Webb Announces His Return To The Grand Ole Opry On Oct. 25; PBS Great Performances Special Airing Oct. 30

September 25, 2026: Today, GRAMMY-winning legendary songwriter and Songwriters Hall of Famer Jimmy Webb shares his new single “Farther Than Eyes Can See (featuring Michael McDonald)” from his upcoming album Yours For The Taking: The Found Songs of Jimmy Webb due out October 23 via Sun Records.

Heartfelt and reflective, the track sees Webb search for a pure, honest love that knows no bounds. Written with Barbra Streisand in mind – whom Webb has collaborated with previously on songs like “Little Tin Soldier” and “Didn’t We” – “Farther Than Eyes Can See” soars with a profound, passionate yearning, uplifted further with signature background vocals from Michael McDonald.

Also today, Webb has announced his return to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN on October 25, just days after the release of Yours For The Taking. Webb made his Opry debut in 2010, and his last performance was in 2011. Following Webb’s return to the Opry, PBS will celebrate his singular career with Jimmy Webb: American Songwriter, premiering October 30 as part of Great Performances. Tune in to Jimmy Webb: American Songwriter on October 30 @ 9 PM ET / 8 PM CT on PBS and PBS.org. 

Webb announced Yours For The Taking: The Found Songs of Jimmy Webb on the eve of his 80th birthday last month. The album brings together previously unheard songs Webb wrote across decades of his extraordinary career that, through circumstance or chance, were never released, but which remain deeply meaningful to Webb and his musical legacy. Yours For The Taking is a collection that feels less like an excavation than a new Jimmy Webb album hiding in plain sight. These are not fragments or unfinished ideas, but fully formed songs bearing the unmistakable hallmarks of Webb’s writing: sweeping melodies, sophisticated and unexpected chord changes, and lyrics capable of breaking – or mending – a heart.

Produced by longtime Webb producer Fred Mollin and recorded with some of Nashville’s finest musicians, Yours For The Taking is decidedly not a “Nashville record.” It is rock and roll with a splash of jazz and a whisper of country, pairing Webb’s singular songwriting with lush new arrangements and performances. Across eleven newly produced tracks and two original demos, Webb is joined by dear friends Graham Nash, Michael McDonald, Amy Grant, Marc Cohn, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Justin Currie.

Webb previously shared “Winter Clothes (Original Demo),” an intimate early recording of a song he wrote with Frank Sinatra in mind nearly 50 years ago, and “Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea,” a witty yet vulnerable track inspired by his father frequent use of the phrase “you’ve got me between a rock and a hard place.” You can read more about the album via Webb’s interview with Billboard HERE.

Yours For The Taking marks another chapter in Webb’s six-decade-plus career that has permanently shaped the American songbook. As both composer and lyricist, Webb has written some of the most enduring songs of the modern era, including “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “MacArthur Park,” “Up, Up and Away,” “Galveston” and “Highwayman.” His songs have been recorded by artists across generations and genres, from Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell, Barbra Streisand and Nina Simone, to R.E.M., Guns N’ Roses, Keith Urban and Flea. With Yours For The Taking, he reminds us there are still new Jimmy Webb songs for the world to discover and cherish.

In addition to his return to the Grand Ole Opry on October 25, Jimmy Webb will set out on tour next month across the U.S., with upcoming stops in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and more. For all upcoming dates and more information, visit jimmywebb.com.
