Glen Campbell

[luka]

I got into Glen Campbell last night

 

[luka]

 

[luka]

it was a mood i've never been in before. i felt i was in st tropez. id been drinking tequila and soda in the sun all evening. i wanted that lush orchestration, those rich, warm, generous voices

 

[luka]

you're so vain sounded really good too so i played that a few times

 

[luka]

one of those times when you get stuck wanting something you dont really know where to look for so you just get approximations

 

[luka]

walker brothers make it easy on yourself sounded good

things where you picture session musicians wearing suits in the studio. serious professionals who turn up on time and smoke bare fags

 

[bassbeyondreason]

Ever fuck with Johnny Mathis? Mel Torme? Easy Listening with the softest, most restorative sonics.

 

[luka]

no, i only stumbled into the terrain yesterday by accident but will check it out

Glen had a great voice and so many great songs.

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

Favourite of middle aged music journalists, and their wives

incredible voice. was trying to find things that occupy the same register cos its so lovely to sit there

I wonder if some Roy Orbison might be in that realm.

 

[WashYourHands]

an aunt used to rinse this drunk

Immaculately undersold devastation:

This stuff is properly psychedelic, like experiencing someone else's daydream.

I put a seed in my garden. It didn't grow.
I gave a man all my heart and I watched him go.

My mum loved the album he did with Bobby Gentry.

A bloke wrote an entire book just about "Wichita Lineman".

I love Poppy Family... No Blood in Bone is good. Very dark band.

That intro is actually quite disturbing
