I used to think from the lyrics it was a Jimmy Webb song -- but it's not.

I'm not sure if he's a great singer or just had the opportunity to sing some truly great and popular songs for the first time, or maybe it's a little of each.

My favorite is probably the heartbreaking "Where's the Playground, Susie?" which of course is Webb.

He sure can play guitar too. He was a studio musician originally.
