Wichita Lineman was reissued in an upgraded, remastered CD edition in August of 2001 as part of Capitol-Nashville's Cornerstones series, with somewhat crisper sound than the 1996 vintage Capitol CD.

As an interpreter of the detail-rich vignettes of songwriter Jimmy Webb, Campbell articulated dense lyrical narratives with emotional clarity.
A highpoint of Campbell's long career, Wichita Lineman was the third of four career-making albums (along with Gentle on My Mind, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, and Galveston).
Along with the title cut, the 1969 album features another massive Campbell potboiler, "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife." The rest of album surveys songs written by everyone from Otis Redding to Sony Bono to the Reverend Billy Graham.
