Description
Vivian Campbell at Xtreme Musician.
After being expelled from School at the age of 16 for being overly rebellious, Vivian Campbell joined a band called Sweet Savage. He played with them until 1982, when he successfully auditioned for Dio. After expressing differences with some of the other members of Dio, Campbell moved on to form Trinity. This band never really got off the ground, but resulted in his touring with Whitesnake in latter 1987. This, unfortunately, never resulted in any recorded material. Vivian joined the Riverdogs in the late 80's, and enjoyed some success with their self-titled album. In the early 90's, he moved on to Shadow King. In 1992, after the unfortunate demise of Steve Clark, Campbell joined Def Leppard.

“American music, Texas style.”
That’s Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown’s four-word description of his freewheeling musical philosophy (it’s also the title of his 1999 album). A living monument to the melting pot of American regional styles, he’s been dishing up his personal gumbo of blues, R&B, country, swing, bebop and Cajun for more than half a century. Born into a musical family in Vinton, Louisiana and raised in Orange, Texas, close to the Gulf Coast, “Gate,” as he’s known to friends and fans, has been a headliner for most of his 80 years.
Along the way, he’s kept audiences rocking, swinging and two-stepping all over the world, from his early days on the Southern “chittlin’ circuit” to concert halls, international blues festivals and network TV. A multi-instrumentalist, he fields a daunting arsenal of guitar, fiddle, mandolin, viola – just about anything with strings – as well as harmonica and drums.
He started as a drummer, but launched his career as a guitarist in 1947, when he picked up ailing headliner T-Bone Walker’s guitar at Houston’s Peacock Club and proceeded to tear the place apart, earning $600 in tips, quite a haul in 1947 dollars.
As luck would have it, the Peacock was owned by Don Robey, a gangster/entrepreneur who signed young Gatemouth to his new Peacock label and put him on the road fronting a big band.
Though he started as a T-Bone disciple, times were changing and Gate soon cut his own path, his edgier, more urgent blues attack contrasting with Walker’s mellow, jazzy approach ...

Jay Graydon Official Web Site:
ay Graydon may not be known to each and everyone, but to all lovers of quality music he is known as one of the greatest guitar players and songwriters of all time in music history.

It is almost easier to enumerate those artists he hasn't played with or produced or written songs for, than those artists whose career he has participated in ...
