Glen Campbell Documentary Coming to Theaters Soon

The first record I owned was Glen Campbell's 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' I’ve loved Glen Campbell since I was a kid and had the chance to see him just before I moved here, but made the decision to pack instead. I regret that choice because I'll never have the chance to see him again- except for on the big screen.

Glen Campbell was one of country music's first true crossover superstars and now a documentary about his farewell tour is coming to a limited theatrical run.

Director James Keach and his film crew followed Glen on his Goodbye Tour.  The film documents his life onstage and off during the tour, during which he sometimes visibly struggled with the music he had performed for his entire adult life.

The 78-year-old music legend began his career as a session player in Los Angeles, playing on recordings by the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Simon & Garfunkel and many more.

After a stint replacing Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys' live shows, Glen went on to an enormously successful run of solo hits that included 'Gentle on My Mind,' 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix,' 'Wichita Lineman' and the career-defining 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' He also hosted a variety show, 'The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,' on CBS for four seasons.

'I'll Be Me' is the name of the documentary about Glen and features commentary from fellow musicians Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift and Vince Gill, as well as friends and fans like Steve Martin, Bruce Springsteen, U2's the Edge, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Webb, Jay Leno and Bill Clinton. The premiered at the Nashville Film Festival in April and is set to open in a limited theatrical release in New York and Nashville on Oct. 24.
