Anyway, on the "Bakersfield" volume of these comps, there is a 1963 instrumental from Glen Campbell called "12-String Special" that is really nice, sort of a choogling bar-room tune with a bit of a hoedown feel to it. I'm curious to see if his albums from around this period are in a similar vein, and/or if his albums up to his commercial breakthrough ('73? or so) are any good.

er, it's from 1964, actually, which was around the time he toured with the Beach Boys. more info here.

So it turns out he sang the lead vocal on "My World Fell Down" by Sagittarius. Who knew? Doesn't sound much like him, but I suppose he was singing to order.
