Arkansas native Glen Campbell reintroduces himself
Glen Campbell’s new album is simply titled “Meet Glen Campbell.”
And it could be called an introduction to a side of the Delight, Arkansas native that we’ve never seen before.
How so? For the album, which was released Aug. 19, the 72-year-old Campbell recorded pop and rock songs, many from artists who were just toddlers when Campbell scored hits with songs such as “Wichita Lineman” and “Rhinestone Cowboy.”
He offers his take on songs such as “Jesus” by the Velvet Underground, “Times Like These” by the Foo Fighters and “All I Want Is You” by U2.
CNN interviewed Campbell about the new record. Check out their story here.
