Country icon Glen Campbell died in 2017, and released his farewell album, Ghost on the Canvas, in 2011. That record has now been reimagined as duets, with a wild spectrum of artists involved: Hope Sandoval, Sting, punk band X, Elton John, Carole King, Eric Church, Dolly Parton, Eric Clapton, Brian Setzer, Linda Perry, and Daryl Hall & Dave Stewart. Titled Glen Campbell Duets: Ghost on the Canvas Sessions, the album is out April 19 via Big Machine / Surfdog Records.
The album (as it did in 2011) also includes musical contributions from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Chris Issak, Wendy Melvoin (Prince and the Revolution), Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Steve Hunter (Lou Reed), The Dandy Warhols, Chris Chaney, Jason Faulkner Jr., Kim Bullard, Josh Freese (The Foo Fighters), Vinnie Colaiuta, Marti Rifkin, Dick Dale and Tim Pierce.
You can listen to the tracks with Eric Church (a cover of Guided by Voices‘ “Hold On Hope”!) and Eric Clapton (Jakob Dylan‘s “Nothing But the Whole Wide World”) now.
