What happens when the Rhinestone Cowboy meets the inventor of the puke bucket? Listeners will find out later this year when Glen Campbell releases his final studio album, 'Ghost on the Canvas.' According to Billboard, the new disc will feature collaborations with former Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard and onetime Replacements mouthpiece Paul Westerberg, who wrote the title track. Crooner Chris Isaak and Jakob Dylan have also signed on for Campbell's upcoming studio swansong."It's not your mother's Glen Campbell," producer Julian Raymond told Billboard. "He's playing guitar better than ever, singing and writing better than ever. It's really going to be a great final statement from him." 'Ghost on the Canvas' is the follow-up to Campbell's 2008 covers disc, 'Meet Glen Campbell,' which featured his taken on tunes by Green Day, the Replacements, U2, the Foo Fighters and the Velvet Underground.
Raymond, who produced that disc, says the covers project was "the best way to get him a new audience, and it did." Now, Campbell -- who is also famous for his 1968 rendering of Jimmy Webb's classic 'Wichita Lineman' -- has also gotten studio assistance from members of the Dandy Warhols, former Prince sidewoman Wendy Melvoin and studio drummer Josh Freese. According to Raymond, there was "an unbelievable amount of people" interested in helping Campbell.

"Meet Glen Campbell" was an amazing album in 2008. It's amazing that he can keep creating haunting new melodies after over 50 years into his solo career. Capitol records should sign him for another couple of albums.
