"I am not one to keep repurchasing republished greatest hits CDs. But the sound quality on the one I had was simply appalling. This is a must for fans of Glen."

"If you don't have a smile on your face by the time the third track of this CD has played, you must not have a heart or a pulse!
Campbell's best hits still ring true after almost 40 years and will transport you back in time to the carefree days of the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. We still love this musical Rhinestone Cowboy and this compilation of his best is a must-have for any country music fan."
IMPRESSIVE GENIUS !!!

"Glen Campbell can still please his loyal fans; and there's no doubt as to why when you listen to this album full of great, timeless music by this icon. Glen is in excellent form throughout this CD; and every tune's a winner! The quality of the sound is excellent and I like the artwork as well.
"Rhinestone Cowboy;" "Wichita Lineman;" "Southern Nights;" "By the Time I Get to Phoenix;" "Galveston" and "Try a Little Kindness" shine bright in Glen's capable hands. Glen handles these songs with panache and he never skips a beat! The music is perfect for the lyrics and these are memorable songs to say the least.
"Gentle on My Mind" is very well done; and it's easy on the ear as well. Glen sings this with all his heart and soul; I love it. "I Wanna Live" has a great country flavor to it and there are yet more ageless gems in songs like "Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.);" the passionate "True Grit;" "Honey, Come Back;" "It's Only Make Believe" with Glen squarely in the spotlight and "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife."
"Hey Little One" has Glen singing at his usual very best; and the album closes with two other numbers, "Times Like These" and "These Days." It leaves me wanting more!
Glen Campbell's talent is nicely showcased on this album; and it's a must-have for his fans. It also makes a fine starter CD for people who are just discovering the wonderful artistry of the great Glen Campbell.
