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. Title: Re: Have you heard Glen Campbell's Ghost on the Canvas? Post by: Gregg on April 05, 2014, 07:09:58 PM 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.

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.

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. |
