"I remember the original album-"At the Gate of Horn", and I recall the first time I heard these people. My reaction was- "WOW"! At last- real musicians in the folk idiom! At the time when folk musicians were struggling with the basics, Gibson and Camp were carving melodic and harmonic lines that were superior to all others. Innovative harmony, cutting edge chords, and overall excellence were their trademarks. O.K.-so they are older. Still, this CD is not to be missed! Bravo!!!!"
Gibson & Camp -- Not At Their Best

"This is not a great recording -- but if you should ever hear the original "Gibson & Camp At The Gate of Horn" (c., 1961 on Elektra Records), you will discover an absolute treasure. "Revisited" tries to capture Gibson & Camp in that historic '60's performance, (virtually every song is contained on the original release), and falls flat on its face. The original Elecktra recording is due to be re-issued soon. Save your money for the real thing and catch these two folk artists at their absolute best."
Truely original! Brings us all back to the 60's.

"Although the voices of Gibson and Camp are a little weathered. We can still here the youthful voices that ushered in the folk era of the 1960's. Gibson's fingering on the 12 string is still nothing short of magnificent. Hearing this duo again brings real memories to me and my family."
Revisited? With pleasure!

"What if they threw a party and everybody came? Twice? Well, they did and now you can too. I was lucky enough to have been there for both, in between, and for the rest of the time Bobby had left. So I got to really listen as the tenor became a honey-warm baritone, as the chords progressed and then fused, and as they both grew into the promise they recorded so long ago, in that shoebox on North Dearborn. Notably missing, is the fabulous Shel Silverstein, who's original liner notes were as legendary as the album itself. His J-card presence, is all the more snubbed by its replacement. Mawkish, dour words from an instant,"old friend" who missed the entire point of both the man and his music as clearly as Shel captured and preserved it, over and over again. (we used to call them GibStein) Perhaps that's just the stuff of purists... The good news, is that the party's going on inside. And the gathering celebrates all the humor, harmony and musicianship of these two masters of their game who, some forty years earlier, exploded a movement of such joy, such possibility, that it lingers still today... Reminding us always, of the very best part of ourselves.P.s. Again, for the purists only, "For loving me" is the other added, but not so indicated, song."
