Glen Campbell: Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (Green Day Cover) (Video)
Apparently country legend Glen Campbell has a covers album coming out on August 5 (via Capitol), titled Meet Glen Campbell, that features some pretty oddball covers (at least for a country star) including covers of The Replacements, Velvet Underground, Travis, and two Tom Petty tracks. But perhaps the weirdest (but the on that makes the most sense) is Green Day’s “Good Riddance.”
The song was essentially a country song to begin with (with it’s lonesome wistfulness for the past), but it was performed by snotty punks from California. All Campbell has to do is turn up the twang and cut loose (you can hear it by watching the video preview above).
Meet Glen Campbell track list:
01 "Sing" (Travis)
02 "Walls" (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers)
03 "Angel Dream" (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers)
04 "Times Like These" (Foo Fighters)
05 "These Days" (Jackson Browne)
06 "Sadly Beautiful" (The Replacements)
07 "All I Want Is You" (U2)
08 "Jesus" (Velvet Underground)
09 "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" (Green Day)
10 "Grow Old With Me" (John Lennon)

Evidently the writer of the post above has a very limited knowledge of pop music. Anyone who knows anything about the pop music of the sixties and seventies knows Glen Campbell is (was) essentially a pop singer. Not too much twang in the very sophisticated "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman" or "Galveston". Virtuoso vocals and musicianship,yes. Twang, no. It's little wonder everyone from Michael Stipe to Stone Temple Pilots have expressed their admiration for this super talent.

CAMPBELL HAS JUST BUTCHERED IT
pull this off the air waves

Brilliant cover. If you want to hear the same ol' Green Day version, listen to it! I love Glen's interpretation. Get over it. Though I appreciate Billy Joe Armstrong's talent, he couldn't even lift Glen Campbell's guitar pick.
