Those seeking an introduction to the "Rhinestone Cowboy" would be better served with the more-focused (and less-expensive) Very Best of Glen Campbell or perhaps the two-disc Glen Campbell Collection. This collection does include Campbell's biggest and brightest, but often wanders off course to include covers, live takes, and instrumentals. Not that these make for bad listening--they're simply not essential hits, as this set's title would have you believe. On the other hand, this package has the improved sound quality and offers a sense of the man's versatility. Options, options. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews

Wish that the CD was all song
"I was pleased with the CD, I remember the songs from my past. The sound came across with excellent sounding quality. I was a little disappointed that there were three instrumentals, I would have of enjoyed hearing the words. The two recorded live tracks, took away some of the enjoyment, if I wanted to hear live music I would of bought a concert CD. Otherwise it was a great buy."

Glen Hits the Mark...
The Glen Campbell 20 Greatest Hits album was the perfect gift for my wife. She has wanted his Wichita Lineman song and such for years and we found the right deal at the right time.

I liked this album!
Glen Campbell (b. 1936) was an ever-present part of the late 60s/70s music scene with such hits as Gentle On My Mind, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, and (of course) Rhinestone Cowboy. And then, came the substance abuse, and it all just fell apart. In 2000, this album was cut, combining various great tunes from along Mr. Campbell's career.

Now, as the album includes such as Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay and He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, you can tell that this is not really a collection of his top selling songs. Instead, this album gives a good cross-section of great Glen Campbell tunes, showing off the range of his performances. Overall, I liked this album, especially the old hits of Southern Nights, Rhinestone Cowboy, and Galveston. So, if you are a fan of that great 70s country and rock, then you will like this album. I know I did!
