Glen Travis Campbell was born on April 22, 1936 on a farm between Billstown and Delight, Arkansas. He received his first guitar at the age of 4 and was performing on local radio stations by the time he was 6. He quit school at the age of 14 and went to Albuquerque, where his father's toon meer brother-in-law, Dick Bills, had a band and was appearing on both radio and television. At the age of 22, he moved to Los Angeles and 1960 got a job playing with the rock 'n' roll group the Champs. He worked as a session musician for six years. He was a touring member of the Beach Boys from 1964-1965. He started recording his own music in the 1960s. His hit songs included Wichita Lineman, Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, and Southern Nights. His albums included Meet Glen Campbell, Ghost on the Canvas, See You There, and Adiós. He received four Grammy Awards in 1968. From 1969 to 1972 he had his own weekly television show, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. In 2005, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He appeared in several movies including True Grit and Norwood. His autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy, was published in 1994. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2011. His last performance was on November 30, 2012. His farewell tour and the way he and his family dealt with the progress of his disease were chronicled in a 2014 documentary entitled Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me.

This is a bittersweet collection, appearing not long after Glen Campbell's diagnosis of having Alzheimer's. You can hear that Glen's voice is aging, but it is still smooth and haunting. My favorites include Hey Little One, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, and Rhinestone Cowboy.

Waiting on the Comin' of My Lord (both versions) bears a special poignancy now.

If you are a Glen Campbell fan, then you should definitely add this to your collection. If you enjoy country music, I think you will enjoy it.… (meer)

This is Glen Campbell at the height of his popularity and voice. While this is country music, it easily crossed over into pop music radio stations back in the day.

Most of the songs were timed to play on the radio so they run in the 2-3 minute range with the more recent ones lasting a little longer (The Last Time I Saw Her is 4:07 and the longest in the compilation.)

There are so many hits on this collection; it is hard to choose my favorites. Mary in the Morning, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, Gotta Have Tenderness, and Rhinestone Cowboy are the ones I would choose. Along with the hits there are other good songs I was less familiar with. I had heard Donovan's version of Universal Soldier, but had somehow missed Glen Campbell's. I really enjoyed the chance to hear these other songs.

If you like Glen Campbell, you should probably add this to your collection. It is one I am glad I have.
