What a room full of legends...and yet they knew what they were watching.
Couldn't one also interpret those lines as meaning: "I want to stay with you - not merely because of the duties and obligations imposed by the marriage license. My love for you transcends that."?
Regards,
Glen never meant for the original to be released, not in the form it was anyway. He’d heard John Hartford’s original and wanted to pitch his record company on him doing it. So he rounded up some fellow members of the Wrecking Crew and cut a demo in about 20 minutes and gave it to the A&R man to listen to. The record company liked it so much, they removed the band members talking during the recording and released it without telling Glen.
I’ve seen video of him 20 years later saying that was just a rough cut and he didn’t think his vocals, in particular, were very good.
I didn’t know til not that long ago just how much a hand Campbell had in so much of what we consider classic rock or pop from the 60’s.
He really is one of the geniuses of our time, and I would never have thought that.
He was high pitched voice: Hi, I’m Glen Campbell.
The one crying’ to her mother is not the one he left in the first stanza. I read it to be one of a string of women he’s known to whom he cannot build any lasting attachment for, unlike the one he remembers in every verse.
No, that's "Some other woman cryin' to her mother 'cuz she turned and I was gone."
Great story, Groo. I didn’t know that. The version you grow up on is always the one you remember as being the “true” version. Hard to believe that was a “rough cut.”
Check tomorrow.
Here's a good time with Steve Lukather (another great guitarist). He asks Glen what Beach Boys songs he played on and Glen answers "all of them".
They play "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", which is great stuff.
Bookmark for later :)
The ‘60s counterculture was engineered.
New world order trivia...
Did you know that Jim Morrison’s (of The Doors) father was (future) Rear Admiral George Stephen Morrison, who was in command of the carrier division at the Gulf of Tonkin incident ?

Wow! Now that’s MUSIC!
My old man really liked Glen.
Looks like he was right.
I’ll have to give him another look!
Always disappointing when you realize just how far the socialist messages perpetrated our cultures music, TV, and movies. And we happily sing along wondering why so many “bad” things are happening all around us.
What do you think of Lindsey Buckingham?
Great session! Thanks for posting.
Who was the woman in the video?
Being an 80s kid my tastes run to Metal but I am very familiar with the Nashville/country greats. One of my favorite things was some of the interviews with some of the then current 80s shredder types in guitar mags. There were more than a couple that talked about going to Nashville for one reason or another and leaving schooled and ready to give up playing because of guys like Atkins and Campbell. Seems they discovered that they weren’t the Gods they thought they were and had their strings handed to them. ;)
