Jackson Browne

I'm currently listening to Late for the Sky on prerecorded cassette (which sounds very excellent on my CD-401) and it seems to be a very very good album. I get a lot of my music from my dad and Jackson Browne is some of the best that I've heard. Also I've got a few Bonnie Raitt and Laurie Anderson albums laying around due to his influence.
And from me he has gotten a kick-a$$ stereo to play it on.

I like Jackson Browne. I don't care who knows it, dammit. For a period there in the seventies, he was really on top of his game. :smoke:

The audio quality is fairly poor, but there's a Dutch radio performance of him and Warren Zevon from '76 that's an outstanding primer for either artist. It's available for free legal download here.

Your dad and you have great taste in music. :thmbsp:
 
Well since you like both Bonnie and Jackson, need to find a copy of Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
It's off the Pete Seeger tribute album-Where have all the flowers gone

Was spinning some JB earlier today-For Everyman. Fine fine LP
 
I used to own some of his records, but lost those to a GF a while back and never replaced them. His 70's stuff can intertwine with Zevon on a lyrical basis.
 
I've got the V-Pro Dutch Browne and Zevon on bootleg, but I remember it being pretty good quality. Anyways 70's Browne is always a real good listen. And see if your Dad has any Zevon laying around.

I miss Warren...

He was the first artist I made an effort to buy all of his albums. Even have bootleg tape of a college concert he did in about 73 where he does a bunch of Warren Zevon tunes including "WereWolves of London" a couple of years before Z made it a hit on FM radio.

Seen him in concert several times at Merriwether Post Pavilion where several songs from "Running on Empty" were recorded. During the "Lawyers in Love" tour the crowd of mostly yuppies (ironic if you know the lyrics to Lawyer in Love) left after the first encore. Jackson came back out to the piano and said "This is for you that stayed" and played solo on the piano for 30-45 minutes.

Kind of lost interest in him after "World in Motion" but came back to with " Still Alive". Its hard to say someone in the RR Hall of Fame and once had Bruce Springsteen as his opening act is overlooked but his influence as a writer and even producer during the 70's and early 80's was stronger than I think people realize.
 
From "Lives in the balance"

I've probably mentioned this one or a hundred times before, but I find JB's In the shape of a heart to be quite impressive on a good system.

Particulary clear percussion and wide dynamic range!
 
All 70s Bonnie Raitt kick ass. Her stuff from the 80-90s tends to be overly polished but still wonderful.

Laurie Anderson can be hard to listen too, she was having fun experimenting. My favorite song is Kokoku on the Mr. Heartbreak album, an aural delight.
 
Must agree on "In The Shape Of A Heart"...really a fine recording of a fine song. BTW...if it sounds good on the radio...kudos to the station for well-set up processing gear.
 
Great stuff, always been a big Jackson Browne fan. His new releases were mandatory purchases in the 70's, recommend all of them. I have seen him in concert in the late 70' and the mid 90's - totally blown away by the musicianship of his band in both shows. He wrote some of his great songs at or before age 16 by the way.

I like alot of the performances of his songs by other artists. A couple of favorites are Under The Falling Sky by Bonnie Raitt and These Days by Gregg Allman. :thmbsp:

Nico version of "These Days" was used on the soundtrack of " I Love the Huckabees" and he played guitar on that track when he was like 17.
 
Browne was influential in jump-starting Zevon's career.They remained close until Zevon's death.
