We all know Glen Campbell: the silken voice behind Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman, a mean guitarist and one of the most successful country artists of all time – one who shifted an astonishing 49 million albums. What most people don’t realize is that, before all of that, he was in the Beach Boys.
Campbell initially met the band during his time as a gun-for-hire in the LA session scene. Having moved West from his native Arkansas in 1960, he was already well-established as a key player among the infamous ‘Wrecking Crew’ studio pros when he featured on his first Beach Boys track Dance, Dance, Dance, in 1964.
