Glen Campbell’s step-out on the Grammys last weekend was deemed one of the Least Boring Moments of the show, where the retiring singer took the stage with swagger and lifted what could have been a sappy moment into a highlight. Earlier this month, Campbell re-released Meet Glen Campbell in a deluxe edition, featuring new bonus tracks, and to celebrate we’re giving away a Campbell-signed Fender Squier. To enter, you need be a fan of Stereogum on Facebook and comment with your favorite Glen Campbell song via Facebook Connect (do not use your ‘Gum user account on this post — we’ll have to be able to check if you are a fan of Stereogum on FB when the sweepstakes ends). There’s a shot of the guitar after the jump and the winner also gets the deluxe edition on CD. Sweepstakes ends 2/29 at 6 PM EST.
The reissued Meet Glen Campbell is out now on Capitol/EMI and available at iTunes.

By The Time I Get To Phoenix
My favorite song is Rhinestone Cowboy, but only because I routinely commute to work riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo.
Galveston. Fo sho.
All i want is you
The Universal Solder, because I love ‘merica and hate the Ruskies.
Rhinestone Cowboy! DUN DUN
It is a difficult choice to make but I would have to say “Wichita Lineman” because of the sustained phrase “still on the Liiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeee”
My favorite song is Rhinestone Cowboy.
Witchita Lineman!
Gentle on My Mind
Wichita Lineman! Love it!
Rhinestone Cowboy. Always reminds me of my grandfather.
wichita lineman is my fav from my childhood
There is just something about Rhinestone Cowboy that screams Glen Cambell and as an Arizona resident, it means so much more to the Cowboy state.
Galveston.
I got reintroduced to Glen Campbell through “”Meet Glen Campbell”, and being a huge Travis fan, LOVED his rendition of “Sing”.
Yet, on that album, there is one more superior cover, and that is “All I Want Is You”.
I know it’s not a Glen Campbell song, per se, but that is definitely my favorite.
Rhinestone Cowboy!
rhinestone cowboy
Galveston! :)
went to the effort of getting Campbell’s autograph and it’s on a fucking Squire?
it’s dorky, but i love “Bowling Green”.
Love the “Sing” cover, but I’ll also go with “Rhinestone Cowboy”.
I really dig the stuff he did with Bobbie Gentry, but it’s hard to go against “Rhinestone Cowboy”. The song is a classic among classics.
Rhinestone Cowboy
“Hey Little One”
Wichita Lineman!

My Favorite Glen Campbell song is definitely, Rhinestone Cowboy. I also loved his TV show, Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour! ; D
“Gentle on My Mind”
My favorite song is “Rhinestone Cowboy”
Rhinestone Cowboy
May be a cliche answer, but “Wichita Lineman”.
Even though he didn’t write it, I really like his cover of Tom Petty’s “Walls” from the “Meet Glen Campbell” album. He took a sort of minor Tom Petty single, that probably should have been bigger, and then added some “Rhinestone Cowboy” type production to it. Sounds like a mess on paper, but it turned out really good in my opinion.
Rhinestone Cowboy!!!
Wichita Linemen!
Wichita Lineman
“Southern Nights”.
Rhinestone Cowboy, of course.
Rhinestone Cowboy!
witchita lineman of course!!!!!
Rhinestone Cowboy
So hard to choose. Love Wichita Lineman but have to go with Rhinestone Cowboy. it was the first radio song i liked and I used to sing it in the tub when i was 3 years old. Plus Radiohead went on to cover it. Thanks Glen.
Rhinestone Cowboy
Rhinestone Cowboy!
Wow!! Win a signed Glen Campbell Fender…fuck…Squier
My favorite Glen Campbell tune is his signature song, Rhinestone Cowboy.
Rhinestone Cowboy
Galveston
Yeah, almost any of his songs could sound cliche’, but they’re all classics. I’ll go with “Southern Nights”.
Wichita Lineman, of which Steve Hogarth of Marillion regularly does a haunting piano version in his solo shows. Very emotional
By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Rhinestone Cowboy is my all time fav, i remember my dad and I danceing to it in the living room when i was young.
Galveston.
Wichita Lineman
I have a slightly obscure choice, “Guess I’m Dumb” which was one of Brian Wilson’s rare non-Beach Boys productions in the ’60s. If you’ve never heard it, you should check it out, especially if you’re a Beach Boys fan. It’s very Pet Sounds-esque and Campbell’s vocal on it is incredible.
When I was about 10, My parents took us on a 3 day drive to my Grandmas house in Old Mexico. They had a double 8 track collection called Country Crossovers that had By The Time I get To Pheonix on it. mustve heard that song 150 times on that trip and whenever i hear it it reminds me of those times.
Wichita Lineman
Southern Nights!
Galveston. Faux Show!
Delta Dawn with Helen Reddy is great! Also, it is hard to take anything away from Wichita Lineman! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ktEIFZh1o&feature=results_video&playnext=1list=PL218480EC68605B94
I must be dumb.
Universal Soldier
Gentle On My Mind
Always was, is and will be Wichita Lineman
Rhinestone Cowboy!
Wichita Lineman. Without a doubt.
galveston.
How can I choose? By the time I get to Phoenix I think. My husband is losing touch like Glen so the performance the other night was especially poignant…we grew up with Glen. Special man, special gift.
Gentle On My Mind
So many great songs, definitely hard to pick a favorite… I really do enjoy Gentle On My Mind though.
Wichita Lineman for sure
Where Is The Playground Susie?
Wichita Lineman!
Rhinestone Cowboy
galveston!
Wichita Lineman makes me weepy.
Galveston
Poopbutt city
RHINESTONE COWBOY
Rhinestone Cowboy was the first record I ever got, so that was a favorite. Modern times though I enjoy Wichita Lineman quite a bit…
Wichita Lineman..no brainer.
Wichita Lineman was always my favorite
Has to be Witchita Lineman!
Wichita Lineman (was a song I once heard).
Rhinestone cowboy
The guy played on Pet Sounds, but my favorite track is either Gentle On My Mind or Wichita Lineman. I grew up w/ Glen Campbell. My dad was a HUGE fan, and now Campbell and my dad’s dad both have alzheimers.
