Biography
Jimmy Campbell was perhaps the most talented “unknown” musician to come out of the early 60s Liverpool scene. One of his earliest bands, the Kirkbys, played Beatles’ influenced beat music and folkrock, releasing a few respectable singles in the mid 60s. When psychedelia became the trend, Campbell put together the 23rd Turnoff, who released just one single, the excellent “Michaelangelo.” In the middle of Campbell’s solo career (he released 3 albums) he took some time off and with the help of ex-Merseybeat Billy Kinsley put together Rockin’ Horse. Most of the tracks on Yes It Is were written by Campbell with Kinsley contributing just 3 tunes. http://therisingstorm.net/rockin-horse-yes-it-is/
