Vince Gill didn't need coaxing to perform on a new CD with Little Feat. He says they're his favorite band. Plus, he says he's known them forever. He says ``We've been friends and I've jammed with them plenty. Those guys were inspiring to me.'' The new CD features Little Feat singing their classics with special guests like Gill, as well as Brooks and Dunn, Brad Paisley, Jimmy Buffett and Emmylou Harris.

Campbell says, ``It really is hard to mess up a good song,'' adding ``they just lay there great.'' Campbell also covers U2, Tom Petty and John Lennon on the CD entitled ``Meet Glen Campbell.'' He says he had never heard a lot of the songs. He started with about 200 tunes and whittled it down. He says, ``I just picked the ones that I liked, that I wanted to sing.'' So what's the meaning behind the album's title ``Meet Glen Campbell''? He says ``it's just another side of me coming out.'' The guys started to have a laugh about this, until they listened to the music. It is actually very good. Glen can still sing and does justice to all these tunes. Check it out!
Glen Campbell says to have John Lennon's song, ``Grow Old With Me,'' on his new CD is ``the cherry on the ice cream.'' He says ``to find that song was just fabulous.'' He says it was actually Lennon's widow Yoko Ono who brought the song to the table. Campbell's new CD of cover songs was released this week. He also covers tunes by Foo Fighters, Green Day, Tom Petty and U2 on the album, called ``Meet Glen Campbell.''
