Out of Arkansas poverty..... just like Johnny Cash.

As a picker, I think he was unequalled. But like so many others, he was not immune to the pleasures of Babylon.

Turn Around, Look at Me (1961)

In 2024, this ghostly quality is real. The new album Glen Campbell Duets: Ghost On The Canvas Sessions sees a man who has been dead for knocking on eight years now joined by a bevy of notables on a spirited reimagining of his final studio album,

I'm sorry, but this whole posthumous duet thing is creepy. Especially when they had Natalie Cole "dueting" Unforgettable with her late father.

Without a doubt, Glen Campbell was one of the greatest vocalists, songwriters and especially guitarists of all time.

The way he could pick that guitar was amazing to see and to listen to.

“He [Glen Campbell] never learned to read music, but besides guitar, he could play the banjo, mandolin and bass.”

Wichita Lineman.

I still remember the first time I heard it, when he sang it on his show. It’s just gorgeous.

Wow. Ian Winwood needs some intruction in how to NOT write run-on sentences. Four and five commas per sentence is a bit much.

I lost my first girlfriend who thought he hung the moon.

When I criticized his acting in TRUE GRIT she dropped me like a hot rock.
Still can’t stand to watch that movie simply because of him. You would think our modern AI geniuses cannot edit him out and edit in some one else who can act.
