Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Bought it the same night I bought The Smile Sessions. Very pleased with both albums.

"Hold On Hope" may be a cover, but...
1 - that's a man in his mid-seventies singing that. Just mindblowing.
2 - given his then-recent diagnosis, the lyric is close to unlistenable, but Glen turns it into a near-affirmatyion of survival.
The whole album is outstanding, but that track is just incredible any way you slice it.

The entire album is mindblowing. Despite his age and sad diagnosis, Glen's voice and musical abilities are seemingly unfazed.
I also couldn't help but notice the participation of Roger Manning Jr. of Jellyfish fame contributing keyboards and vocals on the album. Maybe it's a coincidence that the songs flow from one to the other with brief musical interludes (some sounding very Jellyfish-like). Near the end there is even a beautifully haunting BB-like falsetto wordless vocal interlude. It reminds a bit of SMiLE in that regard.
Like AGD said, the whole album is outstanding.

Agreed. Very good album, a few notches better than 2008's
Meet Glen Campbell
, which consisted of Glen singing some nice covers. Would you guys agree it is a better Glen Campbell album than
God/Radio
is a Beach Boys' album? I think so.

Maybe. I can't think of anything that would make Glen's album better; the Beach Boys without the voice of Carl Wilson was always going to be somewhat lacking.
