameron’s liner notes for the KGB fundraiser album Home Grown II back in July 2001. If you liked that, you’re in luck. I’ve just finished transcribing the liner notes for the original Home Grown album. This is the original benefit album sponsored by KGB FM & AM radio in San Diego to support the United Way. All the artists featured were local San Diego musicians with songs about San Diego. Enjoy!
