The album 'It's the World Gone Crazy' was released in 1981 by Capitol Records, continuing Glen Campbell's collaboration with producer Gary Klein. Recording sessions took place between 1980 and 1981, again in Los Angeles studios, aiming for a sound accessible to contemporary radio.
The lead single, 'It's the World Gone Crazy', was released but did not achieve significant chart impact, reaching only number 72 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The album also did not repeat the success of earlier works, reflecting the changing music industry of the early 1980s.
Despite its modest commercial reception, the album showcases Campbell's versatility as a performer, including covers of songs by other artists and original material. Klein's production maintained a polished style, although the record failed to chart on the main country album lists.
