Everyone was taking a break when Jackson picked up an acoustic guitar and played "These Days". Everyone in the room just froze and their mouths dropped open in an "O My God" moment!!

    Jackson Browne is probably the most underrated singer/songwriter in r&r history. The man probably couldn't write a bad song if he tried. Impeccable taste, exquisite musicianship, soulful lyrics, and a damn fine voice. I became a fan of his first album in 1972 and have loved everything he's released since. Not only do I still love his music, it never gets old or boring - because it's so soulful and deep. Glad you guys appreciate him as much as I, the commenters below do. Dig deeper; there are so many masterpieces there with no clunkers.

He never played an extra note, each one shouldered its weight. Browne worked with the best of the best. Listen to it again - for yourselves. It's an incredible piece. The title piece, For Everyman, was written in response to CSN's Wooden Ships. Love watching you discover his music. Any of the oldsters on this thread will tell you that the older you get the more his music will touch you.

" Late for The Sky" was added to the Natioal Record Registry. My respect and admiration come from the fact that he never sold out for riches and lives what he writes. His music has been a lifeline in my very difficult life. I saw him for the 2nd time my birthday, Sept 25, 2022, at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Mid stage row 3, the best present I ever received! He'll be on that stage singing until they "come for my" his coffin. If we were all half of what he is, the world would be an awesome place. My utmost respect and admiration for you, Mr. Browne

    Jackson played guitar for Nico (who was an original member of The Velvet Underground and went solo pretty early on). The first recording of this is by Nico and Browne plays electric guitar (for the first time on record). Andy Warhol told Browne to play an electric to make it sound more "modern." That explains the finger-picking style used by Jackson.

    I’d recommend “Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate”, “Here Come Those Tears Again”, “Your Bright Baby Blues”, “Tender is the Night”, “Late for the Sky” and “For a Dancer”. What am I saying-just listen to all of his albums. Jackson Browne has never put out a bad song and the lyrics are amazing. I appreciate them even more as I get older.
