For anyone who’s not familiar with Glen Campbell, he’s a country singer, whose rather old-school. He’s got the definitive version of several just classic American songs, such as “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” plus “Wichita Lineman”. In fact, he’s earned over 20 Top 10 singles in the span of his career. I saw this today, clicked on it out of curiosity, plus am so glad I am. In the middle of a first listen, and to be honest, it’s brilliant so far and barring a total mess of the last few tracks, might just be my favorite album of the year so far. It’s a cover album, with him making several artist’s songs his own, such as Green Day, Foo Fighters, U2, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Velvet Underground, the Replacements, plus more. It is a country album by definition, but in a way very few artists can, with this album he penetrates genre barriers plus has made, IMO, the best country-related album since Johnny Cash’s American IV. Perhaps the best thing is, thanks to this advance from FM, we’re getting it over a month early.
