Taking the Wheel is the second studio album by Australian singer David Campbell. The album was released in September 1997. There are three generations of songwriters represented on the recording - from musical theater masters like George Gershwin, Burton Lane to pop icons of more recent years like Paul Simon and Peter Allen and a new generation of writers.
Campbell's dad Jimmy Barnes suggested the song "It Will Always Be You", written by (Don Walker. In an interview with The New York Times, Campbell said; "This recording has been a great experience for me because I've had to trust myself and trust what I was hearing in my head - without being ignorant of the people around me and their advice, The buck stopped with me everywhere" adding "Every song has to mean something to me or there's no use singing it".[1]
