Jimmy Webb takes the CMA Theater stage Sunday, June 23, at 7:30 PM CT. Tickets for the show will go on sale to the public Friday, April 5, at 10:00 AM CT.
Prolific songwriter Jimmy Webb was a chief source of material for Glen Campbell, who recorded Webb’s “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” over fifty years ago. Campbell reached #1 with “Wichita Lineman” and “Galveston,” and charted with Webb’s “Honey Come Back,” “Where’s the Playground Susie,” “Still Within the Sound of My Voice,” and other songs. Waylon Jennings earned his first Grammy with Webb’s “MacArthur Park” in 1969. In 1986, Webb won a Grammy, Country Song of the Year, for “Highwayman,” a #1 hit for Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson as the Highwaymen.
Webb has worked with a wide range of artists including the Fifth Dimension, Art Garfunkel, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, and many others. In 2016, he received the Academy of Country Music’s Poet’s Award. Don’t miss Jimmy Webb: Songs & Stories presented by Hippie Radio 94.5 live at the CMA Theater.
