The first Top 40 record (and the first country Top 5) for Glen Campbell. He heard the original Johnny Rivers version of this Jimmy Webb song and said to himself, “I can do this and do it well.” It’s possible to drive from L.A. to Phoenix to Albuquerque to Oklahoma, but that Phoenix/Albuquerque stretch would be tough late at night. The more direct route is straight through Flagstaff on I-40, but I guess Phoenix works better lyrically. Poetic license. A Wrecking Crew record all the way.
