Description

Anyone who listens to the new album ‘Segovia At The Wheel’ (release date: 08.08.2025) by Belgian artist Roland Van Campenhout from the very beginning will feel like the ‘hobo’ sung about in the opening song. The rails rattle beneath us in a monotonous, even rhythm, the most varied landscapes pass by cosy and regularly, day turns into night and then day again. Right in the middle of it all is the lonely, homeless, permanent traveler, without a destination, but with the firm intention of being ‘on the road’ and shaping his strange existence in this way.

Roland Van Campenhout, the ‘eternal hobo’, turns 81 on July 25th. The very first notes of the 12-song Calaidoscope ‘Segovia At The Wheels’ immerse the listener in the enchanted atmosphere of its creator. The Belgian master guitarist and singer creates an atmosphere of sound that is as frugal as it is mysterious, not unlike Ry Cooder’s soundtrack of the century for the Wim Wenders film
