Glen Campbell - I Am A Lineman For The County: Glen Campbell Sings Jimmy Webb (New CD)
"I Am A Lineman For The County" pulls together every Jimmy Webb song recorded by Glen Campbell between 1967 and 1982. In late 1961, fifteen-year old Jimmy Webb was working as a farmhand in Oklahoma. Every day he would take his lunch to work in a paper bag and dangle a green plastic transistor radio inside the cab of his industrial-size tractor. One day a song came on the radio called âTurn Around Look At Meâ that blew Webb's mind. Losing concentration, Webb turned the wrong way and careered down the road, wrecking a $20,000 tractor and trashing his boss's front garden. He lost his job, but it made a great anecdote - this had been Webb's memorable first encounter with the voice of Glen Campbell. The southern gothic hit trilogy of âBy The Time I Get to Phoenixâ (1967), âWichita Linemanâ (1968), and âGalvestonâ (1969) wove Jimmy Webb's and Glen Campbell's careers together. It was a magical meeting of minds, with Campbell's rich expressive, melancholic voice a perfect match for Webb's widescreen lyrics and complex chord sequences.
