Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited: Glen Campbell

glen campbell Image Name: glen campbell
At the start of this programme, recorded prior to the recent death of Glen Campbell, Joe Jackson states, “this may be the most poignant show in the series, if only because Glen Campbell is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and possibly wouldn’t be able to recall most of the memories and events he and I discussed during our 1990 interview.” These subjects include, playing guitar for the likes of Elvis and Sinatra, his love of Jim Webb songs such as By The Time I Get To Phoenix, marriage to Tanya Tucker, abuse of cocaine and having his soul saved by Christ. The show includes Campbell hits including Rhinestone Cowboy and features the only in-depth interview Glen Campbell gave to the Irish media.
