Jimmy Webb himself does the best version of this song on his album “Ten Easy Pieces”. Second best is James Taylor. I’ll always love Glen’s version, too.
Agree 110% - Jimmy Webb’s “ten easy pieces” is a GREAT album of his songs. “Whichita Lineman” sounds so much more haunting on his album with only a piano and his voice.
