"Sometimes the best songwriters work behind the scenes. Jimmy Webb was one such songwriter. Born in 1946, the composer and singer has crafted a dizzying number of American classics. Despite shunning the limelight to pen tracks for artists such as Art Garfunkel, Glen Campbell, and The 5th Dimension, Webb established an incredibly distinctive style. Here, R.E.M pay homage to the musical world of Jimmy Webb with their 2001 track, ‘All The Way To Reno (You’re Gonna Be A Star)’."
