Fretish Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Lost another great one I learned Rhinestone Cowboy just a few months ago. It really brought me back to my youth. I used to love watching Glen and Jerry Reed play Guitar Man. They seemed to be having so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojoworking Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 And for the guitar fans here's Glen playing a Fender Bass VI in fiesta red on perhaps his greatest song Wichita Lineman. From the Smothers Brothers Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 He was the reason I bought a 12 string. He had two albums (vol.1 and 2) of traditional music like "Cottonfields", "Greenback Dollar", "Freight Train", and of course, "Wildwood Flower". What I didn't realize at the time - he was only 10 years older than I. I believe he was a studio musician at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mking Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I saw him back in 2003 or so in Norfolk with the Virginia Symphony. Magical, magical, magical. RIP Glen and thanks for the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingturtle Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Rest in peace Mr. Campbell. I can remember seeing him on the t.v. when I was a child. I remember a lot of variety shows on the the big three networks and he would be on as the mc or a performer. That guy wore some big lapels. I never connected with him but I do have some fond, distant memories of him like singing Rhinestone Cowboy in the car with the radio on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drathbun Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If you have Netflix, take the time to watch James Keach's film "I'll Be Me" about Glen's last album and tour and struggles with Alzheimers. I agree with Alice Cooper's comments today that Glen was one of the five finest guitarists ever (he said that Eddy Van Halen wanted guitar lessons from Campbell). Watching the film, it shows how deep music is engrained on your mind. He couldn't find the bathroom in his own home but could still play the guitar like a virtuoso. Amazing talent - extraordinary voice. Springstein mentioned that Campbell had a purity of tone and simplicity of delivery with little embellishment but a depth of emotion. Here is an excerpt of the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn19PyYeop0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livemusic Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 What an incredible talent. Sad to know he is gone but he definitely lived big and had a full life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm on a bit of a Glen Campbell kick this week. This video of Glen singing the great Roy Orbison hit "Crying" is wonderful. He is surrounded by some of the great talents of the country scene like Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Willy Nelson, Crystal Gayle, BJ Thomas, Lynn Anderson, and Waylon Jennings who are obviously in awe over his flawless rendition of one of the most challenging vocals ever. He nails it. Just look at the faces on Gayle and Anderson. Outstanding talent and performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYyd42O5jbg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
