Jimmy Webb -- Just Across The River

Biography

Jimmy Webb
Just Across the River

“People may wonder how all these great artists came to do this album with an obscure, eclectic talent like Jimmy Webb,” says the veteran songwriter with more than a little self-deprecation as he talks about Just Across the River. “The answer is that it’s a family -- an interlaced, interconnected family. There’s a love and deep emotional content in the subtext of this… Read more in Amazon's Jimmy Webb Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure from My Past, July 11, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Letters (Audio CD)
These songs are blazed on my brain and in my heart from the time I was 15. It is a joy to FINALLY see that this album and "Words and Music" have been issued in CD's, in tact, as I remember every note, pause, and lyric. Jimmy's "Galveston" is gorgeous and sung the way it should be sung. He re-recorded it later, but this is the first and most haunting version. "Song-Seller" and "Love Song" (on Words and Music) were always favorites. I would own "Letters" just for Jimmy's version of "Love Hurts". "Camp de Encino" will always bring back memories of my first trip to California..and I don't want to recount how many times in my life "Hurt Me Well" came back into my memory. Jimmy's songs were always among the most beautiful love songs ever written. Another reason we were a lucky generation.

This was an amazing LP album in the '70s and finally it is available on CD. Jimmy Webb's talent was never properly appreciated--he performed and wrote songs I can never forget. You will not regret buying this CD. every song is excellent! Try it, you'll like it.
