Great interview with Cal. He tells it like it is. The state of today's music industry must be so frustrating for people with real talent who can't get their music "out there".
Thanks for posting this interview link, Randy.

Cowpoke, is that Crook & Chase interview available on that link? I would love to hear it.


Here is an update about a Billy Mize movie that is in production: "Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound". See: http://www.billymizemovie.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Glen appears very briefly in one video ("Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound Trailer") in a very short clip from "Melody Ranch", a television show that Billy Mize emceed. Glen appeared at least several times on Billy's show.

The full performance by Glen on the episode shown in the movie trailer is posted on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIcCEOpfaQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The film is "in the can but not finished"; a DVD can be pre-ordered, but I think that I will wait this one out until the film is released. Like the documentary, "The Wrecking Crew", it is taking time to obtain rights to use songs and videos.

My first time to see this AFI red carpet interview if I'll Be Me ,with Cal Campbell , so not sure if it's been posted yet before. So very true what he says, about the difference between how good you had to be back when Glen came up vs. now.


Excellent interview:

I think we missed this. A tribute to Glen Campbell on the Crooks and Chase Countdown radio show with David Nail, Tim McGraw and Band Perry...

Here's a good list of 10 of Glen's best songs.

Really outstanding article, Randy!
This idea seems so doable:

“People can help,” Dan Cohen says of Music & Memory and its mission. “They can volunteer in a nursing home and help people get set up. Groups can adopt a nursing home. $2500 will provide a nursing home with training and iPods—it will get them going.” Schools can also host iPod drives and facilitate volunteer groups. Cohen reports that there are over a hundred high schools and colleges signed on with Music & Memory, with younger, tech-savvy students organizing iPod playlists for nursing home residents.

“The number one thing is to make sure everyone in the family has their playlists set up, whether or not they’re in the healthcare system.”

Thanks so much for sharing this article. I am going to post it on my FB page tonight to help get the word out about this project and the power of music as therapy to help people.

And this has to be one of the saddest, a new interview with Kim Campbell.

This is one of the best articles I have read about Glen.

More and more, it is understood that you can’t tell the story of American popular music without Glen Campbell.

Interesting to hear Debby Campbell talking to the BBC about her latest book, Glen Campbell - Life With My Father.

I must say, these fact facts on Glen Campbell are very accurate.

arlw, agreed, that was a well-researched article written by Pamela Yip, and I am impressed that Dallas Morning News had the foresight to post Pamela's article in the business section of the newspaper rather than the "entertainment" section (as many publications do).
I am sorry for your losses to this terrible disease and pray that both preventative treatments and a cure are found...soon. It is becoming an epidemic as we baby boomers all age.
