Sings the Best of Jimmy Webb 1967-1992
For the GLEN CAMPBELL and JIMMY WEBB aficionado, and fans of great pop song writing in general, Raven presents the ideal showcase of this legendary singer/songwriter partnership. These 24 tracks, recorded between 1967 and 1992, are masterful examples of the craft of song writing at its most unique and enticing. During the late 1960s, the names of Campbell, the distinctive voiced singer, and Webb, the brilliant young songwriter (who had already written hits for Richard Harris and the 5th Dimension), were often spoken in the same breath. Webb provided Campbell with such classics as By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, Galveston and Honey Come Back, all significant hits around the world. The collaboration continued across the albums Reunion, Bloodline, Southern Nights, Highwayman and Still within the Sound of My Voice, all represented here by superb tracks such as The Moon's a Harsh Mistress, Highwayman, Lightning in a Bottle and Light Years. Glen Campbell Sings The Best of Jimmy Webb 1967-1992 is a perfect listening experience, the very best interpretations of some of the best pop songs ever written: inspirational, evocative and captivating. 2006.
