Jakob Dylan and members of Guided By Voices and The Replacements have written songs for the final album from country legend Glen Campbell.

The ‘Wichita Lineman’ star is bowing out of the music industry after a six-decade career, but not before releasing one final album, ‘Ghost On The Canvas’. The album is released on August 31.

As well as his extensive solo career, Campbell was part of the session guitar team the Wrecking Crew, who were the ensemble of choice for Phil Spector. He also played on albums by Frank Sinatra, The Monkees and Dean Martin, as well as guesting on The Beach Boys‘ seminal ‘Pet Sounds’.
