WEBB,JIMMY - YOURS FOR THE TAKING: FOUND SONGS OF JIMMY WEBB Vinyl LP

Expected: 10/23/26

Legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb ("Wichita Lineman," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix") has made the album he has always wanted to with  Yours for the Taking: The Found Songs of Jimmy Webb . For his 80th birthday, Jimmy revisited songs stashed in the piano bench and never recorded, due to circumstance or chance. These are not fragments or unfinished ideas, but fully formed songs bearing the unmistakable hallmarks of Webb's writing: sweeping melodies, sophisticated and unexpected chord changes, and lyrics capable of breaking – or mending – a heart.

Produced by Fred Mollin and recorded with some of Nashville's finest musicians,  Yours for the Taking  is decidedly not a "Nashville record." It is rock and roll with a splash of jazz and a whisper of country, pairing Webb's singular songwriting with lush new arrangements and performances. Across 11 newly produced tracks, Webb is joined by dear friends Graham Nash, Michael McDonald, Amy Grant, Marc Cohn, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Justin Currie.

Bonus 7" record includes the tracks "Winter Clothes (Original Demo)" and "If I Ever Get to Talk to You Again (Original Demo)".

"A younger Jimmy Webb wrote these songs, decades ago." says the legendary songwriter. "He was in a rush, he was hard on himself and his works. He was moving fast and leaving songs behind. Now, on the eve of my 80th birthday, a more relaxed, more creative and more grounded Jimmy Webb is announcing the release of these deserving songs that I have found, toiled over, and then collaborated with an extraordinary group of people on, so we can finally share them with the world. They are  Yours for the Taking ."
