Glenn Ross Campbell (born April 28, 1946) is a child prodigy
steel guitarist, most noted for being lead guitarist of cult band,
The Misunderstood, a
psychedelic rock band that originated in
Riverside, California in the mid-1960s. The band moved to London early in their career, and although they recorded only a handful of songs before being forced to disband, they are considered highly influential in the then-emerging genre. Influenced by
The Yardbirds, the distinctive feature of their sound was Campbell's
steel guitar.
Rolling Stone Magazine (Issue 956) in a September 2, 2004 review describe the Misunderstood's Campbell as "
Jeff Beck and
Jimmy Page rolled into one.".
