    Awesome single.

  • Dale VanCleef

    Because of Glen Campbell, I learned how to play the guitar. I’ve been at it for 43 years now. I’ve never come close to what he does. But I owe a lifetime of joy to the man who made me want to play.

    Thanks for sharing your God given talent with us all these years. We are truly blessed to have heard your songs.

  • Rev. Carol J.

    Glen, saw you today on Sunday Morning, enjoyed seeing you and your family. Will be praying for you, trusting the Lord to continue to do great and wonderful things in your life. Blessings!!!!

    Dear Glen, I am from the Netherlands and I bought your first LP 35 years ago. I always loved your songs. I am a therapist working in the addiction care and I know about your problems. I do admire you for your quality! But in my opinion your best song in your carreer is ” a better place” I can play it again and again. It is very very impressing!!

    Mr. Campbell,
    Thank you for a memorable performance this evening at the Kent Stage.
    How gratifying it is to see and hear your musical legacy being carried on through your children.

    The set list was a great mix of so many favorites, and beautiful new favorites from Ghost On The Canvas.
    We couldn’t pop the CD into the player fast enough for the drive home.

    Congratulations on the much deserved honors at the Grammys next month

    I saw Glen last night here in Ann Arbor….what a moving experience! Being a musician myself, it was humbling to be in the presence of a living legend, and a true blessing to see Glen live with his very talented family and friends! If you have a chance to see him, do it! Don’t miss it, cuz this may well be your last chance to see Glen perform the masterpieces of Jimmy Webb, John Hartford, Alan Toussaint, et al…

  • Detroit Fan

    I’m sure you’ll be greeted with a standing O tonight in Ann Arbor! I will have tears in my eyes I know. Just heard this song on WDET Detroit and it’s sounding great! Hope I can pick p the CD tonight

  • Marmac2

    Glen, I wasn’t able to see you live until you finally came where I could get there but I have walked miles with my Ipod, just you and me! Seeing you live is one of the biggest highlights of my life….Thank you for a great concert….at Chumash in California….. I love you and so love this Album….My love to you and yor family Glen! God Bless!

  • Lynn

    Hey Glen, always hoped to see you play live and I did. Your played and everyone was happy. Thanks for all the songs. Ghost on the canvas is really great. all my best to you and family.

  • Steve

    My dad and I used to watch you on the Glen Campbell goodtime hour and I loved it. I remember your songs when they came out and in 1967 I almost quit the guitar!! It really kept me going and I thank you for the great years of awesome music and great playing. Live life, love it, and keep the family close. You won’t be forgotton. God Bless

  • Ksd

    please list the january 29 show in kent ohio to your tour list. that show is selling very slowly and i fear it will be cancelled. it is also not listed at concert shout or pollstar…hmmm????

  • Walt

    I saw you January 3 at The Ryman. It was so wonderful. I have always loved your music. Ghost on the Canvas is such a great, moving album.. Thank you so much for doing it. You are the best. God bless you Mr. Campbell.

  • Lee Baxter

    Hi Mr Campbell. I have listened to your music since my father introduced me to you when I was about 12 years of age back in Queensland Australia. I cannot get Ghost on the Canvas out of my head since I heard it this morning what a great song and a great choice for you to have recorded it. It inspires me so much and it makes me feel very proud and at the same time very sad, but you are a very strong human being and a modest one at that, a brilliant singer and there is no word that exists to me that can describe your guitar picking. You are a Legend god bless.

  • Rolloww

    You are the man

  • Debbie

    Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Glen Campbell!

