Meet the New, Improved Glen Campbell
What appear to be strange song choices on paper are risks that pay off. His version of U2's "All I Want Is You" reveals a soulful voice that is not always apparent on country-influenced songs. Green Day's prom theme, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," has the potential to arrive as a tall glass of schmaltz, especially when served by a septuagenarian. Campbell keeps it sprightly and detached, and in the process makes the song something entirely new. Despite the treacly lyrics, his interpretation is forward-looking and surprisingly fresh.
