Archie Campbell

Artist: Archie Campbell

LP: All Star Jamboree
Song: "The Master's Hand"
[ listen ]

When I was a kid, there were two or three old men at church who always receited "The Master's Hand" whenever they were asked to speak at the puplit during sacrament meeting. It's an engaging parable and people usually seemed to pay more attention to their telling of the story than to anything else those men ever said at the pulpit or anywhere else. The only trouble with this nice Archie Campbell recording of "The Master's Hand" is that you actually get to hear "the master" playing the "worthless" violin at the auction during a brief instrumental interlude. His playing really isn't very good, but for the sake of the story it still somehow drives the price of the rickety instrument up from $3 to $3,000. In this case I'm afraid a final selling price of $23.95 would have been more realistic. You can read about country singer and Hee-Haw writer/star Archie Campell here and I've included a clip below of Archie doing one of his comic routines with Roy Clark on an episode of Hee-Haw, along with the LP liner notes about the inexpensiveness fabulousness of GUEST STAR Records.
