Free Music Notes for Archive
Free Music Review: Gorgeous & tender
Hit: 5 Stars
'Archive', pretty much, has everything of Webb's on it that I wish to hear. From 'Words & Music' there's the sensational'Let it be Me' medley and the paen to P.F Sloan(author of "The Eve of Destruction", whose recorded career, judging from the disc I once owned, was unsurprisingly brief inspite of Jimmy's lament) and exerpts from my favourite albumns,'Letters', and 'Land's End.' In fact, I purchased 'Archiive' because 'Land's End was unavailable' on CD (until a Japanese re-release in 1998). 'Just One More Time', and the achingly beautiful 'Land's End/Asleep On The Wind' are stunning songs requiring this full orchestral treatment with Ringo belting the bejesus out of the skins. Webb isn't a strong singer. There's not a lot of tone in his voice as evidenced in the more recent 'Ten Easy Pieces'. Nowhere are his vocal shortcomings more apparent than on his doppelganger,'McCarthur's Park'. This piece of obscurist poetry really needs the baroque lushness that Richard Harris's theatrics first brought to it. I can't pin just what it is that saves Webb's writing from being sentimental. So many of his songs verge on it, and this shows in the readings of some of his interpreters. Not in Glenn Campbell though; a performer I've never followed other than for the Webb connection. Campbell's 'Reunion' disc is well worth seeking out, to experience just how these songs can be liberated.
Archive Poster
'...An excellent 20 track import only overview of Webb's criminally overlooked career as a performer from 1970-1977, his most productive period. While he is best remembered as the composer of hits for others, this collection offers proof that he was equally adept at interpreting his own songs -- often times bringing more emotion to them' --All- Music Guide, which gave 'Archive' 4 & 1/2 stars out of five.All tracks are from his Reprise, Asylum & Atlantic albums. 1993 WEA International release.He is Considered One of the Greatest Songwriters and Arrangers Ever in Pop Music. His Songs have Been Covered by the Likes of Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell, the Fifth Dimension, Art Garfunkel, Donna Summer, Willie Nelson and the List Goes On. However, his Solo Albums as an Artist in his Own Right Sadly Fade in and Out of Print. This Disc Partially Rectifies that Fact, as it is the Only Collection that Encompasses his Prolific Solo Recording Career. Guest Musicians Participating Include, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, Ringo Starr and Many Others Along with Former Beatle Producer George Martin, who Produced Several of the Tracks Found Here.
