“This
is my niche, my specialty,”
says Stigers. “I have
a great love and an eclectic
knowledge of a wide array
of songwriters and musical
genres, and I know how to
bring them all together into
one cohesive sound. I want
to follow in the footsteps
of my heroes. This is what
Ella and Billie Holiday did.
This is what Sinatra and Nat
Cole did. This is even what
Miles and Coltrane and nearly
all of the great jazz artists
have done. They’ve taken
the popular songs of their
generation and created something
new from them. I know a lot
about Rock music and Alt Country
and Urban Blues and Folk music
and Punk Rock. So I use that
knowledge. And that’s
what I’m steadily becoming
known for.” Throughout
his career, Stigers has been
celebrated for a surprisingly
wide variety of impressive
accomplishments—from
his early pop chart success
with several self-penned,
top-ten singles and hit albums.

Jimmy
Webb is that rarity in rock
music, a professional songwriter
who achieved stardom in that
capacity. Rock music has its
share of great songwriters,
but most of them -- Bob Dylan,
John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
George Harrison, Gene Clark,
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,
Pete Townshend -- became best
known for their own recordings
of their best work. Webb has
also performed live, and recorded
fairly extensively, but his
performing career never approached
his success as a composer.
His songwriting was sufficiently
distinctive to make him one
of the few stars of that profession
outside of the Broadway stage
during the 1960s. «
