POSSIBLY THE BEST, MOST INSIGHTFUL REVIEW YET...of Glen's last song, "I'm Not Gonna Miss You", the under-appreciation of Glen Campbell as a major musical talent, and now Glen's near resurgence of his career with long over-due respect and acceptance that supports the fact that Glen Campbell had has "it" all along. Glen is also given long overdue credit for having "established a pop-country type (of music) that persists".

Thanks for that link

It’s a song that, in a perfect world, would set the standard for how this type of song is executed. Calling it brilliant wouldn’t come close to doing this recording justice.

Wonderful review of I'm Not Gonna Miss You.
