This was my first encounter with solo Jimmy Webb. I had seen his name countless times on record sleeves, but never heard him sing. I found the LP in the cut-out section and looked it over. Hmmm... Kenny Loggins guest vocalist, several others I recognized from the West Coast music scene... oh, the price tag of 49 cents gave me incentive to try him. Strong, strong music. It opens up with "The Highwayman", produced with soaring strings from George Martin. It creates a lush atmosphere. Each new song creates a memorable set of tunes. The kind you'll want to sing at the top of your voice, along with him. Okay, his voice isn't as slick as Glen Campbell's or Art Garfunkel's, but combine his pleasant voice with fine musicians and his own excellent songwriting, and you've found a treasure. I think this CD is his most commercial offering. Radio-friendly stuff. And his version of the title track blows away the later remake by the big-name group. Still, it's intelligent (as all his stuff is) and makes you wonder why he never broke through on his own. Ah, well, same story for Terence Boylan, Paul Williams and Bill LaBounty.

Anyone with an ear will tell you that this is one of THE finest albums ever recorded. With songwriting and arranging skills of the caliber of Mr. Webb, the production genius of George Martin and the top studio muscicians, at the time, all on board, how could it be otherwise. Either due to Martin's influence or singing lessons, Jimmy's some-times shaky voice was reigned in, which added greatly to the emotional impact of these songs. Do yourself a sublime favor and get this just to listen to this version of "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress". One listen and you too will be saying "Amen!". Genius does not show up often. Don't miss this opportunity to hear an American Master at the peak of his powers. ......and god bless George Martin,too!
