Childhood Memories
As a young girl of 7 or 8 years of age, I had a huge crush on Glen Campbell. My father has this on an LP. My father would play LP's for me when I was sick as his way of helping me to feel better. And it always worked. I loved this album back then, and I love it now on CD. I'd long forgotten a couple of my "favorite" songs until I listened to the samples off the CD. While I don't listen to alot of his new music, I love the old classics, they are just "Gentle On My Mind"!.


Gentle on My Mind- Glen Campbell
I remember the songs, the order of the songs, and how much I like this album. This is a walk down memory lane. Remembering John Hartford from the Glen Campbell show wrote this song and recorded it himself and its appeal to both country and pop charts made me nostalgic for more John Hartford as well. These guys were/are tops in musical talent. .


Still the best
I can remember the night Campbell and John Hartford appeared on "The Smothers Brothers Show" to sing "Gentle on My Mind"; the next summer The Glen Campbell Show replaced the Smothers Brothers. I still have the LP of this disc that I received as a birthday present when it came out. Not that I was happy to see them go, but it meant I got to hear Campbell's new music at least once a week.

What of this disc? "Gentle on My Mind" is the greatest of a list of great Campbell songs; it was his starmaker. This album sounds quite a lot like the title track; it doesn't have as many of the orchestrations and "produced" sounds of his later hits. Those are fine too (especially "By the Time I get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", and "Rhinestone Cowboy") but these songs focus more on the voice and the guitar. If you like the produced sound, you'll enjoy "You're My World" and some of the others. Besides the title track, I remember loving "Mary in the Morning" and "Without Her". The album closes with a convincing cover of "Crying".

Wow, and this is four bucks? Gotta have it at that price.


Still A Great Listen
I have come to appreciate Campbell's use of voice and instrumental backup. I hadn't listened to this in over 25 years. Some wonderful songs here like Catch the Wind and It's Over as well as the title cut. An excellent listen.