  • Ginger from Nashville

    I saw you at the Ryman in Nashville on 1/3/12. Afterward, I immediately downloaded your new album and I have cried my eyes out for 2 days. “It’s Your Amazing Grace”… wow. I sang BGVs on “Greatest Love Of All” back in 1992, and count it as one of my highest honors. You are an anointed man of God who has lived life to its fullest — good & bad — and been an inspiration for us all. When I was a little girl, I used to sing “Honey Come Back” to my Daddy when he would leave for weeks on end. I can’t begin to express how much YOU have meant to me. Thank you, Glen, for it all….. May God continue to bless you through this season of your life. Much love….. Ginger from Nashville

  • Ken

    I have listened to this disc a dozen times since it arrived. Brilliant, soulful work by a fantastic entertainer. Painful to know that it is your last studio work, Glen. Ghost on the Canvas is a fitting end to a body of work that has been simply wonderful. May God Bless and Keep You near Him always.

  • Merethe

    It would be a dream if you would come to Europe… Denmark or Germany….

    A devoted fan from Denmark…

  • John Lombard

    Looking forward to the Milwaukee Show next month. Many of the people Glen worked with played here through the years as well. He’s one of the last from that era of Charismatic Entertainers whose songs will be around forever. John Lombard, Milwaukee,Wisconsin

  • Teresa Jackson

    I love the new songs and the old and I really love Glen Campbell…his music always brings back good memories….what an artist!! Teresa Jackson-Kentucky

  • Ghovde

    We know what you really do Glen.. You are a lineman for the county. We all LOVE you! :-)

  • Ksd

    Why is the show on Sunday Jan 29 at the Kent Stage, kent Ohio not listed here when I have tickets in hand? It would make sense that you would promote your own shows….

  • Rglogg

    hi my name is rich loggins and i met you Glen at the lovs truck stop out side of maryville TN today 12/16/12 and you are so down to earth and when you sang like a Rhine stone coy boy for the teller it touched me, i must have seamed like a little gitty fan but you are and will always be in my prayers,thinks for taking a picture and shaking my hand if we never meet again this side of Heaven i will see you on the other side God bless you and your family Kim and Kids.

  • Glick Sandy

    Wow I just got 3rd row tickets to see him in January. I pray that we don’t get hit with a blizzard.

  • Gene

    Great video and song. I salute Glen for a great career. He has ups and downs in his life but is showing the best of his life now.

    AMAZING!! Glen’s done an amazing job on GOTC as a full album. Sad that its billed as “final”, but you never know, maybe a single might come out providing he still can. Seeing him in concert, he can still sing and play, so here’s to hope!! Keep it up Glen, you’re doing FANTASTIC!! Hope to see you in Canada again soon :)

    Glenn Campbell has always been a musicial backdrop in my life. Everyone eventually must face their own mortality. Glenn can be justly proud in the way he is facing his. You have class, Glenn!

  • Kevin Grahame

    My mother-in-law, Valerie Taylor and her friend Eva went to see Glen at Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea on the 5th November and managed to meet Glen Cambell in private at the interval and his close friend, Stephen, took a video and photos of the meeting but my mother-in-law never left any contact details for Stephen to pass the photos onto. She has contacted the Cliffs Pavilion but they have no contact details for Glen or Stephen.

    My mother-in-law is blind and would really appreciate a copy of the photos to share her special moment with her family so I would be grateful if you could pass my details onto Glen Cambell and his close friend Stephen so they can forward any photos onto me.

    Best Regards

    Kevin Grahame

    Glen,
    I truly do hope you read my post or at least hear of it. I am not a professional musician by any stretch, but I do own four guitars and have been playing for almost forty years now in no small part because of you.You were one of my favorite and most prominent influences in the love of the instrument. Thank you for the music Glen, thank you for sharing your gift with us all. God bless you.

  • Tomc11

    For a man I sincerely admire and respect. I love your music and guitar playing. It always seems to come straight from the heart, I am sure it does. Your rendition of MacArthur Park is truly inspiring. Thank you.

  • Proukat

    great video..with Paul Westerberg too!!

  • Martha

    Martha…Saw Glen today on the Ellen show. He is one of the GREAT ones. The second song he performed was awesome. I will be buying the new CD for sure and hope to see him in concert.
