(2022) VA - Clowns Exit Laughing: The Jimmy Webb Songbook
Review:
After a period of establishing his credentials as a writer with Motown’s West Coast office, Jimmy Webb really came into his own in the mid-’60s with classic songs like ‘By the Time I Get to Phoenix’, ‘Wichita Lineman’ and ‘Up Up and Away’. Everyone wanted to record a Jimmy Webb copyright, and a great many people did as this CD demonstrates. Although Jimmy has never stopped writing, “Clowns Exit Laughing” naturally concentrates on a time when a new Jimmy Webb classic seemed to appear every other week. As is always Ace’s policy with the Songwriter Series, each featured artist performs only one song but we are sure that inclusions by the likes of Tony Joe White, Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield and other major names will disappoint nobody. Also included for collectors are several rare, seldom heard original versions of songs primarily associated with other artists, such as Don Ho’s original of ‘Galveston’ and James Darren’s first recording of ‘Didn’t We’. — acerecords.co.uk
