Glen Campbell Duets: Ghost on the Canvas Sessions, which will be released on April 19, offers studio-created collaborative tracks featuring Elton John, Dolly Parton, Sting, Brian Wilson, Eric Clapton, Carole King, and others.
The 12-song collection features new vocal tracks by the various guest artists paired with the late Campbell’s original performances. Some artists also recorded new musical tracks for some songs, as AmericanSW reports.
The new project features updated renditions of 10 songs from Ghost on the Canvas. It also boasts reworked versions of two tunes from the soundtrack of the 2014 Campbell documentary I’ll Be Me. The film captured Campbell on his farewell tour while struggled with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist died of complications of the disease in 2017 at age 81.
In advance of the Glen Campbell Duets album, two tracks have been released digitally. One is the Jakob Dylan-penned “Nothing but the Whole Wide World” featuring Eric Clapton, and the other is a version of the 2009 Guided by Voices tune “Hold On Hope” featuring country star Eric Church.
“I’ve always admired Glen Campbell’s guitar playing and loved his singing,” Clapton said. “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.”
