Her Father, John Campbell, Was A Musician

Paris Campbell's father John Campbell was born and raised in the United States city of Shreveport, Louisiana. The Texas-based electric power trio Junction was his first band.

The band, which included John on guitar and vocals, Tim Delaney on bass and vocals, and Jack "Satch" Haupt on drums and vocals, was founded in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1973.

After two years, the group split up. Around this period, Campbell finished recording his debut album, Street Suite.

He spent some time at Tyler, Texas' Robin Hood Studios at the cusp of the 1980s when he recorded a demo of his acoustic renditions of blues standards. These twelve songs were included in the Tyler, Texas Session compilation, released in 2000.

His CD, A Man, And His Blues, were recorded over two days in April 1988 and distributed by a small German record label.

Ronnie Earl served as producer and a guest guitarist. Howlin Mercy (1991), Elektra, and One Believer were their follow-up releases (1993).

The country blues song "When the Levee Breaks," also covered by Led Zeppelin, was written and initially recorded in 1929 by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie.

Dolly Fox Is Her Mother

Dolly Fox, is a current producer and former actress. She is best recognized for being Paris Campbell's mother. 

She was married twice, the first time to John Campbell, with whom she had Paris. Because she was raised by her grandparents rather than her own mother after the demise of her father, Paris is not particularly close to her mother.
