Rhinestone Cowboy (The Best Of Glen Campbell) - Glen Campbell

A Reintroduction to Glen Campbell

Advantages: Classic songs sung beautifully, great instrumentalists and orchestra
Disadvantages: For me there really are none!

Capitol record label, his greatest success was with recordings of songs written by Jimmy Webb, including "Galveston", "Witchita Lineman" and "Where's the Playground, Susie". My rudiments of American geography were gleaned from hearing "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" as a child. Campbell's career went into decline in the late 70s and he has had battles with drugs and alcohol - the usual demons to hit successful artists unfortunately - and while his back catalogue will always keep him in work, as a fine singer and guitar player his talents hadn't been utilised properly for some time. The Album Producer Julian Raymond came up with the concept for "Meet Glen Campbell" which brought Campbell back to the Capitol fold in 2008. Raymond submitted songs to Campbell to choose for the album and the end result is Campbell's take on other artist ...

Review of Meet Glen Campbell - Glen Campbell

The Most Beautiful Glen In Scotland!

Advantages: Fantastic Scenery, Lots Of Wildlife
Disadvantages: The Midges, Difficult To Get To

Glen Affric has been described by many writers of Scottish Books as "the most beautiful Glen in Scotland." It is a place that I have visited many times and having seen this place at first hand and also many other Glens in Scotland I will not try and dispute this claim. THE LOCATION Glen Affric lies on the A831 just 24 miles to the West of Inverness, 15 miles from Drumnadrochit, and 65 miles to the East of Fort William. GLEN AFFRIC Access to Glen Affric is via a single track Road that leaves the A831 at Fasnakyle Power Station near Cannich. This Road initially follows the River Affric and then eventually runs alongside the shores of Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin. It is a dead end Road that continues for 5 miles so your return journey will be back along this same route. Glen Affric is an example of one of the largest surviving ...

Review of Glen Affric

Glen Or Glenda

Advantages: Unique, original, mysterious and deeply heartfelt.
Disadvantages: No decent DVD exists as of yet. Oh, and all that "Worst Film Ever" stuff.

these films on their own terms (and I have been as guilty of the Smug as anyone). Glen Or Glenda is perhaps the quintessential Edward D. Wood Jnr film. More so than Plan 9 From Outer Space, even, Glen Or Glenda seems to have spilled undiluted from Wood's mind onto the screen, with no compromise, no concessions to any "audience demand" standing in the way of the man's vision. The film tells of both Glen (played by Wood), a closet transvestite (although he does wander the streets in female apparel as "Glenda") and Alan, soon to become Anne following a sex-change operation. The secondary narrative does perhaps stand as SOMETHING of a concession to the studio's demands (Ed was hired to make an exploitation picture called I Changed My Sex, not the deeply personal I Wear Women's Clothing fever-dream that resulted), but the bulk ...
