You're right! Released smack in the middle of the '70s in 1975! Glen was an amazing guitarist. Seems he played with Elvis at some point along his journey. I always thought "Rhinestone cowboy" simply meant a country musician who wants to be taken seriously and dazzle in the lights of centerstage!
Glen Campbell was big late 1960's to about 1972. A cowboy singer loved by the anti rock movement. A brilliant guitar player, not gonna mention his singing / yodeling again. lol You are a serious musician and serious about these reviews. SO....here are 4 Aussie videos you must experience. 1) When Something is Wrong With My Baby......soul cover by Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham.....live is best, either from Hey Hey Its Saturday or the ARIA awards night. 2) Jimmy Barnes with Joe Bonamassa.....Stone Cold ( live in a studio ) 3) Kasey Chambers Eminem cover....Lose Yourself 4) John Farnham......Gethsemane from the 1990's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Always live for these artists and their bands . In ozz if you cant do it live, we dont buy and you dont get a contract......well, used to be that way. Now the country is full of uni graduates flipping burgers and listening to computer sounds via ear buds. lol
There is an interesting remix and new fascinating take on the song by Rikki and Daz featuring Glen Campbell himself made in 2002 27 years after the original.
If you have seen pictures of seventies country singers in outfits called "Nudie Suits" (named after the designer, nothing to do with nudes), you will understand the reference to a rhinestone cowboy. The suckers were epically bedazzled western wear 😂. Google a photo of Porter Wagoner for an example.
He is visualizing his hopeful future
