Jimmy Webb - An Evening of Songs and Stories

Jimmy Webb - An Evening of Songs and Stories

To say that Jimmy Webb is one of the last of a breed would imply that there is, or ever was, anyone quite like him. Jimmy Webb has influenced generations of musicians worldwide, from Billy Joel to John Mayer and Keith Urban to Rumer. Webb is the man who gave the world what has been called 'the first existential country song' (The Highwayman) and confounded generations of radio listeners with the brilliance of a lyric about a cake left out in the rain (MacArthur Park). Webb has topped the Country, Disco and Pop charts with a list of artists astounding in its diversity, and he remains a trailblazer among songwriters, fifty years after his first hit.

Includes hits such as: 'Wichita Lineman', 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix', 'MacArthur Park', 'Up, Up and Away', and many, many more.
