    Ghost on the Canvas

    I just read that Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's and is preparing for his goodbye tour along with the pending release of his final album called Ghost on the Canvas.

    It's going to be a sad thing to see Glen go and the album, based on the song titles, seems to reflect a but of that melancholy from Glen's perspective.

    Glen has been performing for 50 years and is only 75 years old. The title track to the album has been released and it is without a doubt vintage Glen Campbell

    I've always liked Campbell but even more than that I'm really taken by his approach to the onset of Alzheimer's. My grandmother (93) has been going through that progression for the last 15 years and it's one of those things that's both fascinating and heartbreaking. I've been listening to some clips and it's really kind of touching.

    I did not like the mix (above) from the OP... made his voice sound thin and a bit 'whinny'

    This one is much better... Sounds like Glen Campbell...

    Other than that... Maybe, a little over produced.

    I've got to say that I'm really liking this tune. It's classin Glen Campbell even though it was written by Paul Westerberg.
