‘Ramblin’ On My Mind‘, the powerful new blues-rock single from Starlite & Campbell, an ambitious, kickass seven-minute modern blues-rock tribute to the legendary Robert Johnson. The song was originally recorded to be part of a tribute album to Robert Johnson.
The Story:
Robert Johnson‘s original 1930s recording of ‘Ramblin’ On My Mind‘ speaks to the universal human impulse to escape, seek self-discovery, and hit the road. This theme deeply resonated with Starlite & Campbell, making the track feel as relevant today as it was nearly a century ago.
“Everyone, at some point, has felt the itch to escape… that feeling of having ‘ramblin’ on your mind’ is a fundamental part of the human experience.” – Simon Campbell
The Sound:
The duo elevates this Delta classic with their signature explosive blues-rock intensity and a stellar line-up:
Simon Campbell – Guitar, vocals
Suzy Starlite – Bass guitar
Jonny Henderson – Hammond organ (recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios, Wales)
Steve Gibson – Drums
The Video, A Blues Pilgrimage:
The music video chronicles the couple’s ”Blues Pilgrimage” across the American South (Memphis, Clarksdale, Muscle Shoals. It’s more than a performance—it’s a visual representation of their ‘ramblin’, featuring incredible, intimate moments:

Behind-the-scenes tours of Sun Records, FAME Recording Studio, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and Elvis Presley’s childhood home
Playing a live session on Radio Memphis
“This road trip was truly life-changing,” says Suzy Starlite. “It was more than just visiting landmarks; it was about connecting with the roots of the music and the wonderful people who keep the flame alive. The video captures that energy—it’s a visual representation of the ramblin’ that led us to this tribute.”
This track offers a powerful blend of blues history and contemporary rock production – produced by Simon Campbell and mastered by Jon Astley.
