Non so quanto sia corretto il mio inglese, ma questo pezzo, eseguito da lui lo è davvero. Conoscevo la versione di Fred Bongusto -scusate la citazione tamarra- ma qui siamo in un altro universo.
Glenn didn't write any of his hit songs. Jimmy Webb wrote most of them and John Hartford wrote this one. Glenn was a great performer and singer, but not a songwriter. Even his Wiki omits "songwriter". Credit where credit is due. But may God bless him on his journey with Alzheimer's. Terrible disease.
What ever happened to the days of the singer-songwriter? We have lost some great talent over the years and the guys that are the stars today can't hold a candle to guys like Campbell and others. This is a great song (lyrics and notes). I think that is what is seriously missing today. We have no great songwriters who can write lyrics.

This is a great performance. The song is awesome, it is more upbeat than earlier versions of his live performances, he still has a good voice here and of course he makes that acoustic guitar sing like few others could. Just an awesome performance.
No matter what this guy is a tibute to country music, I wish and hope he is going to play in MInnesota. I may only be 43 but I loved old country music. Im going to miss him dearly
For all those Glenn Cambell fans out there. For this man who is in a deadly fight with Alzheimer's, May he always be gentle on our minds. He has given us a life time of beautiful music. Let us thank him for it.
I was honoured to see Glen on his 'Goodbye' tour when he played in Edinburgh. This man introduced me to music (at age 8 I was allowed to play my parent's LP's but only on a Friday night ) - I played Glen over and over again. The first thirty minutes of his concert last week were a blur as I tried to get rid of the tears that are welling up again as I type. It was a great show and boy his kids did him proud!!
Just saw Glen perform in Biloxi Miss. last week July 15 th. He had 4 family members and 7 total band menbers. At 72 years of age he and the band was 1 1/2 hours of straight AWSOME.Really and enjoyable night and had an excellent time. He did the Deiverance movie duo on electric guitar with his gorgeous multi talented daughter Ashley on banjo. Totally freaken great!! To Doodle 100A above. I hope you find your purpose in lifr other than being a complete ASS!! Glen. Keep on keepin on brother!
Glen Campell was the only Country Singer who could really, I mean really play the guitar. So many others knew just 3 or 4 chords. Glen was a real guitarist.
i've listen to Glen Campbell since the good time hour i was 13yo,,i have all he's 33lps and still admire Mr.Campbell he is one of the pure's singers i've ever heard not to mention his guitar and bagpipes he does so well ,,i'm 54yo and i still think he is surely the best singer and when it comes to looks wow for yu Glen..Mary Beth Griffin the lifesaver
Please excuse my language but 'fuck me' if this guy is not one of the premier singers/ guitarist/ entertainers that has ever stood on a stage I'll eat someones stetson. Just him, his guitar, real backing musicians and a truck load of talent. Some of the current so called stars should hang their heads.
Observe, this is a first call + musician! Had some friends that jammed w/him at a party, they left shaking their heads. He is the real deal. And he can sing very well. Best of luck GC.
Just heard Glen's sick and he wanted everyone to know in case he falters on stage. Glen, I hope I get to see you soon, and if you falter, you're still better than 99% of all the pickers out there.
This was the theme song for his variety show The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour", I remember crying when they change the time to 9:00, it was past my bed time.
Glen Campbell you always were and still are an absolutely amazing singer and guitar player. Thanks to youtube and specifically to the person who posted this video, we can go back and view performances like this that we somehow missed the first time around.
Absolutely brilliant, GC was and still is one of my favourite artists of all time. What a career. Thanks for a truly remarkable post, that solo effort alone is worth crashing this computers harddrive watching it again and again.
I believe that Glen also played lead on the Byrds' studio rendition of the Dylan classic, "Mr. Tambourine Man". A highly regarded and much sought after session player in the 60's, his "good time hour" is fondly remembered as one of one the great, hour long, variety shows of its day.
Wow. Even better than the LP original. Great solo & song. Like the bluegrass banjo effect. As I recall he always played Ovation guitars. What a great performer & artist. Can a life get any fuller? Play with the Beach Boys in their early years, then go on & make a fantastic career on your own?! Out of the same cloth as Kenny Rogers & Roger Miller I suspect. What a great country music era. Was this written by Jimmy Webb or John Hartford? I know they wrote a lot of Glen's material.
this man...this man was so talented. he never wore a ballcap 3/4 tilted to the side; he never had his pants halfway down the crack of his butt... he wrote songs that made truckrivers'n'carpenters weep, as they thought about that lovely little thing back home... where's glen now?
When he was just starting to be famous I was learning guitar, and trying to learn those licks.. couldn't do it ! Now 40 years later, he's retired and I'm still trying to learn them , but I'm a whole lot closer to doing it now!! LOL, Yup this guy was great!!
Before public fame, he was with The Champs, also featuring Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts (on drums, pre mandolin). The band had a variety of folks in it over time, but those three achieved the most public fame later. I think the only song most people remember them for is"Tequila."
@scottpduncan You are propably already aware of it, but Glenn Campbell was a noted studiomusician before his singing career really took off. He played e.g on Beach Boys' records and was on the sessions for Pet Sounds. He did a record The Astounding 12 strings (if my memory serves me) in 60's. Also he was a tour member in Beach Boys after Brian Wilson quit touring.
Glen campbell wot can ya say , the guys brilliant check out at around 1.50mins when he cracks a smile after that rift ......he knew he had smashed it fabulous artist .
Great solo. Agree with the majority of the positive comments. If y'all think this was great, find a video of Glen playing the William Tell Overture on his 12 string. Then talk to me about great players!! Well done...
I have to say that I think if he wanted to, Glen could keep up with the likes of ingwie Malmsteen if he practiced on that kind of music. The guy is that good!
This is one great tune for any musician to play. Glen is underated. It is too bad he didn't do more of this kind of music. He is very talented to say the least! The dude is very good!!!!!!!!!
He sure is a great picker - guitars and women. I believe he recorded this one before the first of four...marriages that is...I believe he's less fiddle with with guitars.
@timlachance - your father no doubt a fine player. steel players a vanishing breed. Glen awesome - I fear the band blacked out for reason, not a live studio backing band. check out the lack of motion, kick drum pedal doing something ? fiddle player makes a slight adjustment ? banjo evident, harmonica guy in ten gallon hat. same guys ran a tape in studio and brought it to the TV set - only Glen was live

