Customer Reviews

A truely gifted singer and songwriter.
Glen Campbell has had some of the best songs written and sung in the last 40 years. From the great classic's of "Wichita Lineman" and "Gentle on My Mind" to "True Grit", his voice is fantastic and you can here the emotion of which he sings. These are songs of Glen in his early years up to the late 1970's with his more pop oriented songs that did very well on cross-over radio stations. Glen is a very gifted guitar player and I remember listening to my Dad's album of Glen Campbell when I was a kid. It is nice to rediscover the songs of the great Glen Campbell. Even Michael Stipe of R.E.M. said that the song "Wichita Lineman" "has to be the greatest song of the last 50 years". I almost have to agree with Michael Stipe. This collection is Highly Recommended!

All the essential hits and much more
Glen's success was truly international, so there has been a steady stream of compilations of his music down the years in Britain, America and elsewhere. Most British compilations consist of some of his big hits and a selection of cover versions of famous songs. This one is different, as it contains a much higher proportion of original material. There are a few covers here, but they are included because they were big hits for Glen, or milestones in his career, or have otherwise become identified with him.

All Glen's UK hits are included, together with any other songs that were important in his career. Among the classic songs to be found here are Gentle on my mind, By the time I get to Phoenix, Dreams of the everyday housewife, Wichita lineman, Reason to believe, Galveston, Where's the playground Susie, Try a little kindness, All I have to do is dream (with Bobbie Gentry), Honey come back, It's only make believe, Rhinestone cowboy, Country boy you got your feet in LA, Southern nights and Sunflower.

Buffy Sainte-Marie wrote Universal Soldier, which became a UK hit for Donovan but provided Glen with his first American top 50 hit. Brian Wilson of the Beach boys wrote Guess I'm dumb, on which Glen was backed by the Honeys, an excellent female trio. True grit was the theme from the movie starring John Wayne, in which Glen also appeared. This is Sarah's song is a great way to end an outstanding compilation.

If you just want the obvious big hits, a single CD will probably be all you need, but for those who want to explore further, this compilation provides that opportunity. Students of American pop and country charts will find plenty of songs in those charts that are not featured here but every track here deserves its place here and there are no serious omissions from a British perspective. As such, this is as good a Glen Campbell collection as you are likely to find anywhere.
