This may be Glen Campbell’s reinvention at the twilight of his career. This is an album stocked with contemporary pop-rock covers, some done well, but none done better. He attempts to work his magic with some strange choices like the Foo Fighters’, “Times Like These” and Velvet Underground’s, “Jesus.” It’s a man with a guitar, who gives his best, that’s it. At only 10 songs long, Meet Glen Campbell is a perfect summer goof: quick, disposable, retro and extremely listenable. Reviewed By LaRaeJames McMurtry
