There was a brief period in the 1960s and early 70s when popular music encompassed across the board. Hence, cross-overs. There were standards like Sinatra, soul music, country and rock and roll like Jefferson Airplane. As time moved on, music became more segregated into marketing segments--but at one time one could listen to the radio and hear the likes of the stanards like Dean Martin, country like Glen Campbell and soul like the Temptations as well as Rock and Roll like the Beatles all in the same Top Ten line up for the week. Glen was a cross over from country to the pop charts... Today it seems as though music is sliced and diced in to smaller and smaller genres and marketing niches for good or ill. I can easily forgive DJ Pj-Roc for never hearing Glen Campbell, especially if he is a younger man unexperienced in hearing pop music that was expereinced throughout the country and encompassed many different genres. We shared a musical tapestry while at the same time we also enjoyed our particular genres. That shared experience--that tapestry--has been yanked away from us and is just one of the many instances of created divisions in this country. In a sense we are all the working man that Glen sings about up there on the pole in the summer Kansas heat as the ribbon of highway stretches out beyond the horizon.

When I hear this song, it takes me back to my childhood. I'm about 8-9 yrs old, we traveled a lot between the states visiting family, vacations, etc. My dad liked to drive at night, my mom beside him in the passenger seat, nodding off, my younger twin sisters asleep next to me in the back. I have a very clear memory of a cool night, my 6 yr old sister's head resting against my shoulder, the light of the moon shining on her blond hair, she smelled of baby shampoo and talcum powder. We were under a jet black sky dotted with stars and a full moon. My Dad was driving as the telephone poles clocked by. This song playing on our car stereo. I felt safe, happy, loved. Good times, approximately 53 yrs, or so, ago. I will play this song just to visit this precious moment in time. Although bittersweet and makes me cry, so worth it just to linger there for a few minutes one more time .

Please, let's also give accolades to Jimmy Webb for his outstanding songwriting. On every level, this song is perfectly imagined and actualized. The beautiful melody and chord progression are the perfect container for the excellent lyrics. I was in high school when it came out, just starting my own path of songwriting. I did then, and still do, consider this one of the most brilliant compositions to emerge from 1960s pop music. As for Glen Campbell, he threw his heart into it. That challenging octave leap at the end of the refrain is delivered with technical proficiency and ease, and energized by deep soulfulness. I've heard the song hundreds of times and it still takes my breath away. There are songs that make every songwriter think, "I wish I had written that". This is one of them.

I heard an interview with Glen where he asked Jimmy Webb for a song for the album he was working on. This was it, but Jimmy mentioned the song lyrics were not complete. He couldn’t work on it as he had other obligations. Glen went into the studio and recorded it anyway. Instead of a third verse, he used a baritone guitar borrowed from bassist Carol Kaye (look up The Wrecking Crew). Glen could absolutely shred guitar!

Glenn Campbell had success before this song, but he said when he first heard the playback of it in the recording studio, he knew it would be a huge number one hit, and it was. He was known mostly as great guitarist who was extremely popular on other peoples songs in the 60’s, but he became popular himself as a country artist. This song was huge in 1968 because it was one of the first times a country artist had a number one song on the pop charts.

The magic of the songwriting of Jimmy Webb, combined with the wonderful vocals of Glen Campbell takes me back to the late 1960's. I was in the 6th grade, Glen Campbell had a weekly TV show that I never missed, and also had a bit part in the mega hit Western movie called "True Grit", which John Wayne won the Academy award for best male actor. Glen sang the song for the movie "True Grit" as well. As for the song "Wichita Lineman", the lyrics are phenomenal! The line in particular that comes to my mind is, "And I Need You More Than Want You", wow... what great lyrics! Of the Jimmy Webb songs that Glen Campbell did this is my favorite, with "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" a very close second, because it's such a great contemporary ballad! At the time Glen Campbell was also considered a Pop Music Artist as well, and not just Country music. The Jimmy Webb songs that Glen Campbell did, got a huge a amount of air play at that time of AM radio! Let's also not forget Glen Campbell was a master guitar player! As good as the Webb/Campbell songs are, I believe "Gentle On My Mind" is Glen Campbell's BEST song, considered at the time both Pop and Country!

I'll tell where I was when I first heard this song - I was seven years old in Winston Salem NC in 1968 and I remember listening to it on the radio and being enthralled by it's sound - I used to get pocket change by picking up soda bottles lying around in empty lots and on roadsides. I saved up enough nickles to go into the corner drugstore/soda shop and buy the 45 single for this song with the beautiful color sleeve and the pre requisite adapter for the center hole to play it on a regular record player. It has a grand, almost baroque melancholy feeling to it that is hard to describe. I wore it out. Loved it and became an instant Glen Campbell fan. I was a lonely, introverted little boy that took every opportunity to "escape" into another world, to experience something, anything that was apart from my everyday reality and this did it for me. This song was my first "hit" and I still love "Wichita Lineman" and listen to it regularly. This song has a deep emotional and nostalgic value to me. Would love to be someone who hears it for the first time. Cheers!

