“And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.” If you ask me, the greatest couplet in recorded music. written by a 21 year old Jimmy Webb! the dick slessig combo’s 42 minute instrumental meditation/reinterpretation of “Wichita Lineman” is absolutely essential as well. find it on youtube!

Quite possibly one of the three greatest songs ever recorded. The fact that it's pure craft vs. autobiographical (Jimmy Webb wrote it as kind of an answer song to "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," its mythical lineman is just a fictional creation) makes not a jot of difference. Magical, and evocative of a particular time in the U.S. when seeing a guy on a powerline pole could evoke this kind of backstory.

If you liked Glen Campbell's Wichita Lineman, you will LOVE the 42 minute ambient version by Dick Slessig Combo (featuring ex Acetone guitarist, Mark Lightcap)

case in point: "Wichita Lineman" stretched to its absolute limit via the Dick Slessig Combo (Mark Lightcap [Acetone], Steve Goodfriend [Radar Brothers], Carl Bronson) the original is a beautiful 3 minute song that is one of the few tracks with a righteous claim to the "best American song" title - this cover takes you out of the Yearning Zone and places you on a truck bucket somewhere in the desert, searching in the sun for another overload

A very pretty word, and an action which has its moments in our daily lives. it doesn’t do you well to die on every hill.
