Ill Be Me OST

Description

Soundtrack to the feature film honoring the Country Music Hall of Fame member

Honored in 2012 with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Country Music Hall of Fame member Glen Campbell has recorded his last song.

Im Not Gonna Miss You was written by Campbell and Julian Raymond specifically for a new documentary titled Glen Campbell: Ill Be Me. Produced by Raymond, the song was recorded in the Los Angeles-based Sunset Sound Factory and East West Recording Studios.

With a mere handful of piano chords, then a swell of harmonies, Im Not Gonna Miss You opens into the poignant, yet clear-eyed revelation of the things Alzheimers steals. Almost lumbering through the melody, Campbells weathered tenor confesses the painful truths of what is lost, the cost and the reality that it will all be lost to him, the man who cant remember. Pedal steel weeps, strings bathe the melody that rises against drums and an electric guitar that mirrors the unbreakable passage of life and time.

Glen Campbell: Ill Be Me is an epic human drama that intimately showcases the man and his music throughout Campbells struggle with Alzheimers. Chronicling the story of love, laughter, resilience and power of song, this film shows how against all odds, Americas 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).

Big Machine Records release of the film soundtrack also features The Band Perry, who previously paid tribute to Campbell during the 2012 Grammy Awards. The project also features Campbells daughter Ashley who performs an original song.

Big Machine is so honored to not only release Glen Campbells final recording, but to be associated with such a profound film that will help raise awareness of those suffering from Alzheimers and spotlight the important role of those who care for them, remarked Big Machine Label Group President & CEO Scott Borchetta, who serves as the projects Executive Producer with Keach.

Additionally, several of todays 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.
