JIMMY WEBB: DISCOGRAPHY
This is not a complete discography; I concentrate on the first recording of a song (which is numbered), though other important interpretations are also mentioned. This kind of discography is oriented toward tracking the artistic development of the songwriter. Any corrections or additions will be appreciated. Also I should note, I have not heard many of the more obscure recordings. My special favorites are marked by an asterisk or two. Thanks for help from other Webbheads, and a special boost from Mike Howard's Bruised: A Jimmy Webb Fanzine , at "mikehoward@oakcottage.demon.co.uk".
