^Likewise wasn't sure where to put this one, and coincidentally really enjoyed Linda's track on here too.
JIMMY WEBB - Just Across the River

They don't make songwriters like this anymore. Thirteen most accomplished tracks and a nice warm listen for a rainy day. Yip - nearly mid-October and it's sweater weather - quite odd! Gotta say, the Jelly Bowl acquits himself well - and I know these are all tried and tested and that there are other much loved versions which may be preferred but honestly, it doesn't sound like there are any terrible missteps here to me, in terms of the collaborators chosen to feature on the various songs. It goes in the same category as Elton and Leon's The Union for me - in terms of listening pleasure. Sophisticated production too.
1. "Oklahoma Nights" (featuring Vince Gill)
2. "Wichita Lineman" (featuring Billy Joel) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kAph-FJ4vY
3. "If You See Me Getting Smaller" (featuring Willie Nelson)
4. "Glaveston" (featuring Lucinda Williams)
5. "P.F. Sloan" (featuring Jackson Browne) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8LhZuXEoF0
6. "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" (featuring Glen Campbell)
7. "Cowboy Hall of Fame"
8. "Where Words End" (featuring Michael McDonald)
9. "Highwayman" (featuring Mark Knopfler)
10. "I Was Too Busy Loving You" (featuring JD Souther)
11. "It Won't Bring Her Back"
12. "Do What You Gotta Do"
13. "All I Know" (featuring Linda Ronstadt) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyXhtRg9stk
