Slow Rewind

#70 Seller of 2005! In a musical world where the past is just as in your face as the flavor of the week, old favorites and new obsessions co-exist like the lion and the lamb. Sam Champion knows this well: they deliver turbulent modern tales with the ease of a comfy old flannel shirt; familiar sounds come down with a subtle cataclysm. Wall to wall with elegantly wasted wisdom far beyond the band's tender years, Sam Champion's music is as easy or as hard as you want it to be.

Produced by Brian Rosenworcel (Guster), Slow Rewind is solidly rooted in American rock music - intertwining elements ranging from the Sasquatch rock of Neil Young & Crazy Horse to the laconic chug of the Velvet Underground. One Critic said Sam Champion sounds like "Pavement covering CCR."
