Glen Campbell has signed a one-off deal with Universal South Records for a two-CD set due June 8. "Love Is the Answer: 24 Songs of Faith, Hope and Love" contains one disc of pop standards and one of gospel songs.

The country icon was recently the subject of a four-disc career retrospective released by EMI.

Earlier in May, Campbell pleaded guilty to "extreme" drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident in connection with a November collision near his Phoenix home. Under the plea bargain, he faces a 10-day jail term with eligibility for work furlough after 48 hours.

Universal South has also signed former Arista Nashville act Lee Roy Parnell , who was last on Billboard's country albums chart in 1999. Former Sony artist Charlie Robison has signed with Dualtone Records in Nashville, while Rounder Records has signed bluegrass group the Grascals.