Toward the end of his solo he was hitting a couple of pick-harmonics that would have sounded like Eddie Van Halen at his best if this was an electric guitar (with gadgets).
Glen was a sessions guitar player for many years before he hit it big in the 1960's. He had played in Elvis Presley's band and also played in the Beach Boys Band. before he went out on his own! Many consider him one of the 5 best guitar players in the world. He is still great!
What the......was that Glen Campbell shredding on the guitar or was I just seeing things? Eric Clapton has got nothing on this guy. I need to get on the internet and see where Glen rates on the 'great guitar players of all time' list. Holy shit, no wonder Glen worked as a 'hired gun' and 'studio rat' for a number of years in the music industry. No wonder Tanya Tucker liked him.....IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS GUITAR PLAYING ABILITIES!
Hi, i am David Sebastian of Penang West Malaysia and a fan of Glen Campbell since a long time. I love this song and espically the solo playing, played by Glen , now that was some awesome solo playing in country western style.
Glenn was a VERY VERY accomplished guitar player, he never got credit for how good of a guitarist he was...I just wish that he played a solid wood guitar with good tone instead of those plastic backed Ovation guitars that he played
I love this song and I love Glen but isn't this song pretty much just about some bum that shacks up with some stupid broad once in awhile. I mean, the guy is just a bum that wanders around junk yards and railroad tracks and drinks coffee out of a tin can. He's a fricken bum!
@CelestialWoodway What's the party have to do with it? Maybe he was an independent bum or even a Republican bum. Maybe he's a green party bum! A Green Bum! Now that's not boring!
An all time fave! I remember, however, my Presbyterian church's minister concentrating an entire sermon about how this song was emblematic of the culture of shacking up outside the bonds of marriage!
Glen was part of the famous studio musicians clique known as "the Wrecking Crew", many of whom went from session to session together as the same group. In addition to Campbell, Hal Blaine on drums, Leon Russell on piano, Carol Kaye on bass guitar, and Al Casey on guitar were part of this elite group of session musicians that defined many pop and rock recordings of the era. They were also heard on Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" recordings in the early 1960s.
@bcbear2000, yes, I remember that about him. Maybe it was 1967, and I was going to work. I was at Capitol Records at the time, and too ignorant to realize the man in the corner of the elevator was Glen. His musical delivery was down to earth, genuine.
@t0v3 cant remember the song but Do remember it was on Johnny Carsons tonight show...He and Roy Clark played the same guitar...yea...at the SAME time...made my jaw drop...dang ur right...he sure IS a great guitarist...
@t0v3 ...Glen Cambell went to LA from Arkansas as a studio guitarist...Somewhere around 1968; he met Jim Webb, and the rest is history. He plays just about any instrument well. Watch (and be surprised) by his YouTube cover of Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre. Regards.
Thanks for that info. Now I understand. The new ones (which are not cheap by the way), have that cut out section. I like this one that Glen is playing, as he never goes that far on the fretboard to need that cutoff. I cal it the figure eight shape, but that's just me.
You didn`t know ? Glen Campbell is one of the best pickers that ever picked a guitar up. VERY talented.He can play about any instrument he feels like.
You take all these shredders that hide behind 16 effects and give them that ovation and I guarantee you Glen would make send them all home crying to mama.... I personally play this song in my acoustic duo and I can tell you every time I play this song the whole room gets quiet and listens. This song is one of the best ever..
RAW FOODISM and FASTING could possibly heal Alheimer's...Check out Dr. Stanley Bass's site for help...I love his music and his voice.

