It isn’t accurate to call Glen Campbell “pure country,” but his smooth
fusion of country mannerisms and pop melodies and production techniques
made him one of the most popular country musicians of the late ’60s and
’70s.  Campbell was one of the leading figures of country-pop during
that era, racking up a steady stream of Top Ten singles, highlighted by
classics like “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “I Wanna Live,” “Wichita
Lineman,” “Galveston,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and “Southern Nights.”
Boasting Campbell’s smooth vocals and layered arrangements, where steel
guitars bounced off sweeping strings, those songs not only became
country hits, the crossed over to the pop charts as well, which was
appropriate, since that is where he began his musical career.
Originally, he was a Los Angeles session musician, playing on hits by
the Monkees, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Merle Haggard.  By the
end of the ’60s, he had become a successful solo artist, and that
success would not abate until the late ’80s, when he stopped having
radio hits and began concentrating on live performances at his theater
in Branson.

Glen joins Shadoe via satellite from Pepperdine University in Malibu

Southern rock unit the Outlaws was formed in Tampa, FL in 1972 by singers/guitarists Hughie Thomasson and Henry Paul, bassist Frank O’Keefe, and drummer Monte Yoho. With the 1973 addition of guitarist Billy Jones, the lineup was complete, and after a year of intense touring the band became the first act signed to Arista under Clive Davis; the Outlaws’ self-titled 1975 album spotlighted their Eagles-influenced harmonies and Allman Brothers-like guitar attack, yielding the Top 40 hit “There Goes Another Love Song.” In the wake of 1977’s Bill Szymczyk-produced Hurry Sundown, both Paul and O’Keefe exited, with guitarist Freddie Salem, bassist Harvey Dalton Arnold, and second drummer David Dix signing on for the 1978 concert set Bring It Back Alive and the studio effort Playin’ to Win. Salem was the next to go, and the lineup shuffles continued when Arnold announced his departure following 1979’s In the Eye of the Storm, with bassist Rick Cua recruited for the next year’s Ghost Riders in the Sky, which netted a Top 40 entry with its title track, a rendition of the Vaughn Monroe favorite. Yoho left to rejoin Henry Paul soon after, and with the subsequent exit of Jones, only Thomasson remained from the original Outlaws roster * not surprisingly, the group disbanded upon completing 1982’s Los Hombres Malo. A year later Thomasson and Paul formed a new Outlaws lineup, adding guitarist Chris Hicks, bassist Barry Borden, and drummer Jeff Howell; after issuing 1986’s Soldiers of Fortune, Paul again quit the band, with the remaining quartet returning in 1993 with Hittin’ the Road. While Paul resurfaced in 1994 in the chart-topping contemporary country band Blackhawk, Thomasson later toured with the reformed Lynyrd Skynyrd while continuing to lead the Outlaws, releasing So-Low in 2000. Sadly, Jones and O’Keefe died within three weeks of one another in early 1985. Hughie joins Shadoe Steele from the Missouri Ozarks.
