Titled Glen Campbell Duets - Ghost on the Canvas Sessions, the full-length is a track-for-track reworking of his album Ghost on the Canvas, only this time around, Campbell has plenty of famous friends joining him–posthumously, that is. Campbell’s vocals remain the same, but now each track is a collaboration, and the order in which the songs appear on the record has been changed to make this feel both familiar and fresh at the same time.
The new collaborative album includes duets with Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame, Carole King, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Sting, Daryl Hall, and Dolly Parton, among others. Glen Campbell Duets - Ghost on the Canvas Sessions is scheduled to be released on April 19.
Tracklisting:
"There’s No Me… Without You" (with Carole King)
"Ghost On The Canvas" (with Sting)
"Hold On Hope" (with Eric Church)
"The Long Walk Home" (with Hope Sandoval)
"Nothing But The Whole Wide World" (with Eric Clapton)
"In My Arms" (with Brian Setzer)
"A Better Place" (with Dolly Parton)
"Strong" (with Brian Wilson)
"A Thousand Lifetimes" (with Linda Perry)
"It’s Your Amazing Grace" (with Daryl Hall & Dave Stewart)
"Any Trouble" (with X)
"I’m Not Gonna Miss You" (with Elton John)
Clapton and Glen would have made a pretty good guitar team back in the day.
Wow! Thanks for posting. What a cool project!
I was a yuge fan of Clapton and saw about 6 or the first historic Cream concerts.
I’m glad he and Van Morrison made speeches denouncing the Covid jabs and lockdowns.
BUT.....
Recently Clapton took the side of the PLO and Hamas about the collateral killings when Hamas used people as human shields and hid in hospitals, causing the retribution from the Israelis after losing thousands of noncombatants October 7th and as hostages to hunt down Hamas to secure the Israeli borders.
No mention of such things as a Hamas home invader struggling to sever the head of a woman with a shovel, striking her neck again and again in front of her children. And the gang rape and torture of women by Hamas. Slipped his mind.
I look forward to hearing a lot of these songs, but mostly In My Arms w/ Brian Setzer - Dick Dale played a lot of the guitar on that song - w/ Glen. To hear Setzer sing to Dick Dale will be something different.
My goodness, Glen was an amazing talent. As much as I admire the playing of Les Paul, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Strings, and Mateo Mancuso, there’s still a great argument for Glen as the GOAT.
I miss Glen Campbell, he had such a sad exit. Life is often not kind.
All great, but don’t forget Roy Clark
Or Jerry Reed.
Roy is an all-time great on more than just guitar. Hee Haw was the best music and comedy show ever.
He played studio guitar on many great albums. He was the only act I ever saw in Las Vegas.
I will see this later. Can’t wait.
According to Alice Cooper, Eddie VH wanted guitar lessons from Glen. Alice and Glen were pretty tight golfing buddies.
I am jealous of that one! Glen was the sort of performer to stay between the lines in the studio but let it all hang out live.
The Alice Cooper interview after Glen’s death is very much worth watching.
Roy was great. Also remember his big note guitar lesson book.
He spent a day with Stone Temple Pilots and totally made his greatest hit better (Wichita Lineman) with them. While fighting the dementia. That was a man.
Thanks for these videos. I got to know Glens music when I was a kid. During my parents’ turbulent relationship (which ended in divorce) my dad took off on one of his disappearing acts and headed out to the desert (in Arizona, of course). So, naturally years later whenever “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” came on the radio, mom would stop what she was doing and start singing along with Glen.
Or Tony Rice and before him Clarence White. And still alive is the great John Carlini who expanded Tony into jazz-grass.
My parents were entertainers who left me with other families for years at a time. Despite inevitable bad feelings about that I kept a love for them while not accepting the foster’s offerings of adoption. Which was regarded as ingratitude and eventual destruction of that relationship.
I mention only to show no matter what we rise to the better despite obstacles and unfortunate circumstances. Memory snippets of my own parents, faulty as they were, still serve as a grounding that everyone needs to start from. Example: I recalled, from a Free Republic post, that my father once took a job refinishing and painting a carousel’s horses (a true Renaissance man of talents), and that I learned painting techniques helping him at six years old.
Time has dissolved the harsh emotions and eventually let me see the positive aspects, with a better understanding of their circumstances. It defies my favorite tag line below.
