'It Was The Music': Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams Get A 10 Episode Documentary With All-Star Guests

Red Poppy Films will be releasing a ten episode documentary series, It Was The Music, chronicling the lives and love of veteran musicians Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Moskowitz, the first episode premieres Sunday, December 13. New episodes will debut every Sunday (excluding January 3, followed by two episodes available on January 10th). 

A Grammy Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, and bandleader, Larry Campbell is a true veteran hailed for his defining work with artists such as Levon Helm, Bob Dylan, The Black Crowes, and many more.

Known for her passion for music “that comes from the dirt,” Teresa Williams is a singer/actor known for her roles as Sara Carter in Keep On The Sunny Side and the title role in Always….Patsy Cline as well as serving as a vocalist for Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Phil Lesh and Friends and Peter Wolf, to name but a few.

Having set forth on their own joint musical career, the documentary follows the couple packing their bags, guitars, amps, and 30-year marriage into their SUV and setting out across America to sing their own songs along with interpretations of Gospel, Blues, Country, and Classic Rock ‘n’ Roll. 

The soundtrack for the series collects previously unreleased music from Campbell and Williams, including new renditions of songs by The Band, Grateful Dead, Little Feat, Buffalo Springfield, and more, performed alongside such friends as Patty Griffin,  Buddy Miller, Bill Payne, and the late Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble Band.

The first track “It Ain’t Gonna Be A Good Night” is available now ahead of the December 6th release of the soundtrack.
