Shawn Camp | The Marinade Episode 210

Shawn Camp is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Arkansas who now makes his home in Nashville. He has written songs for Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and many more. Written with Loretta Lynn. Played in Alan Jackson, Jerry Reed, and Trisha Yearwood’s bands. He and Guy Clark unleashed the Sis Draper universe of songs on the world. 

My Gen X heart would be remiss if I didn’t mention that he wrote “Two Pina Coladas,” which Garth Brooks took to number one on the country charts, and “How Long Gone,” which enjoyed the same fate in the hands of Brooks and Dunn.

Y’all, what an incredible honor to bring you, my conversation with Shawn Camp.
