Glen Campbell - These Days (Meet Glen Campbell [2008])
allmusic, band homepage
I grew up a big Glen Campbell fan, loving his Jimmy Webb hits from the late 60's and early 70's. This album goes back to that sound using modern songs. This is similar to the project done a few years ago with Johnny Cash covering modern tunes. I found the album an easy listen, though I wouldn't run out and buy it, well that is except for this song. I really think this may be one of the best songs he's ever made. Of course this isn't that modern a song since it was written by Jackson Browne when he was very young, but this song fits perfectly with this classic Glen Campbell arrangement.
For comparison here is Browne doing the song six years earlier on another AOL Session.
