 Glen Campbell: Meet Glen Campbell
It is either fashionable to praise Glen Campbell’s recently released and ironically titled Meet Glen Campbell, or in fact I am completely off base here and it is truly an admirable work. I have yet to read even a slightly negative review of this “re-introduction” of the 72-year old Glen Campbell to a new and obviously younger (I suppose) audience—and perhaps reconnect with those who loved hits such as “Wichita Lineman” or “Gentle on My Mind” in the late 1960’s and early 1970s. The Hatch-Show-Print looking cover of Meet Glen Campbell possesses a slightly hip, yet still old-fashioned look: the perfect graphic illustration, one presumes, of what this release is all about. It’s about a long-dormant legend being acknowledged for his past and at the same time praised for his being artistically relevant, still. 
 The Radiators: Wild & Free
Above all else, The Radiators are a gig band. Blues, no doubt; Cajun, yes, Swamp-boogie, absolutely: a mix of guitar-driven Swamp vibe meets formula-driven, but distinctive, rock and roll. Whatever you want is all there—The Radiators' musical stew—as befits a true home grown New Orleans band. In some ways they are like their grander musical cousin, Credence Clearwater Revival; they excel at everything, and so don't stand out in any one area. As Springsteen said about Credence, "they weren't the coolest, just the best." |
