Jimmy Webb - Just across the river

This album is your typical country album.

13 songs on this album, many featuring guest musicians, but no new material is presented.

All the songs are covers of other songs, which have already been covered numerous times by other artists.

Prompting the question- was this a tribute to his influences or did he just not have new material ready?

The best part of the album is the guest spot by Willie Nelson, whom I am sure everyone likes from his music or acting past.

Jimmy Webb has been labelled a ‘talented songwriter’ but this is not shown on this album.
