“Wichita Lineman”

“Wichita Lineman” is a 1968 song written by American songwriter Jimmy Webb and first recorded by country-pop singer Glen Campbell, who turned it into a major hit.In 2021, Rolling Stone ranked it number 206 on its list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time,” and Bob Dylan has praised it as one of the greatest songs ever written.Jimmy Webb got the idea while driving through the Oklahoma panhandle, seeing endless telephone poles and a lone lineman working high on one pole in a flat, empty landscape. He imagined the inner life of that lineman—his loneliness, his focus on work, and his thoughts about someone he loves—and moved the setting in his imagination to around Wichita, Kansas. Webb has said he wanted it to be about an “ordinary fellow” in a seemingly menial job who still has deep emotions and poetic thoughts.Here is a violin duet arrangement of this great song.
