I Guess I'm Dumb, But I Don't Care
Glen Campbell always gets labelled, unfairly in my opinon, as just another Country and Western singer. He's far more than that, he's a talented vocalist and musician.
All the tracks you'd expect are on here, "Rhinestone", "Galveston", "Gentle On My Mind", etc, but there are also somehidden gems that the casual listener may have missed in the past. The best example of this is the inclusion of the superb "Guess I'm Dumb", a song penned by non other than Brian Wilson. This single was obviously some sort of blueprint for the classic "Pet Sounds" album as this track sung by Brian or Carl Wilson wouldn't have sounded out of place next to "Caroline, No", etc.
Another great example of a hidden gem is the follow-up single to ""Rhinestone Cowboy", the marvellous "Country Boy", a lively, up-tempo singalong anthem. Really stirring stuff, that one.
My personal favourites though are a trio of Jim Webb penned classics; "Dreams of an Everyday Housewife", "By the Time I get to Phoenix" and the beautiful "Wichita Lineman". Truly wonderful.
Thanks Glen.
All the best ones and no filler!!
What can you say? One of the all time best cross over artists on both sides of the atlantic with all of his greatest hits re-mastered on one album. All the tracks any 'muso' should have in their collection. At just £3 for the download it was as if I'd been given a present rather than making a purchase. Buy it now while Amazon appear to be 'giving' it away!!!
the real deal
Yes, another greatest hits album, but what the hell, this album contains every decent track he has ever recorded. Does not contain any of the usual 'stocking filler' tracks. I liked at least twenty of the tracks on this, enough said.
