Think back to the moment the songs on this CD came into your life…

Some, like “Wichita Lineman” and “All I Know,” have been around seemingly forever; so long they qualify as true standards. Others, like “Lightning In A Bottle,” are almost-forgotten gems. And a few, like this album’s opener “Paul Gauguin in the South Seas” (from 2005’s brilliant Twilight of the Renegades) are of a newer but still robust vintage and show that Webb’s songwriting vineyard is still producing quality “grapes.” OK, enough of that tortured analogy.

So again, think back, this time to the bold teenage “phenom” writing “Didn’t We,” a song about love lost, a song written with truth and conviction, almost impossible for one so young. Frank Sinatra was so moved by it that he gave the song a spotlight moment in his live appearances, standing center stage at Caesars Palace, singing “Didn’t We” between already timeless tunes from such standard bearers as Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart.

Now, think of the seasoned tunesmith in the 21st Century looking back on the regrets of love and life and loss in the devastating meditation on the quickly passing years, “Time Flies.” Think of what Mr. Sinatra could have done with that song. And realize that with the passage of the years, we now know that Jimmy Webb’s voice is the perfect instrument for expressing the true feelings that drip from every note of every one of his songs.

And so finally, don’t think at all. Just close your eyes and listen and imagine the songwriter, sitting alone in a room, searching for the most evocative chord, plucking out a melody, struggling to find a lyric that captures the monumental feelings welling up inside.

Take the romantic and haunting strains of a 1960s troubador, add the spice of Joni Mitchell's choir-like back-up and the result is an album that should have found its place among classics.
