Saw him in Spokane, even though his health was becoming a hindrance he still had his chops.

Bob Dylan once claimed Wichita Lineman was the greatest song ever written. And for me, today, it is one of my top 5 in music history.
And yes, better times.

A great song, and a singer who was said to have perfect pitch, never missed a note.

Still love Glenn. Pretty much everything he did. He was also a session musician extraordinaire.

I didn't know about Dylan, but Billy Joel said that as well. In fact, Joel said "Stop in Nevada" was his attempt to try to capture the same spirit as Wichita Lineman.

Reminds me of my high school days. When singles were on 78’s.
Sounded even better back in the 70's when transmitting from a distant AM station late at night. Great memories of driving across great vastness of dark road illuminated by sealed beam headlights with this song crackling on the radio. Good times.

Not everyone gets the same version of me. One person might tell you I'm an amazing beautiful soul. Another person will say I'm a cold-hearted asshole. Believe them both. I act accordingly......

Yep. Great song. And Jimmy Webb, master songwriter. Check out his book, Tunesmith.

Glen Campbell was also a gifted guitarist. Always liked him.

When I think of Glen Campbell I think of Rhinestone Cowboy on the AM radio.

My mom got that album after it was released. She played it often and I enjoyed listening. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
