Campbell is a nut, he has been busted on drugs and booze before and started dating Tanya Tucker when she was of legal age.

For the record I'm a huge fan of his, have his Capitol double CD collection, and am very partial to his duet with Bobbie Gentry, "Morning Glory" as well as the Webb stuff and other odds and ends like "Hey Little One."

I like the idea of him doing 'Walls'. The tracklist doesn't make me cringe...but what's his voice like these days?

VU+Lennon+Replacements songs = thumbs up "Times Like These"+"Sing"+Green Day song = who the hell suggested these?
― Z S, Thursday, 1 May 2008 04:48 (5 years ago) Permalink
I'm v.curious about the Green Day cover - attempts to picture it in my head end up with more of a Johnny Cash vibe - is this his answer to all those latterday Cash records, or has he/other country veterans already done that?

Really looking forward to hearing "These Days".
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 1 May 2008 06:45 (5 years ago) Permalink
Oh my God. This is going to be incredible! I am so down with this. Sadly Beautiful is the one I want to hear first.
I always knew he should get the Johnny Cash treatment. When does this come out?

3 songs are streaming at the glencampbellshow.com
Without doubt, the single most anticipated record of the summer, perhaps the decade. It's got the potential to bring the music industry to its knees, people! Kneel before Glen campbell.

Listening to it now! He´s giving it the Johnny Cash treatment, with all these covers. Except it doesn´t sound sparse like Cash, it´s rocky and jingle-jangly. Had much rather seen him do new songs of his own, but hey, it's really nice to hear his voice again.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 1 August 2008 10:51 (4 years ago) Permalink
Thankfully, based on the streaming tracks this is nothing at all like the "Johnny Cash treatment." There's nothing ironic about it, he's not imposing himself on these songs, they're more just like straight-up covers which is kinda nice.
Except these three songs are lame to begin with.
― Hadrian VIII, Friday, 1 August 2008 13:34 (4 years ago) Permalink
There are some more interesting songs on the new record that aren't streaming. Sadly Beautiful by the Replacements and Velvet Underground Jesus are two.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 1 August 2008 14:17 (4 years ago) Permalink
His version of Jackson Browne's (& Nico's) "These Days" is easily the best thing I've heard all year. "Jesus" is perhaps the 2nd best thing I've heard all year. The rest of the LP is less giant-killing, but still pretty impressive. His voice is still a thing of great power & beauty.
― harveyw, Friday, 1 August 2008 15:12 (4 years ago) Permalink
he actually does U2 pretty well, too. a return to the Al DeLoryisms of yore, right down to cinematic sweep of strings and some terse Glen guitar solos where all he does is play the melody. Not so hot on the Westerberg tune and of course that fucking Green Day song is the "Send in the Clowns" of, yeecchh. Pretty good record.

Ghost On The Canvas sees Campbell capping his brilliant career with one of his most moving and energized works to date, a powerfully emotional song cycle that sees him accompanied by a truly dazzling line-up of songwriters and musicians. Among the tunesmiths contributing original songs to the collection are such modern luminaries as Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan, Robert Pollard, and Teddy Thompson, backed by a roster of players that includes Chris Isaak, Dick Dale, Billy Corgan, Brian Setzer, Rick Nielsen, Roger Manning, and The Dandy Warhols. The album is produced by Julian Raymond, who also co-wrote a number of new songs with Campbell.

so is anyone catching the farewell tour? there are shows scheduled through MAY. kinda makes me queasy.
― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 January 2012 17:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
Caught him in London I was very happy to see him again, but he has definitely deteriorated since even 2 years ago which was the last time I saw him. Not in voice or guitar playing quality, but there are some awkward moments where he'll forget if he's played a track already or repeat a joke.... he's being backed by his kids though who keep him on track, but that just adds to the sadness even more.
and Glen Campbell is fucking sad music already. all things combined it was ULTRA SAD MIDDLE AGED MEN AND ME CLOSE TO TEARS THROUGHOUT.
setlist for this tour is a variation on this:
Gentle on My MindGalvestonBy the Time I Get to PhoenixTry a Little KindnessWallsWhere's the Playground SusieDreams of the Everyday HousewifeIt's Only Make BelieveTrue GritDream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)Dueling BanjosRollin' in My Sweet Baby's ArmsThe Moon's a Harsh MistressSouthern NightsIn My ArmsWichita LinemanRhinestone Cowboy
ENCORE
It's Your Amazing GraceA Better Place
when he started The Moon's A Harsh Mistress a guy below me let out a moan that was 45% pleasure 55% pain of the SADNESS. but yeah, you'll regret it if you don't go. it's Glen Motherfucking Campbell.
