Glen Campbell was a talented fellow. He got a good long life, and was among the most successful recording artists of all time. A sad end with Alzeimers. I had some of his records when I was a kid.

 Not really music, just an emotive American wail... :tea:
Scot Dutchy, you've changed! I didn't recognize you with that Ozzy accent!
Plenty of Oz country music as well. Equally crap... :tea:

This guy is good. Sturgill Simpson produced the album and does backing guitar and vocals.
