Details: Amazon.caIn 1967 Glen Campbell broke through to become a household name following his hit version of Jimmy Webb’s « By the Time I Get to Phoenix. » With follow-up hits « I Wanna Live » and « Wichita Lineman » paving the way for his enormously successful CBS variety show The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, Campbell rode a trail of hit singles well into the 1970s. This hits collection reflects his wide-ranging repertoire and flair for mixing old and new. Though his spin on John Hartford’s « Gentle on My Mind » barely broke the Top 30 in 1967, it gained immortality as the Goodtime Hour theme song. With the now-classic « Rhinestone Cowboy » and « Southern Nights, » Campbell’s ability to create chart-topping country singles that resonated with non-country fans was years ahead of its time. Tackling songs forever associated with others (the Everly Brothers’ « Let It Be Me » and « All I Have to do Is Dream » and Conway Twitty’s « It’s Only Make Believe ») can be risky, but Campbell’s strong, passionate interpretations put them across. –Rich Kienzle