I was a little girl when I first heard this song. Like all country music songs it told a story, this one about a man working as a lineman and thinking throughout his day about someone very dear to him. Now that I'm (much) older, I appreciate the story differently; I married a mechanic who goes to work every day and comes home to me every night for the last 42 years. This simple song holds a deeper message, Glen's voice takes you right to it.

My dad loved this song. He loved music, all kinds! I am so glad he encouraged me to do the same. This is actually a wonderful album. 😍

Pj, for me Cambell moves forward with this arrangement, towards some 60's sound. Heavier horns, more prominent strings, base. He stays inside the country sound channels, but opened up to a really cool sound. I just loved this song and still do, was great to hear you react to Mr. Cambell. P.S. The lines he referred to where power lines, "and if it snows that stretch down south, won't ever stand the strain" The strain or weight of snow piling up on power lines. Great work brother, can't wait to see you explore more of this great artist. 🙏🙏🙏

Glen Campbell was popular with all groups of music lovers in this period. There are few if any that can play the guitar as he does. A well-rounded individual loved by all.

Jimmy Webb wrote so many great songs for Glen but, this one just seems to outshine all of the rest…thanks for the review Cutter & Ms C

Hanging out at my grandma's house..just a kid. This takes me back there. I like your format of listening to the entire song before interrupting every three seconds.

If you want an awesome Glen Campbell performance, check out his concert in Sioux Falls, SD. Glen performed around the country, playing with symphonies. It's truly incredible! Why there are no reactions to it, I'm not sure. And the list of who he played with and for is practically endless. Would you believe Alice Cooper was one of his best friends? Eddie Van Halen asked Alice to get him a guitar lesson with Glen. Think about that for a minute. Eddie was at the top. But here he saw a talent, who had never had a guitar lesson, who had god given talent. Eddie knew it. I wish more people today would recognize that. There's a long list of those who did, like Elvis, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys (Glen was one for awhile), Mama's and the Papa's, it goes on and on. If you don't believe me, just start looking online. Willie, Cher, Sarah Vaughn, The Bee Gees, David Gates. There's so many more. Plus, my Scottish Broder can hoist the pipes with the best of them!

No one will ever do Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay like Oits Redding. I was not a fan of Glen Campbell but at age 68 I am beginning to appreciate his voice, his music and the man he was. Very talented without an accompanying EGO. A TRUE GENTLEMAN. BUT…. Otis Redding ..aww. I could listen to him for hours. I had an album of his greatest hits that I wore out….. Thanks for sharing this post. It was a pleasure.

My parents had that album when I was a kid. I love the entire album. He had so many amazing songs over his career. I'm going to suggest a few that might not get a lot of mention. He was a master musician. There are several videos of him playing amazing guitar riffs live. I'd suggest a live version of him doing "William Tell Overture" there are a few out there from 12-string electric to acoustic. His last album was Adios. He was far advanced in Alzheimer's but had wanted to do one last album. When he was having a good day, his family was able to make that happen. The album was recorded earlier but released shortly before his death. "Adios" and "Am I All Alone" are two worth a reaction from that album. It is not as well known, but amazing the sound of his voice even at such a late stage of Alzheimer's.

I'm 62. I can remember G.C. from my teen years, and have always been a big fan. His music has aged very well.(better than my self!) Good to meet someone else who appreciates his talent.

Glen Campbell suggestions: 'Try a Little Kindness.' 'Sunflower.' His other greatest hit would be 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' most likely.

I was 9 in 1968. I remember hearing this on the radio in our 58 cadillac. I loved it. For reasons i dont fully understand, it has always moved me very deeply, and sometimes to tears....my parents also liked it, I remember mom would turn it up in the car whenever it would come on. Im 64 now, and mom and dad are sadly gone, mom 89, dad 97. However I do have their old cadillac, its still on the road, and a big connection to them for me.

Love this song, and love a lot of his songs, I was only 1year old in 68, but I remember in 2nd grade every little boy was singing “like a rhinestone cowboy” hahaha. My husband and I took a drive to Witchita KS just for commemorating this song. Basically it is about a man working and all the fleeting thoughts that run through his head while he is working.

I was 11 years old and would play this every day on the jukebox at our family diner. We had several lineman who frequented for coffee and donuts at breakfast time and for lunch during their lunch break. I was not there at lunch time but I was in the morning. I am sure they loved this song until they heard it 500 times....LOL. Most of them, if not all, have gone onto the other side but they sure were a bunch of great guys!!
