I kept waiting for A&A to do their patented lyric check, because this is one song where the lyrics matter. I've always found this to be some of the best pop lyrics of its time.

I always loved this song, and totally enjoyed your reaction. I saw Jackson Browne in concert in '06. He and the musicians were in complete synchronicity, it was an outstanding concert.

[@JamesRea2]

You talk about his production values. To me. Fountain of Sorrow from the Late for the Sky album is one of the most impeccably produced songs there is.

[@albertguibert6276]

Yes! Jackson Browne! A great songwriter with a unique voice and style. Always surrounded with skillful musicians.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Grounding the song & being in the pocket is exactly what is supposed to be done. Lee Sklar is an absolute bass legend. Also Jackson may have envisioned that bass groove so thats what Lee played.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

Love this song. . Crank it up loud. Never gets old. Jackson brown always delivers. . ROCK ON. .

[@michaelkeefe8494]

Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon, the Eagles, Poco... 70s L.A. cowboys, musical descendants of Graham Parsons and the Fabulous Flying Burrito Brothers. Speaking of which, if you want to do another crazy rock story, do a Google on Graham Parsons' funeral. The Pretender is another great J. Browne song.

[@drewwin794]

Speaking of the Fabulous Flying Burrito Brothers, how about some Firefall!

[@loopthetube]

Will always love Poco.

[@davecummings2424]

Yes! Poco! "Keep On Trying", "Good Feeling to Know", "Go And Say Goodbye", "Anyway, Bye Bye", and the amazing "Dallas".

[@jameswolfe8853]

Jackson puts poetry to music. One of the great American song writers.

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

"These Days" by JB was recorded by Gregg Allman, as well as other artists.

[@jonanderson559]

The good old California school of singer/songwriters. I came to Jackson Browne through Warren Zevon, who had his own very distinct dark style, but JB was the real heart of that scene - knew everyone, worked with everyone, and still playing today.

[@recyclerhopkins]

Browne produced many of Zevon's early albums and was responsible for Warren getting back in the business after an early failure and they toured together.

[@richardnanian6075]

Alex and Andy are my favorite reactors (unless you count Rick Beato, who isn't really a reactor), but they did "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" during one of their live-streams, and unfortunately they completely missed the boat on it. It went totally over their heads. I can't really blame them. I'm sure that mercenaries' role in post-colonial wars and Patty Hearst aren't even on their radar. But it was still disappointing.

[@RetNemmoc555]

Jackson Browne's albums have no bad songs. Not a one.

[@trusso11783]

Jackson wrote Take It Easy l which the Eagles recorded.

[@garykelly7422]

"the load out/stay" by Jackson Brown is another must hear ☮️

[@historyguy5942]

Though Browne’s first Big “Hit” and probably his best known composition, Doctor My Eyes is, in many respects, atypical of his work. It is a short offering and in some respects lacks the deeply introspective lyrics that he is known for, although sparks of introspection do shine through. That being said, he had a bevy of great musicians who worked with him throughout his career (so far). There is NO bad album ever produced by Jackson Browne. Consistent great musicianship coupled with utterly superb lyrics makes him one of the greats of the past nearly fifty years. In a time known for its songwriters and lyricists (70s) he was the cream at the top, rivaled only by artists such as Don Mclean. Alex has mentioned several times that he is strongly drawn towards the lyrics of a song. That being true, then you hit the mother load with Jackson Browne. Listen to all the songs on this album, the album following it (For EveryMan), and especially Late For Sky (Superb, and my favorite of his albums), and then the Pretender, which was huge, Running on Empty, Hold Out, and then, a lyricists wet dream “I’m Alive,” (1993),“Too Many Angels” being a prime example. His first seven albums all went Platinum (The Pretender 3X Platinum, Running on Empty 7X) and Hold Out and I’m Alive both going Gold. If you spend the time listening to these albums and reading and intently listening to the lyrics you will be greatly rewarded and your understanding of music and societal attitudes originating from the early 70s will be infinitely enhanced. You guys have been on a great journey into the music of the past half-century, which is fun to watch. Enjoy input from both of you. BTW Alex, Love the jacket :)

[@adamlanzendorfer9155]

Gotta hit "the pretender" my favorite song of his

[@orlie1904]

You know the best thing about your channel and the reason I keep coming back? I’m 65. My life flashes before my eyes with nearly every song you play. It’s like a reunion each time. Remember that when you listen to your music 40 years from now.

[@charleslively1714]

I’m kinda old school rock n roll just like to say thank you!!

[@twwtjohns]

I saw Jackson Browne in 1976 at the Miami Jai Lai Fronton and it was one of the best concerts I ever attended. The musicianship and vocals especially Jackson's were exceptional.

[@jasonremy1627]

So, one song you should definitely do is "These Days", which he wrote at 16. Jackson's version is very good, but if you want A GREAT version of it, check out Greg Allman's version. It's from his first solo album. So good.

[@johnharkness7114]

Nico?

[@jasonremy1627]

Her version is great too. It's haunting and mysterious in the same way that Allman's is gritty and rough.

[@ablastfromyourpast9112]

Great Tune Seen Him & The Moody Blues Together In Concert 4 / 2 / 21

[@scottcachopo5632]

Listen to “These Days”

[@marilyndurham738]

My favorite from Jackson B. ❤

[@Shadowrider1872]

GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY HAPPY FRIDAY ☮️❤️♾️

[@normanleroy1874]

Good morning, John! :)

[@mikeymckinnon5778]

How you feeling today J??

[@jimigrunge]

As a musician, "The Load Out/Stay" from Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" album really hits home. It's an homage to life on the road. FANTASTIC!

[@blmeanie]

The Load Out and Stay combo from Running on Empty album is a must for next JB
