Análisis (en inglés) - :
After nearly two decades as a staple of the {@Capitol Records} roster, {$Glen Campbell} jumped ship to the {@Atlantic America} imprint. Released in 1982, {^Old Home Town} -- his first of three projects for the label -- is very much a reflection of the burgeoning MOR countrypolitan style that was taking over the genre. As the name intimates, {^Old Home Town} is a reunion of sorts. {$Campbell} is joined behind the scenes by producer {$Jerry Fuller}, who was a fellow bandmate in the surf-rock guitar group {$the Champs}. The selections recall the style and substance of his earlier LPs. Among them are some familiar names, primarily a trio of well-known singer/songwriters. {$Jimmy Webb} supplies the lovely waltz-time ballad {&"I Was Too Busy Loving You,"} while {$David Pomeranz}'s affective and winsome {&"Old Home Town"} was chosen as the title and the album's leadoff track. {$Campbell}'s take of the {$Paris Sisters} hit {&"I Love How You Love Me"} is refreshingly modern, with an arrangement that allows {$Campbell} the opportunity to dust off his sturdy yet angelic falsetto. However, it is the inspired update of {$Paul McCartney}'s {&"Mull of Kintyre"} that stands out from the rest. {$Campbell}'s earnest vocals draw upon his skills as an effective interpreter of sacred songs. Additionally, the multi-instrumentalist shows off a hidden talent for the bagpipes. Yes, the bagpipes. To a certain degree, the bluesy {&"On the Wings of My Victory"} is infused with a soul-filled gospel flavor that few other country & western artists could genuinely replicate. Speaking of, {&"Blues (My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me)"} has a jazzy ragtime feel that almost summons the style of {$Django Reinhardt}'s work with {$the Quintette du Hot Club de France}. Comparatively harder driving is {&"A Few Good Men,"} one of two tunes contributed by {$Joe Rainey}, who is arguably best known for the rural slice of life {&"I Love My Truck"} -- which {$Campbell} had actually covered several years earlier. Some purists considered this phase of {$Campbell}'s career as more water-treading than groundbreaking and his pop leanings no substitute for the earthier fare of {$Waylon Jennings}, {$Willie Nelson}, and the so-called "outlaw" contingency. However, in reality {$Campbell} was simply maintaining an approach that had garnered him attention for the past 20 years. The trend would continue on his 1983 follow-up, {^Letter to Home}, as {$Campbell} headed away from Nashville West in favor of the real thing. He landed in Music City U.S.A. supported by a star-studded cast that boasted down-home participation from {$David Briggs} (keyboards), {$Jerry Douglas} (Dobro), and {$Emmylou Harris} (vocals). ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide
