Gentle On My Mind/I Wanna Live/Wichita Lineman/Try A Little Kindness/Honey Come Back/By The Time I Get To Phoenix/Galveston/Where's The Playground Sussie/Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife/Burning Bridges
This first Glen Campbell compilation album brings together several of the most memorable Jimmy Webb songs. Worth a special mention is the excellent country hit Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife. (US:39 UK:8)
“Five top shelf Jimmy Webb tunes, with the best of the rest highlighted by John Hartford's Gentle On My Mind and the period piece Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife. Early Glen Campbell, when he was at the top of his game.”
“Glen Campbell was a country-pop icon of sorts. His hit records of the sixties and seventies were AM radio top 40 staples that received tremendous airplay. His collaborations with Jimmy Webb are songs that have given the youth of that generation memories that will last a lifetime.”
“Glen handles these songs with panache and he never skips a beat. The music is perfect for the lyrics and these are memorable songs to say the least.”
“Who doesn't love Glen Campbell. His music is timeless. I have many good memories of listening to his hits on the radio back when he was at the top of the music game.”
“Campbell's best hits still ring true after many years and will transport you back in time to the carefree days of the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.”
“Glen Campbell can always please his loyal fans; and there's no doubt as to why when you listen to this album full of great, timeless music by this icon. Glen is in excellent form throughout and every tune's a winner.”
“Not only did Campbell sell millions of singles but he also recorded a number of highly successful albums to boot. With Greatest Hits enjoy once again such favourites as Wichita Lineman and Galveston. I am also partial to some of his lesser known hits like Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife, Honey Come Back and most especially the highly uplifting Try A Little Kindness.”
“I am not a fan of country music, but there are some artists that transcend music genres, simply because they just make great music and their voices flow so smoothly. Glen Campbell is one of those artists.”
