Campbell's Finale

GENTLE ON OUR MINDS: Legendary singer/songwriter Glen Campbell has been diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s Disease, but that isn’t stopping him from releasing what he’s calling “his final studio recording,” Ghost on the Canvas, for L.A. indie Surfdog Records, which hits Aug. 30. Among those contributing original songs to the collection are Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan, Guided by Voices’ Robert Pollard and Teddy Thompson, backed by a roster of players that includes Chris Isaak, Dick Dale, Billy Corgan, Brian Setzer, Rick Nielsen, Roger Manning and The Dandy Warhols. The album was produced by Julian Raymond, who also co-wrote a number of new songs with Campbell. He will cap his extraordinary five-decade-plus career with a worldwide series of concerts, dubbed "The Glen Campbell Goodbye Tour." A complete itinerary will be announced shortly. (6/22p)
