Glen Campbell Will Retire...But First...

He's working on a new album - "Ghost on the Canvas" which is reported to be his last. He's working with producer Julian Raymond who says this is "not your mother's Glen Campbell."

The album is inspired by the 2008 covers CD "Meet Glen Campbell" and will feature the likes of Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan, members of the Dandy Warhols, and former Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese.

Julian says that Glen (who's 74 in April) is, "playing guitar better than ever, singing and writing better than ever. It's really going to be a great final statement from him."

No release date yet as Glen doesn't have a label but is in talks with several to work out a distribution deal for "Ghost on the Canvas."

He is planning a farewell tour to support the album.
