Yes that Glen Campbell. On his comeback album, the sixties and seventies country crossover giant offers his takes on the songs of modern artists like Tom Petty, The Replacements, and U2. This is what a great Glen Campbell album is actually supposed to sound like in 2008. It's damn fine listening

INSTA-REVIEW: Meet Glen Campbell
Phawker (Free subscription) | 08/19/2008
