"Ghost on the Canvas" was recorded while Campbell was dealing with Alzheimer's. He toured behind the album and eventually passed away in 2017.

"I've always admired Glen Campbell's guitar playing and loved his singing. I was moved recently when one of his final performances, during his illness, came on TV," said Clapton. "When I was asked to sing and play with Glen on the song Jakob Dylan wrote, it all just felt right, and I am happy to be part of it."

"It was really special to me to be able to be part of this project. Glen was so important to not just country music, but all of music. What a stallion!" said Church.

Among the artists participating were . Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Chris Issak, Wendy Melvoin (Prince and the Revolution), Rick Neilsen (Cheap Trick), Steve Hunter (Lou Reed), The Dandy Warhols, Jason Faulkner Jr., Kim Bullard, Josh Freese (The Foo Fighters) and Dick Dale.

As the decade wore on, both men accelerated in prominence, Elvis via his 1968 televised comeback special and Campbell ...
CD review - British Live Performance Glen Campbell was in fine voice for this 1990 Doncaster, England concert that features strong performances of many of his classic hits and some rare gems, but at times the collection feels a bit dated by the presence of unmemorable tracks from his current album at the time.
