Glen Campbell will be appearing on the grounds of the just-finished Coachella Festival and perform songs written by Paul Westerberg, John Lennon and Lou Reed.
Honest.
Maybe the former Beach Boy/TV star is taking a cue from Johnny Cash singing Nine Inch Nails or maybe he has had it with trying to update "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife," but the man who brought us "Galveston" and "Wichita Lineman" is turning to rock writers for "Meet Glen Campbell," his return to Capitol Records coming out Aug. 19.
The rebranding of Glen - recently known more for his bad driving and even worse mugshots than his '60s hits - begins Friday with his performance at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio. He will be joined by "special guests" to premiere select songs from the forthcoming album. 
Here are the tracks, accompanied by a Glen Campbell timeline.
"Jesus," recorded by the Velvet Underground in 1969 when Glen's "Galveston" was a No. 1 single and right about the time he became my very first celebrity sighting, buying golf balls in a department store in the San Fernando Valley.
"All I Want Is You," the U2 hit from 1989, the last time Glen was in the country chart - with "She's Gone, Gone, Gone.")
"Times Like These," the Foo Fighters' track from 2002 when Glen was recording a new version of "Rhinestone Cowboy" with a couple of Brit dance producers.
John Lennon's outtake from 1980's "Double Fantasy" sessions, "Grow Old With Me," which came out when Glen was mostly doing TV and sheds.
The Tom Petty obscurity "Angel Dream" from 1999, the year he was a VH1 "behind the Music" subject.
"Sadly Beautiful" from the Replacements's 1990 album "All Shook Down," a year into a period of sobriety and no recording for Campbell.
"Sing" was recorded by Travis in 2001, the year in which Campbell discovery Alan Jackson saw his popularity skyrocket after his post-9/11 ditty "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" debuted.
The Jackson Browne classic "These Days" which was first recorded by Nico in 1967 - the year of Glen's version of John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind" - and by Brown in 1973, a year ion which Glen covered Kinky Friedman and Hank Williams.
A second Petty track, "Walls (Circus)" comes from 1996, just two years after Glen published his autobiography and was working Branson, Mo. Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" came out a year later.
Featured on the album are Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Jason Faulkner from Jellyfish, and Chris Chaney.
