SKF NOTE: This third of four parts of my Feb. 28, 1983 interview with Jimmy Webb picks up the story of Ringo Starr’s frustration with the producer of Webb’s “Land’s End” album spending days trying to get a drum sound.

“Angel Heart,” Webb’s current album at the time of this interview, was recorded in three to four days, and he talks about that. The backup band for “Angel Heart” is Toto.

And our conversation covers lots of ground about the changing record industry.

“It seems we are at the end of an era. A lot of great careers are seemingly past their prime and leveling out. I feel a hush before another great boon of some kind,” Webb said.

Finally, Webb shares what he said is “the epitome of my philosophy of what it actually takes to be a songwriter and a composer.”
