Episode 12: Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell spent over 50 years in the music business. He recorded scores of record albums and starred in a hit TV show. He also made history in 1967 by winning four Grammy awards in two different categories . . . two for “Gentle on My Mind” in the Country and Western category, and two for “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” in the Pop category. He subbed for Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys, and then almost immediately went on to become a sensation in his own right. Unfortunately, we lost Glen to complications from Alzheimers this year, at the age of 81. In this episode, Mick and Jimbo discuss such hits as “Galveston” and “Wichita Lineman” and “Rhinestone Cowboy,” among many others.


Episode 11: Joe Cocker

Joe left us in December of 2014, but he left a legacy of gritty, spasmodic performances. He was one of a kind. He came to our attention with his cover of “A Little Help From My Friends” in 1968, and continued popping up in the public consciousness for years, culminating in a 1983 Grammy Award for the number one “Up Where We Belong.” He is listed at #97 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Singers” list. In this episode, Mick and Jim talk about “A Little Help…” as well as Joe’s take on “The Letter” and “Feelin’ Alright.”
