Title: Glen Campbell - The Most Famous Musician People Should Get to Know Better
Review: Check Out Glen Campbell (and Karen Carpenter, Sammy Davis Jr.)There are some relatively famous people who, nonetheless, are not on the short list for young musicians to check out. Sure we know to check out people like Les Paul, who literally changed the nature of recording but there are others whose skill was extremely high, but who for one reason or another, do not wind up on the "radar" of young musicians wanting to listen to the greats of the past.Glen Campbell:My trombone teacher was a studio freelance musician in Hollywood during the time where the "Wrecking Crew" was operating. As he went from session to session he remarked that he saw Glen Campbell on a huge number of recording sessions. He was struck with that being remarkable, and noted the guy really could play wonderfully. Later, as the years went by, Campbell became a world wide phenomenon with hit recordings featuring his singing, and even a TV show featuring him in all sorts of musical situations. What did not truly get out fully to the public, was how gifted Glen Campbell was both as a singer and as a guitarist. His hit recordings and TV show appearances rarely offered an opportunity to show off his top flight guitar technical ability, and instead featured his excellent singing typically in a large orchestra "pop" setting. Campbell, like Carpenters vocalist Karen Carpenter, had almost astounding sense of pitch, rarely scooping into notes, but simply singing straight into the next pitch, with high accuracy.Luckily we can find on online video outlets various live events where Campbell got a chance to stretch out and really wail on Guitar. To be like this, and yet also be a good singer is quite and accomplishment. I think perhaps Steve Lukather comes to mind as a bit like this - really amazing both in guitar playing and as a singer (Lukather was the guy who pointed me to Sammy Davis Jr. saying: "You should check out this guy's singing"). The short list of "Pop" people the young should check out are: Sammy Davis Jr., Glen Campbell, Karen Carpenter. These recordings all were made before any sort of pitch correction was even available.Ultimately because these people were in "pop" music, they get pigeon holed into less glory, but actually their skill levels were incredible, and thus, a listen to their famous hits is worth doing, just to get an idea of the skill I'm talking about. Also, some of these tunes wind up as epic chart topper and notable songwriting works - "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Wichita Lineman" are amazing songwriting accomplishments. When they were on radio airplay, they were omnipresent.

Title: Great Collection of Glen Campbell's hits. Quality recordings.
Review: Seldom do I listen to each entire song on a new CD. I listened to the entire CD and then replayed several songs.

Title: Wonderful walk down Memory Lane
Review: The songs on this CD are good quality, something that doesn't always happen when oldies are re-issued. They had me singing along as I remembered the first time I heard 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix', crying with memories of friends and feelings from the Viet Nam era evoked by 'Galveston', dancing with 'Rhinestone Cowboy' and saying a prayer for all those who helped restore power after hurricane Beryl as he sang 'Wichita Lineman.' Hearing these all together gave me an appreciation not only for his voice but also for what an incredibly talented musician Glenn Campbell was.
