I have always loved this CD
To me, this is another artist like Neill Young who stands the test of time. I love this album so much...and even so much more that my mother also loves it. And she is so precious to me. |

Wichita lineman is just one of the greatest songs written in the last century in my opinion.
So simple and yet so beautifull. |

Campbell was helped by the fact that he had Jimmy Webb as a songwriter, the aforementioned 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Galveston' are both brilliant and written by him.
Not sure if he had a hand in 'Rhinestone Cowboy' though......... |

You can't beat a bit of country
Funnily enough I was listening to Glen Campbell's Twenty Golden Greats this week.
A fine artist. 'Wichita Lineman' is a great song, as is By The Time I Get To Phoenix. Timeless. (two Jimmy Webb songs.) I've been trying to track down for ages a GC album that has those two, and 'This Time' and 'If I Were A Carpenter' on it; the album having a particular significance to me... he sighs! Good call! I think there is a lot of very decent songs in what you might call country or easy listening. Well written, well sung, good stories... "By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising..." |

'Galveston', 'All I Have To Do Is Dream' and 'Everybody's Talking' are all sensational, classic country tunes.
Glen Campbell certainly is a country legend - and lest I forget, 'Rhinestone Cowboy' of course! |

Where's The Playground, Susie?, Wichita Lineman and Rhinestone Cowboy are all on my IPod, and all released before I was born.
A sign of a great artist to have songs appealing to future generations. |
