mcpapa Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Close, but not quite. Loved his variety show back in the day. The "Blaze Glory" skits were classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe his problem is some didn't see him as country but kind of a crossover to pop, like Dolly, who should get consideration, also. Conway Twitty and Charlie Rich, it is tough to pick 4.

Conway Twitty and Charlie Rich, it is tough to pick 4. On spot with this post. Honestly, I was a little surprised when people kept referring to him as a country singer when the news of his death came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Brad Paisley says so, I say not. I liked him, but no. Hank Williams Johnny Cash Merle Haggard Loretta Lynn That is a solid 4 and Ranger La Boeuf as great as he is doesn't make the Country Music Mt. Rushmore. Maybe George Jones for Merle, maybe not...that's tough. The carvings are complete on Williams, Cash and Lynn, there is still a little discussion on the fourth but it's not Campbell...and I love me some Glen Campbell.

Conway Twitty and Charlie Rich, it is tough to pick 4. Dolly would absolutely make a Country Music Female Mt Rushmore along with Cline, Lynn and Wynette.

Science Friction Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Been a tough day . Simply put, Campbell was probably the best studio musician ever. AS a guitarist, he ranks right up there with the greats. Played guitar on songs of other great performers, including Elvis' Viva Las Vegas and the Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling . Glen was a consummate entertainer. The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour was great fun. Whether or not he would be on the Mt Rushmore of country greats is up for debate. However, when it comes to the Mt Rushmore of studio musicians, Glen towers over the others, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they owned studio music. If a performer or performers wanted things done they contacted the Wrecking Crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
