Wow.
I would also blap with haste. Wichita Lineman is my #1 gulty pleasure, it's the only reason I forgive Jimmy Webb for MacArthur Park.
This version kinda f's with my favorite part of the song, but it's nice nonetheless
That's wild.....one of the deepest record guys I know is a Mac Park freak!!
What is your fave part of the song and how does the singer fuck with it?
(Phil, I know you weren't looking for a "review" of the song, but he left the statement wide open and I'm dying to know!

It's one of those melodies that really haunts me. This version has lots of harmonies over it that cloud out the core of the song which I like.
I dig the instrumental versions by Niteliters and Freddie Hubbard as well.
I think there was a thread on this a while ago. My favourites, apart from the original, are the Bobby Hutcherson version, the Kool & the Gang version and Dennis Brown's version.
there it is! thanks, [ocd]now i can tag this schitt properly[/ocd]
KING HARVEST VERSION =
very large
if that part ain't
really, though, there are some other parts of this version that sound pretty weird to me. nothing against willie but i just ain't gettin that glen campbell feelin'
Yeah, I thought that too. He's taken one or two liberties with the chord sequence and even the lyrics. It sounds a little like he's hooked up the arrangement from memory rather than from a lead sheet or anything, but I kinda like it when someone isn't too respectful of a song - you can get some interesting results that way.
