Gentle on My Mind
Winning a Grammy for album of the year in 1967, "Gentle on My Mind" is certainly
one of Glen Campbell's best albums. With excellent sound and production quality you
can appreciate his use of voice and instrumental backup.
It contains tracks including Bob Dylan’s “Catch the Wind”, Harry Nilsson’s "Without
Her" and the melodic “Gentle on my mind”. The other tracks are all quality and they
include "It's Over;", "Bowling Green", "Just Another Man", "You're My World" and
the album closes with a convincing cover of "Crying".
Capitol Years 1965-77
This album just shows the versatility of Glen Campbell. All Glen's UK hits are included
and a thorough overview of the Rhinestone Cowboy's 12 years on Capitol Records, 1965-1977.
It has 46 tracks, including hits like, “Honey Come Back”, “Gentle On My Mind”, “Galveston”,
“Rhinestone Cowboy”, “Wichita Lineman” and “By The Time I Get To Phoenix”. It also
contains hard to find cuts like 1965's “Guess I'm Dumb” with Beach Boy Brian Wilson
and Buffy Sainte-Marie’s Universal Soldier.
20 Golden Greats
Big, lantern-jawed Glen Campbell, erstwhile session guitarist and fill-in Beach Boy,
had an image problem for years: staple of Seventies Radio 2 and the dream of the
everyday housewife. More recently, his best recordings have again been appreciated
for their majesty and massive emotional power. 20 Golden Greats is as comprehensive
a hits compilation as one could hope for, covering the mid-Sixties to the mid-Seventies
and missing little of worth, and to listen and not be affected would require arthritis
of the soul. "Rhinestone Cowboy" is pretty cool, if a little camp, but the really
great Glen Campbell tracks are invariably Jimmy Webb's songs: Campbell's rich, sensitive
tenor and the low boom-and-twang of his guitar dovetail perfectly with Webb's stately
songs of torment and regret, haloed with those luscious country strings. The combination
yielded the best and best-remembered hits: "Galveston", "By The Time I Get To Phoenix",
"Where's The Playground, Suzie?" and the timelessly moving "Wichita Lineman"; schmaltzy,
nostalgic, quietly profound and one of the great American songs of the century. --Taylor

BOOK
Glen Travis Campbell is a Grammy and Dove Award-winning and two time Golden Globe-nominated
American country pop singer, guitarist and occasional actor. He is best known for
a series of hits in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as for hosting a television variety
show called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on CBS television. Campbell's hits include
John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind", Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"
and "Wichita Lineman", Allen Toussaint's "Southern Nights" and Larry Weiss's "Rhinestone
Cowboy". Campbell made history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories
in 1967: "Gentle on My Mind" snatched the country honors, and "By the Time I Get
to Phoenix" won in pop. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both
the CMA and the ACM, and took the CMA's top honor as Entertainer of the Year.
