Rehabilitating the sound and vision that created a musical legend - let's call it the Johnny Cash American Recordings model - is now standard practice for artists in their advanced years. The latest recipient is Glen Campbell, whose first 'renaissance', 2008 covers album Meet Glen Campbell, was intermittently great, and strangely disconnected (knowing committed Christian Glen was singing The Velvet Underground's Jesus straight was an especially weird, if compelling, sensation). But guided again by producer Julian Raymond, former vice president of Capitol Records, home of Campbell's finest recordings in the late 60s, Ghost on the Canvas is the real deal, musical and emotionally true and sometimes devastating, on a par with Cash's performance on Hurt. It turns out Campbell has early stages Alzheimer's, and Raymond's lyrics for the album's five co-composed songs were based on comments the singer made while recording the previous album. In other words, we finally get to meet Glen Campbell.
