Big Machine Records and Surfdog Records have announced a reimagining of the late Glenn Campbell’s 2011 album, Ghost on the Canvas, out on April 19th.

Titled Glen Campbell Duets – Ghost on the Canvas Sessions, the star-studded project pairs the Rhinestone Cowboy’s original vocals with newly recorded contributions from the likes of Brian Wilson, Carole King, Dolly Parton, Elton John, and Dave Stewart. Also featured on the album are Hope Sandoval, Linda Perry, Sting, Brian Setzer, Daryl Hall, Eric Church, and Eric Clapton. Pre-orders are ongoing.

As a preview of the record, you can hear the reworkings of “Hold on Hope” with Church and “Nothing But the Whole Wide World” with Clapton below.

At the time of its release, the original Ghost on the Canvas was billed as Campbell’s farewell album. It saw the country legend teaming with a younger generation of songwriters, including Paul Westerberg, Guided by Voice’s Bob Pollard, and Jakob Dylan. In addition, Billy Corgan, Dick Dale, members of The Dandy Warhols, Josh Freese, and Setzer contributed instrumentation.

Campell died in August 2017 at the age of 81 following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s. His final album, Adiós, was released that June.
