it's nowhere near as dirge-y or doom-y as last weeks show.
in the second hour there is a richard harris song (you know, the actor who had a hit w/macarthur park (it took so long to bake it aaaaaand i'll never have that recipe aaaaaaaagainn! aaaaaaaaaagain!) which is a jimmy webb song).
it's a song called the yard went on forever... from an album w/the same title. it was the follow up to a tramp shining which is the record w/his big hit on it (i like didn't we quite a bit too.).
any how, both records are basically jimmy webb records. i've always really liked jimmy webb's songs ever since figuring out he was the reason i liked glen campbell so much. i've got his first solo record words and music which came out in 1970. the 'a' side is amazing, especially the first two tracks and the 'b', an unlistenable, dull day.
anyways, the song in this weeks show is awful, which was always the chance you took w/a jimmy webb song. the production is crazily over the top, the background singers are way way too peppy and richard harris seems confused.
for all that it's totally worth hearing.
