5.0 out of 5 stars It's been a long time coming, August 11, 2002

By	Thomas Friedrich "highwayman" (Stuttgart) - See all my reviews

Between 1967 and 1977, Glen Campbell's most successful period, Capitol Records cashed in on the singer. Given this, Capitol does a lousy job making Campbell's back catalogue available on CD again. Proof Points? The best career retrospective on the market is without doubt not Capitol's "Essential Vol.1-3", but Razor& Tie's double CD "Collection". In 1999, it was not Capitol which re-issued Campbell's masterpiece with Jim Webb compositions, "Reunion", but the Australian label Raven. And now, in 2002, it's up to Raven again to reissue two Campbell albums from the mid-70s on one CD: "Rhinestone Cowboy" (1975), Campbell's most successful album, and "Bloodline" (1976), both produced by Lambert & Potter.
At last, Campbell fans old and new can enjoy this great music again. Campbell was and always will be popular for blending country and pop music and on these two albums one can tell why this is so. Both albums contain songs that rank among the best Campbell has ever recorded: The sparse arrangement of Randy Newman's "Marie" on "Rhinestone Cowboy" has as much emotional strength as everything on "Reunion"; "Comeback" and "We're Over" are almost equally strong. The same holds true for the material on "Bloodline": "Christiaan No", a Webb song, has been available elsewhere but it's good to hear the song together with other great songs like "Lay me down (roll me out to sea), written by "Rhinestone Cowboy" author Larry Weiss, the title track "Bloodline" or the lovely "San Francisco is a lonely town". This is great stuff - enjoy it.
And as for Capitol? There is still a lot of material to re-issue, e.g. the great "Try a Little Kindness" album" or "Houston"(the title song of which is a bonus track on the reviewed CD. Come on, guys, do us a favor, for a change.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last! Praise Be!, May 11, 2003

By A Customer

Why, why, why did it take so long to offer
the RHINESTONE COWBOY album on CD? Why? Why? Why?
One of the best albums of the era, with Campbell in top form--
We've been playing this over and over since it arrived from
Amazon. Many of the cuts are available on other
disks, but this album, with these songs in exactly the right order, is a classic. I love it. My husband loves it. I almost wept with happiness the first time I heard it again after all these years. And BLOODLINE is a great runner up.

5.0 out of 5 stars two great country/pop, August 22, 2007

By	David Insinga "DJI NEW JERSEY" (CLIFTON,NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

GLEN CAMPBELL for the most part is suppose to be classified as country artist but these songs are more pop than anything else.rhinestone cowboy was a hit on both charts(when this really meant anything)these are both really well rounded albums with a good mix of hits ballads any upbeat songs.the tracks are a little dated( you can tell they are from the mid seventies)but its a fresh change from some of the mondern country music thats around to day.though never regarded classic as some of his earlier
work RHINESTONE COWBOY/BLOODLINE are worth revisiting.
