Glen Campbell with a cooking version of Gentle On My Mind – check that guitar solo!
Becky’s radio tribute to Glen, focused on his guitar work.
John Denver + Cass Elliot performing Leaving On A Jet Plane, featuring a blazing activist intro from Cass. Fun fact: the only rock/pop/whatever concert Becky’s mom had EVER been to before the 2000s was John Denver (Becky’s mom grew up in fascist Spain). And while we’re defending John Denver, here’s a great performance of Take Me Home, Country Roads – this is 100% a country song! And, to take it all the way back full circle, Cass guested on the Johnny Cash show, where they sang Buck Owens’s Act Naturally while she wore a Minnie Pearl hat.
Trailer for Heartworn Highways.
Trailer for Be Here To Love Me, the Townes doc.
