Jimmy Webb "Twilight of the Renegades", Jimmy Webb new album out now (on Sanctuary UK).

From the first soothing rush of ocean at the shores of Jimmy Webb's dense, multilayered brushstrokes on "Paul Gaugin in the South Seas", it's clear one of the greatest songwriters of the modern era drinks from a source as deep as it is rich. "Twilight of the Renegades," the new offering from the man who has a chapter all to himself in the great American songbook – think "Wichita Lineman", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Gavelston", "MacArthur Park", "Up, Up and Away" – is Jimmy Webb at his peak.

You just can't teach someone to do this stuff. Like he says of Gaugin, "the reason few are chosen is 'cause a few will pay the price/so you gotta keep searchin' for paradise." There is so much to discover and to ponder here: his ode to Marilyn Monroe ("Just Like Marilyn") or the beautiful "She Moves" and "Eyes Follow"; the pained "Skywriter" and the epic "Driftwood". One to be savoured.
