\'It\'s just another song to me. I\'ve written 1,000 of them and it\'s really just another one.\' Jimmy Webb \'When I heard it I cried. It made me cry because I was homesick. It\'s just a masterfully written song.\' Glen Campbell The sound of \'Wichita Lineman\' was the sound of ecstatic solitude, but then its hero was the quintessential loner. What a great metaphor he was: a man who needed a woman more than he actually wanted her. Written in 1968 by Jimmy Webb, \'Wichita Lineman\' is the first philosophical country song: a heartbreaking torch ballad still celebrated for its mercurial songwriting genius fifty years later. It was recorded by Glen Campbell in LA with a legendary group of musicians known as \'the Wrecking Crew\', and something about the song\'s enigmatic mood seemed to capture the tensions in America at a moment of crisis. Fusing a dribble of bass, searing strings, tremolo guitar and Campbell\'s plaintive vocals, Webb\'s paean to the American West describes a telephone lineman\'s longing for an absent lover, who he hears \'singing in the wire\' - and like all good love songs, it\'s an SOS from the heart. Mixing close-listening, interviews and travelogue, Dylan Jones explores the legacy of a record that has entertained and haunted millions for over half a century. What is it about this song that continues to seduce listeners, and how did the parallel stories of Campbell and Webb - songwriters and recording artists from different ends of the spectrum - unfold in the decades following? Part biography, part work of musicological archaeology, The Wichita Lineman opens a window on to America in the late-twentieth century through the prism of a song that has been covered by myriad artists in the intervening decades. \'Americana in the truest sense: evocative and real.\' Bob Stanley
