Title track from Adios. After Glen Campbells 2011 Alzheimers diagnosis, which he followed with the Goodbye Tour and the documentary film Ill Be Me chronicling both, the performer returned to the recording studio one final time to leave family, friends and fans worldwide a remarkable gift.
Adios, the final studio album from the six-time Grammy winner, spotlights some of Campbells favorite songs, most of which he had never recorded before. But rather than a collection of mere musical afterthoughts, the LP stands among Campbells best. Heartbreaking and imbued with poignancy, but sung with the same pure, sparkling vocals that are a distinguishing hallmark.
