1968 Grammy Album Of the Year!
Includes Grammy Winning Single "By the Time I Get To Phoenix"


By the Time I Get To Phoenix proved to be Campbell's breakthrough release in 1967. "By the Time I Get To Phoenix" won the 1968 Grammy for Album Of the Year, the first country album to do so. In 1967, the single, "By the Time I Get To Phoenix" won two Grammy's in the categories Best Vocal Performance, Male and Best Contemporary Male Solo Vocal Performance. In 2004, "By the Time I Get To Phoenix" was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

"Glen Campbell's commercial breakthrough came by way of the title track, which was the direct precursor in production terms to "Wichita Lineman," and by the same writer. The cover of Paul Simon's "Homeward Bound" is sincere if a little perfunctory, but Campbell's rendition of Ernest Tubb's "Tomorrow Never Comes" is a bravura performance, rich and soulful, as well as recalling Rodgers & Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk Alone" as done by Gerry & the Pacemakers. "Cold December in Your Heart" harks back to Campbell's country-folk material, a piece of midtempo country-pop. Material like that and the similar "Back in the Race," Dorsey Burnette's "Hey Little One," Jerry Reed's "You're Young and You'll Forget," and Bill Anderson's "Bad Seed" hold up better than more pop-focused numbers like "My Baby's Gone," though the string backings on most of these very much date them. The final number here, the touching "Love Is a Lonesome River," makes a brilliant coda." - Bruce Eder, allmusic.com
