Country-pop singer Glen Campbell dominated the country and Top 40 charts in the late '60s and early '70s thanks to plaintive Jimmy Webb-penned classics like "Galveston," "Wichita Lineman," and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." Though none of these early Campbell chart-toppers are included in this 24-song collection of Campbell's covers of Webb compositions, Reunited is an obscure minor masterpiece all the same. Campbell's soulful renditions of fine songs like "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress," "Highwayman," and "Lightning in a Bottle" not only remind us of Webb's timelessness as a songwriter, but also of Campbell's oft-overlooked gifts as a subtle song interpreter. --Bob Allen

Webb + Campbell...Five Stars

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

Great album. Jimmy Webb writes terriffic songs. Glenn Campbell has a great voice for singing songs. This record is a marriage made in heaven. Galveston,Witchita Lineman and By the Time I Get to Phoenix are some of the best pop songs of the 20th century.
I think you'll like it.

Reunited with Reunion

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2000

From the first tune, the chills came back. And when Glen rips into the words early on in Just This One Time, I was back to the old chair with the vinyl on the stereo. The tunes are a testament to Webb's remarkable writing and arranging talents. He puts himself up for all to see and speaks as if he has read my thoughts. Such a long lost treasure found again....thanks to the Aussies for put it all together! Now I must get back to listening...and smiling!

A Perfect Match

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2005

Say what you will about Glen Campbell the man has one heck of a voice. Although his material often borders on, and, on occasion, crosses the "corny" line. Not so in his collaborations with the great Jimmy Webb. For a more perfect marriage of songwriter and singer, you'd have to go to Bacharach/Warwick or Carole King/Dusty Springfield.

This album is a veritable treasure trove of some of the most beautiful, yet obscure, Jimmy Webb songs. Webb's lyrics have always astounded me - so much depth for such a young man(barely out of his teens at the time). Jimmy Webb wrote some of the most poignantly mature lyrics(and, to an extent, melodies)to ever be recorded in the 20th Century. There are songs on this album - "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress", "You Might As Well Smile" - which are so sophisticated yet heart rending that you just might find your eyes welling up.

In the late 60's and early 70's, Jimmy Webb had no real competition when it came to writing songs of lost love. And, Glen Campbell's huge vocal range just serves the songwriter's intent like a hand in a glove. It's nothing short of a blessing that these 2 men worked together so well.

If you purchase no other Jimmy Webb and/or Glen Campbell album, you owe it to yourself to savor this musical feast. It's that good! But, don't take my word for it - hearing is believing.

An inexpensive time machine

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2001

Words have been crafted in previous reviews which dwarf my abilities yet I must include the following information: "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" is one song which justifies the price of admission. No other singer has ever approached Glen's interpretation of this haunting tune. The song was included on Capitol's "The Very Best of Glen Campbell" Lp when originally released but was sadly missing when the album went to cd. Raven has given us the opportunity to hear not only the entire original album but has included a number of stunning bonus cuts as well. This cd is a treasure for all Glen Campbell-Jimmy Webb fans. Campbell's voice is as clear and plaintiff as ever and no words can describe Webb's genious. Listen for yourself. Hats off to Raven!

The Reborn Glen

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2005

The assiduous Glenn A Baker has again dug deep into the archives to unearth 14 bonus tracks to tack onto the superb,'Reunion' album of Webb and Campbell from 1974. Liner notes speak of Campbell's 'raw, impassioned quality' on those initial 30 minutes. With Webb more restrained at the keyboard, the balance with the singer is just right. The album kicks off with a sensational reading of Lowell George's,'Roll me Easy'. He could not have avoided hearing George's sumptuous, swaggeringly sensual version, doing the rounds at the time. Campbell triumphs, however, with a vigour I'd never heard from him until this moment. Until Webb's,'Archives' was released(with the unavailability of his masterly,'Land's End') it was difficult to access the superb,'Just This One Time'. 'The Moon's A Harsh Mistress' is another achingly sweet work, every bit as seductive as the better known version by Art Garfunkle. And,'It's a Sin' is a scorching finale to the original set. The bonus stuff is not up to its meter.'Highwayman' and'Love Song' are both more convincing on Webb's CDs. Only,'Light Years' and,'If These Walls Could Speak' hint at the glory attained in the preceeding, reunion. They are not poor pop or country by current standards. But they are not the high octane Campbell of this one outing which cut him from the plethora of competent cowboy singers of his day.

Dylan has the Byrds & Jimmy Webb has Glen Campbell

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2005

Of all the great song writers whose work is best interpreted by someone else, only the Byrds doing Bob Dylan can outdo Glen Campbell's covers of Jimmy Webb tunes.

This CD is made up of the 1974 Campbell-Webb "Reunion" album and fourteen "bonus" tracks. (You get a lot for your money.)

On a solid CD full of great music, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" stands out as the best, as beautiful a song as any that Jimmy Webb has ever written, and Glen Campbell's version sends shivers up the spine. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" reminds me a lot of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Last Time I Saw Her Face" (which Campbell has covered), and, like the Lightfoot song, the lyrics are stronger than the music.

Another stand out track is "Christiaan No," Webb's ode to his son (Campbell's Godson).

This is one of those CDs that you can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a tune. Sitting back and enjoying music like this is one of life's great pleasures.

My all-time favorite album ~ with bonus tracks no less!

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2003

Jimmy Webb is the quintessential great American poet and Glen Campbell is the only voice alive who knows Jimmy Webb's heart well enough to vocalize it this well! This is a beautiful album - every lyric and every note!! How's this for poetry? "I remember times when you held me. You'd freeze my spine. We were lookin' in the mirror at the time; I got confused and I thought your eyes were mine..." GOOSEBUMPS I TELL YOU! In addition to the great songs from the original Reunion CD, there are bonuses on this compilation like Still Within the Sound of My Voice and the ONLY VERSION of The Highwayman that is worth listening to is by Glen Campbell (I mean, I like Willie and Johnny and Waylon as well as the next person, but Glen just GETS IT, you know?). Another favorite is Light Years...one man feels what he writes down to his very bones and the other one sings what he feels down to his soul...you simply cannot go wrong with this CD (program your player to skip the song In Cars...ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY, And what ever you do - BUY THIS!!!

Campbell meets Webb

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

Glen Campbell's United album is one of the best compilation albums I've ever bought. It's a lot better than the other compilation ablum, Sings the Best of Jimmy Webb 1967-1992. It has 10 tracks from Reunion album plus 14 bonus tracks. They are pure gems and lesser known songs written for Campbell by one of the finest song writers, Jimmy Webb. I think this whole album is very cohesive in terms of selection. The songs flow from one to another smoothly throughout the album. I'm glad to say that this album does not include major hits such as "By the time I get to Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", and "Galveston". I was tired of seeing these tracks in every Campbell's album although they are his famous hits. In my opinion, the songs in this album which didn't get No 1 on the chart are the finest performances of Campbell's career. The whole album, in summary, is so sumptuous and Jimmy Webb's love ballads are just gorgeous to listen to again and again.
