Very sweet. Aside from the great playing, very nicely recorded too. Interesting rendition. Have you transcribed the chords yet?
Tom,
Yes! The recording engineer is Rich Breen - Alan P. had his personal Yamaha C-6 brought in for the sessions!
This recording has some of the most beautiful piano, bass and drum sounds, ever. Rich is a true artist.
Yes - I've transcribed the basic changes and have been playing this on my duo gig. The pianist thought I was off my meds the first time I handed this to him! He's since come around.
I'll post the chart later this week, as the pianist kept my original copy.
Thanks.

Beautiful take on a beautiful song! Jimmy Webb could write 'em and those guys get it. 
Great recording of a great song!
I saw the Dave Stryker Organ Trio (w Dave on guitar) cover this recently, was a wonderful experience. It is on his new album 8 Track

Thanks for posting the chart, Don. I had no idea. Works very well as a jazz standard, IMO. Added to my set list.
I used to play the lineman and MacArthur Park nightly in the early seventies with the Reg Wilson Trio. Reg had a knack for picking out of the box tunes. We even got Joe Farrell to play Blue Bayou with us

Sounds like a lot of fun! I dig Joe Farrell!
iona bass - thanks for this posting. I was inspired to work on this last night. Great song structure. Wish I had a bow because it lends itself to arco. That is on my to do list.
Listening to the original Glen Campbell singles, it is a shame the producers let him play so little guitar because he is a really good player. But I guess that's why they were pop hits.

Before he became known as a singer, he was a studio guitarist.

Not quite as musical, but still worth a listen:

Even better (for TalkBass) he played bass with them!
An old friend of mine, reed player, Sto Rudeski, told me that he knew Kenny Rogers in Las Vegas and that he played very good jazz bass. You don't want to underestimate these country boys. And then there was Waylon

Agreed. Willie knows some jazz too and uses it nicely to my ear.

Kenny's early career started as a singing upright player,playing standards in Houston TX.,in the early to mid -1960's..
