On The River, Campbell Harrison is able to blend together equal amounts Jane’s Addiction and Layne Staley, adding more than a fair share of bluegrass and alt-country to the mix. The guitar laid down here is fantastic, bringing more than just musical accompaniment to the composition. Rather, the guitar work adds considerable depth to the soundscape that is crafted here. Hopeful and vibrant, Campbell’s vocal approach is matched shortly after with a soulful, sizzling riff. This brief solo bridges the two sections of The River well, acting as a palette cleanser. The final minute of The River rockets to a stellar end.
