Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell's remarkable 2011 album Ghost on the Canvas is revisited as Glen Campbell Duets: Ghost on the Canvas Sessions.  The original album was recorded as the artist first became aware of his Alzheimer's diagnosis and was intended as his final work (though two more proper studio releases would ultimately follow).  A collaboration with producer Julian Raymond, Ghost included songs by such Campbell fans as The Replacements' Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan, Jellyfish's Roger Manning, Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard, and Teddy Thompson as well as poignant Campbell/Raymond co-writes.  A melancholy but hopeful country-pop masterwork, it summed up decades of Campbell's career into one moving record. Now, almost seven years after Glen's August 2017 passing, another host of his friends and fans have assembled to pay tribute.  Duets pairs him with an illustrious array of voices on songs from the original Ghost, including Dolly Parton ("A Better Place"), Carole King ("There's No Me...Without You"), Brian Wilson ("Strong"), Eric Clapton ("Nothing But the Whole Wide World"), Eric Church ("Hold on Hope"), the duo of Daryl Hall and Dave Stewart ("It's Your Amazing Grace"), and Sting ("Ghost on the Canvas"). Elton John appears on a duet of "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" which previously appeared on Elton's The Lockdown Sessions.
