‘Glen Campbell Duets – Ghost On The Canvas Sessions’ Out Now
The collaborative album Glen Campbell Duets – Ghost on the Canvas Sessions has been released via Big Machine Records and Surfdog Records.
This unique project features duets pairing the late Glen Campbell‘s original vocals with music legends such as Brian Wilson, Carole King, Dolly Parton, Elton John, Hope Sandoval, Linda Perry, Sting, Brian Setzer and more. These reimagined tracks come from Campbell’s 2011 farewell album Ghost on the Canvas, the only album written and recorded by an artist actively battling Alzheimer’s disease.
In celebration of the new album, guests gathered at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum in Nashville on Thursday (Apr. 18) to view the new Glen Campbell exhibit. The event featured a panel with Campbell’s family members and friends, including Julian Raymond, Dave Kaplan, Steve Wariner, Cal Campbell and Kim Campbell.
“I just want to thank all of the incredible artists who lent their talents to this project and created such a beautiful tribute to Glen,” shares Campbell’s co-producer and co-writer Raymond. “Creating Ghost on the Canvas with Glen was such an impactful and moving experience, and it means a great deal to me that so many people came together to honor him and his reconciliation with his diagnosis. I hope this project continues to inspire hope in those faced with Alzheimer’s.”
“Over the years, Ghost On the Canvas continued to receive massive acclaim, and accolades continued to pour in for both Glen and this record from the creative community – whether from new artists or the greatest legends in music history,” says Surfdog Records’ Kaplan.
