Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed, arranged, and produced entirely by the prodigious Jimmy Webb, this debut album by the celebrated Irish actor is a staggeringly lush, emotionally devastating pop masterwork. The record revolves around an opulent, baroque-pop narrative of romantic loss, anchored by Harris's theatrical, highly expressive vocal delivery. It is forever immortalized by the inclusion of the bizarre, soaring, seven-minute epic 'MacArthur Park'.
