Ghost On The Canvas


Glen Campbell has a new album out called "Ghost On The Canvas." It is evidently his last album as he is slowly slipping into the Alzheimer's fog. I've never been a huge fan, but you've got to respect the man's voice and a handful of good songs. Of importance to us is that fact that the title track to the new album was written by none other than Bastardo hero Paul Westerberg. He also does a Bob Pollard song, Hold On Hope, so his hipster cred is solid.

This proves it: Westerberg just needs to write for other artists now. He would have ruined this with that homemade-in-the-basement shit he calls production.

Sad agreement with Jay. What is less known about Campbell is the fact that he is an ass-searing guitarist and that he was a touring Beach Boy in the late 60s. 'Gentle On My Mind' is one of the best songs ever.
