Product Information:

Just Across The River, the new album from Jimmy, is now available on E1 Music. The album features interpretations of the classic songs that made him a vital cultural icon including "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", "The Highwayman", "Oklahoma Nights" and more.

The album features guest appearances fromJimmy's friends, fans and recording partners including Jackson Browne, Glen Campbell, Vince Gill, Billy Joel, Mark Knopfler, Michael McDonald, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, J. D. Souther and Lucinda Williams. "Just Across The River" came together at the behest of producer and longtime Jimmy collaborator Fred Mollin, who wished to honorJimmy's storied career and his celebrated contributions to the Americana roots tradition.

Jimmy adds, "from the very first song, first take, first note this record seemed blessed. I hope everyone else feels what we did as we listened to the first rough mixes. And then as each piece fell into place, a fully realized, conceptual work of art emerged." (jimmywebb. com)

Rezensionen

"Jimmy Webb ist ein hochversierter Liedgutfabrikant dessen Songs - in welchem Gewand sie auch immer präsentiert sein mögen - anspruchsvolle Hörer so oder so bei der Stange halten. Die persönlichen Linernotes vom Meister selbst sowie die Abschrift aller Texte runden dieses stolze Album geschmackvoll ab." (web. de)

"Darum hat es Webb erneut geschafft, ein hochwertiges Album abzuliefern, das in seiner Einheit begeistern kann. Nur eines wird es nicht werden - ein Hit. Schade um solche Platten, und dass sie nur so wenigen zugänglich bleiben werden." (rocktimes. de)

"If you love great songwriting, there is simply no way to go wrong by picking this up. If you’re like me, it will take up permanent residence in your head, your heart, and your music player for the foreseeable future." (popdose. com)

"Webb’s latest features cameos from Vince Gill, Billy Joel, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Mark Knopfler and Glen Campbell, all of whom more than make the album worth listening to." (pastemagazine. com)

"There is a warmth to Just Across the River, maybe it’s an aspect of Webb’s experience or of the high regard in which other artists hold him, but it comes across to the listener. The songs may be sad, but there is such pleasure to be gained in the listening." (blogcritics. org)

"At an age when other singers are losing their voices, Mr. Webb finds his mercurial, unguarded singing, which he used to consider a liability, attaining the gritty authority of a softhearted country outlaw’s. And in song after song he vocally holds his own with his guests. Unlike many of his peers whose songwriting talents are in decline, Mr. Webb is still at the top of his game." (New York Times)
