Description:

Talk about wish fulfillment. On Glen Campbell: In Concert, the lanky Arkansan and hit-making juggernaut of the 1960s and '70s proves the perfect steward of his own grand musical legacies. Drawing deep from his formidable crossover talents and different chapters of his career (Kennedy-era pop idol, part-time Beach Boy, peerless session guitarist, Nixon-era eclectic folkie, etc.), Campbell painstakingly re-creates the soul and substance of his immortal, pop-country chart toppers. Though produced as nostalgic fodder for PBS pledge drives, In Concert becomes instead a chance for the charismatic artist (backed by the Sioux Falls Symphony Orchestra) to reenergize classic, pensive arrangements on "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife," "It's Only Make Believe," and (most rewardingly) a passel of Jimmy Webb gems (including "Wichita Lineman" and "MacArthur Park"). Classy but casual, In Concert is a lush pop triumph. --Tom Keogh
