THE WOUNDERER: PAT CAMPBELL Format: CD SINGLE Price: $3.00
 

TRACK INFO COMING SOON

 

  • Release Date: October 7, 2007
  • Number of Discs: 1
  • Label: Dharma Records
  • ASIN:
  • In honor of our famous Michigan Deer Season Dharma Records will reissue a past release of the Pat Campbell masterpiece “The Wounderer”. Originally released 10 years ago on cassette, this 2008 deer season will host the return of the Pat Campbell single on CD. You can order online or call us here at Dharma Records. 989-344-1228.

    The release of “The Wounderer “, in the early nineties, made light to one of the production techniques of Allen Bondar. This technique is trying to clone the sound as close to the original band track (in this case “The Wanderer” by Dion) but having all the sound qualities that today’s digital techniques offer. The song was well received by Michigan radio and got a lot of airplay. The biggest surprise was actually getting airplay on Detroit radio. It was certain to get airplay in Northern Michigan where the majority of deer hunters venture, but even the Motor City loved “The Wounderer”. The recording was heard by The Reflections (Just Like Romeo And Juliet). Hearing the production of “The Wounderer” led them to believe that Allen could help them capture the magic that made their big hit song come to life years ago. Al was commissioned by the Reflections to work with Marshall Block and recreate the Detroit city smash hit “Just Like Romeo And Juliet”. The joint production between Dharma Records and Reel to Real Productions proved very successful and the song came out great. The (now a few years older) Reflections sang better than ever. That particular track can be heard on the new Reflections EP.

  • In 1971 the fates of the music industry would design a meeting with Al Bondar and Bob Wise.  The next eight years would become a special place in time where Al and Bob musically “ran with scissors” and “colored outside the lines”.  They became obsessed to create and design a music that might personify their innermost emotions and feelings that were laced with passion, adrenaline, and certainly some testosterone, as well.  There was an unbelievable atmosphere in a Bondar & Wise concert when the audience would become a part of the songs and the arrangements.  Every show was a new adventure where energies would pass back and forth between Bondar & Wise the audience and the material they were performing.  “There has been much treasure in the "Live for Today" theory but I still recall B & W living for the Next Note".  Never able to make the transition that the major labels wanted B&W to make they finally realized their strongest music was being left behind in attempts to accommodate the "GODZ OFTHE MUSIC INDUSTRY".  It only took thirty years to find a record label that would take on the risk of this eccentric non-conforming, overly innovative musical anomaly called Bondar and Wise.  Many thanks to Dharma Records for making this bold release.  Far from the digital recording qualities that we know today, this early 70’s recording has been restored to listening quality to preserve the only live, in concert performance of Bondar & Wise performing the music they were meant to play.

    Al is a kindred spirit to all who desire and strive for more than the ordinary. To say he is ahead of his time is too simple; there are leaders and there are followers, those who break new ground and those who are content simply to clone. When the dust settles it's the true innovators that history will hold. Commercial success is an intangible, few can guarantee, but quality, true quality talent and innovation last forever. Don't miss this chance to hold a piece of eternity...this is thee place to be in the universe.

    Product Description
    A special blend of vocals and a genuine flavor-Al's music defies category-with a taste of jazz, rock and roll and classical all with a country lean far hippier than anything nashville would dare stamp out of its current cookie factory. This album is rated PG-13.

A god given talent, as well as an intense passion for music, has helped develop his unique style as an accomplished musician, singer and song writer. His extreme versatility has taken him on a musical excursion through love life and the world. Allen Bondar has received consecutive ASCAP Awards from 1994 - 1999. Allen's music has been used in recent movie productions by Richard Dreyfus / Glen Frey (THE EAGLES )/ NBC Television productions / Disney Productions / SHOWTIME Movies / VH1 / DMX Cable MSIC .
