Honored in 2012 with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Country Music Hall of Fame member Glen Campbell has recorded his last song.
“I’m Not Gonna Miss You” was written by Campbell and Julian Raymond specifically for a new documentary titled Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. Produced by Raymond, the song was recorded in the Los Angeles-based Sunset Sound Factory and East West Recording Studios. The song will be released on Sept. 30 to all digital retailers.
Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me is a drama that intimately showcases the man and his music throughout Campbell’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. Chronicling the story of love, laughter, resilience and power of song, this film shows how against all odds, America’s greatest country star would not give up.
Directed and produced by James Keach (producer of Walk The Line) and produced by Trevor Albert (Groundhog Day), it will open in theaters in New York on Oct. 24, followed by a national release in 50 cities.
Big Machine Records will release a soundtrack for the film that also features The Band Perry, who previously paid tribute to Campbell during the 2012 Grammy Awards. The project also features Campbell’s daughter Ashley who performs an original song.
Previewing the full body of work, an EP will be released on Sept. 30 and include the following tracks:
1. I'm Not Gonna Miss You
2. Gentle On My Mind (performed by The Band Perry)
3. Home Again (performed by Ashley Campbell)
4. Wichita Lineman (Live from Ryman Auditorium)
5. A Better Place (Live from Ryman Auditorium)
A complete soundtrack featuring additional tracks from the film will be released later this fall.
Additionally, several of today’s biggest musical stars appear in the film to pay tribute to the legend including Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge (from U2), Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith, and The Band Perry.