What the......was that Glen Campbell shredding on the guitar or was I just seeing things? Eric Clapton has got nothing on this guy. I need to get on the internet and see where Glen rates on the 'great guitar players of all time' list. Holy shit, no wonder Glen worked as a 'hired gun' and 'studio rat' for a number of years in the music industry. No wonder Tanya Tucker liked him.....IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS GUITAR PLAYING ABILITIES!

Hi, i am David Sebastian of Penang West Malaysia and a fan of Glen Campbell since a long time. I love this song and espically the solo playing, played by Glen , now that was some awesome solo playing in country western style.
Thanks, i enjoy hearing this song.

Glenn was a VERY VERY accomplished guitar player, he never got credit for how good of a guitarist he was...I just wish that he played a solid wood guitar with good tone instead of those plastic backed Ovation guitars that he played

I love this song and I love Glen but isn't this song pretty much just about some bum that shacks up with some stupid broad once in awhile. I mean, the guy is just a bum that wanders around junk yards and railroad tracks and drinks coffee out of a tin can. He's a fricken bum!

@CelestialWoodway What's the party have to do with it? Maybe he was an independent bum or even a Republican bum. Maybe he's a green party bum! A Green Bum! Now that's not boring!

An all time fave! I remember, however, my Presbyterian church's minister concentrating an entire sermon about how this song was emblematic of the culture of shacking up outside the bonds of marriage!

I believe Glenn Cambell did much studio guitar picking for many famous singers, and that's how he broke into the business.

Glen was part of the famous studio musicians clique known as "the Wrecking Crew", many of whom went from session to session together as the same group. In addition to Campbell, Hal Blaine on drums, Leon Russell on piano, Carol Kaye on bass guitar, and Al Casey on guitar were part of this elite group of session musicians that defined many pop and rock recordings of the era. They were also heard on Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" recordings in the early 1960s.

@bcbear2000, yes, I remember that about him. Maybe it was 1967, and I was going to work. I was at Capitol Records at the time, and too ignorant to realize the man in the corner of the elevator was Glen. His musical delivery was down to earth, genuine.

@t0v3 ...Glen Cambell went to LA from Arkansas as a studio guitarist...Somewhere around 1968; he met Jim Webb, and the rest is history. He plays just about any instrument well. Watch (and be surprised) by his YouTube cover of Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre. Regards.

Thanks for that info. Now I understand. The new ones (which are not cheap by the way), have that cut out section. I like this one that Glen is playing, as he never goes that far on the fretboard to need that cutoff. I cal it the figure eight shape, but that's just me.

Does anyone know what kind of guitar Glenn is playing? I am trying to see the head stock and sometimes it looks like a seven string or eight string.
Bluntfacts 2 years ago
@Bluntfacts It's an Ovation Custom
Elite 6 String. Beautiful sounding guitar played by a true master.

Glen Campbell is one bad SOB...
You take all these shredders that hide behind 16 effects and give them that ovation and I guarantee you Glen would make send them all home crying to mama.... I personally play this song in my acoustic duo and I can tell you every time I play this song the whole room gets quiet and listens. This song is one of the best ever..
Maniac69Guitar 2 years ago 11
Nice camera work during the solo - you could almost see what he was doing!
I never understood why so many guys played Ovations in those days -- they sound terrible. But boy could Glen Campbell pick!
