5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, August 23, 2006

This review is from: Gentle on My Mind (Audio CD)

I still have the LP of this disc that I received as a birthday present when it came out. I can remember the night Campbell and John Hartford appeared on "The Smothers Brothers Show" to sing "Gentle on My Mind"; the next summer The Glen Campbell Show replaced the Smothers Brothers. Not that I was happy to see them go, but it meant I got to hear Campbell's new music at least once a week.

What of this disc? "Gentle on My Mind" is the greatest of a list of great Campbell songs; it was his starmaker. This album sounds quite a lot like the title track; it doesn't have as many of the orchestrations and "produced" sounds of his later hits. Those are fine too (especially "By the Time I get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", and "Rhinestone Cowboy") but these songs focus more on the voice and the guitar. If you like the produced sound, you'll enjoy "You're My World" and some of the others. Besides the title track, I remember loving "Mary in the Morning" and "Without Her". The album closes with a convincing cover of "Crying".

Wow, and this is four bucks? Gotta have it at that price.

I hadn't listened to this in over 25 years. I have come to appreciate Campbell's use of voice and instrumental backup. Some wonderful songs here like Catch the Wind and It's Over as well as the title cut. An excellent listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Set of Early Glen Campbell Work, June 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Gentle on My Mind (Audio CD)

One of Campbell's favorite albums, "Gentle on My Mind" boasts great production and sound quality, and though there are no Jimmy Webb songs here, the others do very well, especially Campbell's cover versions of country and pop tunes: "Catch the Wind," "Bowling Green," and "It's Over" by Donovan, the Everly Brothers, and Jimmie Rodgers, respectively.
