+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
Ghost on the Canvas was designed and promoted as Glen Campbell's farewell
album but, unbeknownst to all who were not in the studio, the country legend
also recorded a bunch of new vocals to old hits (plus a couple of curious deep
cuts) during those 2011 recording sessions. Producers Dave Darling and Dave
Kaplan then took these vocals, added new instrumentation, and released the
whole shebang as 2013's See You There. Darling and Kaplan may refer to the
Rick Rubin/Johnny Cash playbook, but See You There isn't an exercise in noir
nostalgia. They've stripped away the gossamer strings, sometimes adding no
more than a guitar ("Rhinestone Cowboy," where the impression is Campbell
strumming along himself), but usually working in an army of guitars supported
by sensitive keyboards and steel guitars, maybe the occasional Dobro or
fiddle. Compared to the classic '60s and '70s recordings, these are spare but
they're not stark; they're artfully dusty. Usually, the songs sound different
but feel the same, which means attention is drawn directly to Campbell's
voice, which is considerably weathered, showing the signs of his age. He can
still hit some impressive notes but they're individual moments -- during the
quiet stretches when he's not reaching for the glory notes, his age is quite
noticeable. To an extent, there's a bittersweetness to hearing an aged
Campbell revisit his younger self -- a melancholy Darling and Kaplan are
willing to emphasize -- but no matter how carefully constructed this whole
enterprise is, See You There doesn't carry the same weight as Ghost on the
Canvas. That felt like a fitting coda to a career; this feels like an
afterthought.
