Description
Doug’s first solo album in awhile features meaningful renditions of 11 favorite Jimmy Webb ballads, along with a classic inspired by a Webb recording. Twelve of the most beautiful songs ever written, or should we say, "song descriptions"... Songs range from the well-known to the little-known, and arrangements traverse the dynamic and emotional range from soliloquy (just vocal and solo piano) to full orchestra.

For more details, and notes on the songs, see album notes.
