Jimmy Webb pays tribute to Glen Campbell

- By John Atashian

Songwriter Jimmy Webb is set to perform “The Glen Campbell Years” at Infinity Music Hall in Hartford on Thursday March 22.

Jimmy has had chart topping hits in a unique range of genres over the last 50 years, from country to pop to disco, with songs including “Worst That Could Happen,” “The Highway Man,” “Up, Up and Away” and “MacArthur Park.” But perhaps the most enduring partnershi­p out of all those memorable songs is his musical brotherhoo­d with Glen Campbell.

“The Glen Campbell Years” highlights some of the 100+ recordings from the Webb / Campbell songbook, pulling the audience in with various accounts each night of the personal side of generation­al touchstone­s like “Honey Come Back,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston” and more from decades of shared musical memories. To purchase tickets or for more informatio­n, call the Infinity box office at 866666-6306.
