About SlipCover - From Guitar International Magazine

"The masterful songwriter, Jimmy Webb, is a contemporary legend who has gifted us for over five decades with his own Americana magic in songs he’s penned, that include, “By the Time I Get to Phoenix”, “MacArthur Park”, “Wichita Lineman”, “Highwayman”, “Didn’t We”, “Up, Up and Away”, “Galveston” and many more.

And most recently, Jimmy has released a new album, SlipCover, of hit songs by other well-known and lesser known musicians that include, Mike Brown, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Warren Zevon, Brian Wilson and Randy Newman.

SlipCover presents songs that infiltrated our DNA in years past and Jimmy has slimmed them down to their melodic intent, as instrumentals that are, as he says,”shaped” by their original lyrics. And he performs them with heart and a touching soulfulness.

His selection of songs is a treasure chest of hits many know by heart from their youth, while others will discover them anew, as introductions to music they’ve never known. It’s a beautifully rendered album, intimately performed on his favorite piano, recorded in the quiet of his home."

From one songwriting, arranging and piano genius to another one.

How wonderful.

Somewhere I hope Zevon and Nilsson are giving this a listen... and maybe singing along a little.

Good stuff.👍❤️
