Re: Check Out This Link - Glen Campbell News on the Web

Since Wayne was already such a huge star, True Grit’s producers declined Elvis and went with Campbell. [/b] It's like quoting a job that you really don't want. You ask about double and if they say ok...jackpot. But...Wayne would have never gone for it. The terms had to be DRT and laughable. You hav...

Glen must have liked this Tele for a little bit around the early 2000's. It seems like it has seen quite a bit of use. Here he is playing it in 2002 at the CMT awards.

Glen Plays a Danelectro Longhorn 6 String Bass on Wichita Lineman

B y all accounts, when Glen recorded Wichita Lineman, he used Carol Kaye's Danelectro 6-string bass to do the improvised solo. Although I have never found a witness account as to which model it was, the Danelectro Longhorn is mentioned occasionally. {Sidenote - Carol Kaye's Longhorn was later stole...

Re: New Album Release for Glen - Live From the Troubadour (2008)

Mike, Thanks for the link. Very enjoyable set. Glen is in top form. Cowpoke is right...Julian should be given all the credit here. A couple of things about the folks on stage only overshadowed by Glen... Todd Youth...so much talent and for him to pair up with Glen was crazy... "I don't remember...

Arkansas Farmboy

Having grown up in the Permian Basin back in the 60s/early 70s, all you could get is local AM CW stations (unless you waited until dark for Xrok out of Mexico). Glen could have certainly had a hit with this one back during those days. Today's country is best described by the late Tom Petty "bad...

In 1987 the band entered a contest sponsored by Marlboro. We made it to the finals, which were held at Mr. Lucky’s (a then famous, now d...
