OKAY, you trendy-dos, laugh it up but I defy anyone with a listening heart not to feel it melt when Wichita Lineman is in the air.
Anyway, Meet Glen Campbell finds the veteran country man turning his attention to the ragged world of rock 'n' roll as his career shuffles into its fifth decade. But not for him the dry and dusty route that producer Rick Rubin visited upon the likes of Johnny Cash (brilliantly) and Neil Diamond (not so brilliantly), Campbell prefers to let the song stand in the glossy C&W settings that have served him so well.
Thus, strings swell as the likes of Lennon's Grow Old With Me, Travis' Sing, the Velvets' Jesus and Foo Fighters' Times Like These are brought to heel by Campbell's rich vocal authority.
