Song of The Day | REM - Wichita Lineman - 1994 [Jimmy Webb]

 Now for reasons best left to someone else I was never really a fan of the singer who made this song so famous in Glen Campbell and may have misjudged him, but the songwriter here came to me much much later in the legendary Jimmy Webb who I only really began to appreciate in recent years (well the past twenty?) That this classic song should be covered by Michael and the band here speaks volumes . . . . . 

R.E.M. - Wichita Lineman 1994

Superb stuff!

Glen Campbell & Roy Clark Play "Ghost Riders in the Sky"

 Never much of a Glen Campbell fan and that country schtick stuck in my craw for the longest time but I never appreciated what a fine country guitar picker he actually was . . . . . the ‘novelty’ status of Roy Clark either didn’t sit too well either but boy do I think those gosh darned heckin’ freckin’  country boys kin play!

Yesirree Bob!

worthy of note that while Roy plays the country guitar of choice the Telecaster, Campbell is playing a 12 string! Not many folks flat pick one of those . . . not sure what make, (could it be a Danelectro?)
