Life with My Father Glen Campbell Book

The Glen Campbell story is one of exceptional musical talent, a glittering career and a frequently disturbed personal life.Starting out as a studio musician Campbell contributed to countless Sixties and Seventies records. His solo career as a country singer produced the classic hits 'Galveston', 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix', 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Rhinestone Cowboy'.He had a successful US TV show and co-starred with John Wayne in the 1969 film version of True Grit but gradually came unravelled after a series of failed marriages and descent into serious substance abuse.Suffering short term memory loss even as he was inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005, Glen Campbell had few constants in his life. One of them was the co-author of this book, his daughter Debby who witnessed it all as a long-time member of his touring band and was even around for the start of his decline into Alzheimer's disease.It makes this loving but unflinching reminiscence of a multi-talented musician and country singer doubly poignant.Read More

He transitioned to film with John Wayne in 1969's True Grit, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005, and was awarded a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 2012. During his 50 years in show business, Campbell has released more than 70 albums selling more than 45 million copies. His hits include Galveston, and Rhinestone Cowboy. For the last twenty-four years, Debby has been by her father's side, as a part of his concert touring act, as well as a supportive part of his family. She has been with her dad through his four wives, through drug and alcohol addiction, and now through the shattering beginnings of Alzheimer's disease. In Burning Bridges, Debby Campbell writes her story of a father and his devoted daughter from her heart, and from her diary. She has shared some of the most rewarding years in her father's life. And now, for the first time, she blows the lid off of all of Glen Campbell's family secrets. It is about a family bound together by Glen's talent. Debby will discuss the marriages, the drink and the drugs, the illness and her sacking, as well as Glen Campbell's many successes. In her frank family memoir Debby Campbell sets the record straight on a daughter's love for her talented father, with the full knowledge that she is about to start burning some bridges of her own.
