This is the best Mr. Webb vocal album
that isn't sung by Mr. Webb. All the songs here, except Roll Me Easy,
which I never play so I don't even remember what it sounds like, are great. Who
else does Mr. Webb's songs justice? I haven't heard anyone yet. Campbell
takes a Mr. Webb creation and makes it his own without losing the Mr. Webb
touch. Having Mr. Webb arrange all the songs didn't hurt either. This
album contains the only good track from the "Jim Webb sings Jim Webb"
rip off, I Keep It Hid.

and his relationship with Webb check out this Glen
Campbell site. It's real good.
