2015 tribute album to the songwriting legend. For the last 50 years, American popular music has been filled with the timeless songs of Jimmy Webb and we are thrilled to help continue that legacy with Still on the Line: A Tribute to Jimmy Webb. These are 12 new recordings by artists who share our passion for his songs, which we consider to be some of the most emotionally moving and skillfully crafted of all time. Part of Webb's unique talent lies in the versatility of his songs. While Where's the Playground Susie and Galveston were hits for Glen Campbell, they find a fresh new home in the voices of Bonnie Prince Billy and Elephant Micah. By the Time I Get to Phoenix, considered by Frank Sinatra to be the greatest torch song ever written, sounds as heartbreaking as ever when performed here by Mike Adams At His Honest Weight. While none of these songs are meant to replace any of their previously recorded versions, they demonstrate their strength to grab our hearts no matter the genre, voice or decade where they find themselves. The Cairo Gang Ocean in His Eyes, Nicholas Krgovich The Moon's a Harsh Mistress, Bonnie Prince Billy Where's the Playground Susie, Vollmar with Amy O. Wishing Now, Mike Adams at His Honest Weight By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Pop Zeus Just This One Time, Andrew Slater The Magic Garden, Elephant Micah Galveston, Wooden Wand Once in the Morning, Via Vegrandis Sleeping in the Daytime, Sister Sister Marionette, Pan-Pan Wen Up Up ; Away
