Take a relaxing trip back to 60's & 70's with Glen and the sound of clean guitars, mandolins and the "folk sound" we grew up on. This special vinyl release features 10 Campbell arrangements of classic cover songs from some of your favorite artists; U2, Tom Petty, John Lennon, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Velvet Underground, Jackson Browne & The Replacements, PLUS a bonus classic Glen Campbell track "Galveston".
Released over 40 years after his debut record, also for Capitol Records, Meet Glen Campbell is certainly not a formal introduction for a musician who admittedly needs none. A curiously misleading title, Meet Glen Campbell is perhaps a way for Campbell to introduce himself to a younger audience.
If first impressions are everything with introductions, then Campbell has made one lasting impression with the selections chosen for this triumphant return. In an audacious move, Campbell has abandoned the professional songwriters he relied upon in the '80s and '90s and has turned instead to covering rock artists. With a roster ranging from U2 to the Foo Fighters, this could easily have proven disastrous. But producers Julian Raymond and Howard Willing are able to evoke the mellow glow of the '60s and '70s, and any element of irony is all but left behind.
Meet Glen Campbell showcases the singer at his interpretive best. His renditions of rock classics new and old (and a few somewhere in between) reveal a deep understanding of what makes a great pop recording. It is this maturity that elevates these songs to new heights and ensures that Meet Glen Campbell will be a memorable record alongside his most cherished works.
This limited edition vinyl release marks Glen Campbell's return to his longtime label home Capitol Records. This special vinyl release features the 10 Campbell arrangements of cover songs on the original album PLUS a bonus classic Glen Campbell track "Galveston".
