Alex Campbell was one of Scotland's best-loved wandering minstrels. Learning the art of busking while traveling with American folk singers <a href="spotify:artist:0dcbZPNrE1zejMbLyUKxqd">Derroll Adams</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6iuM8yp1x2N0l6SONhyq4b">Ramblin' Jack Elliott</a> during the late '50s, he continued to perform a mixture of traditional Scottish tunes, American work songs, spirituals, and ballads until his death in 1987. He played an important role in introducing the songs of <a href="spotify:artist:74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX">Bob Dylan</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:55kipiKplrHBCZN6L1gtrv">Tom Paxton</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4rAgFKtlTr66ic18YZZyF1">Woody Guthrie</a> to audiences in England and the Celtic Isles. Campbell moved to Denmark in the 1960s, settling first in Skagen and then in Tonder. For a brief period, Campbell was married to American folk singer, <a href="spotify:artist:0gXQn7UrpopDb2TIkmIjoU">Peggy Seeger</a>. In 2003, Storyville Records issued both In Copenhagen and At the Tivoli Gardens for the first time on CD. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
