Jackson Browne has always bored the crap out of me. And this song certainly is no exception. Perhaps it should have been called "Doctor Vinnie Boombatz" or "Doctor Dees Nuts" ... that might have made it a little more entertaining and enjoyable.

In future Jackson Browne reactions, there should be a lyric discussion. Browne was one of the best lyricists around.

Absolutely! With Jackson, the story is the main thing. He was writing amazing, introspective songs while he was still in high school (These Days, for example.) Incredible singer/songwriter!

[@theecstaticinfidelhypothes9222]

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. And the lyrics mean just as much to me today as an older man as they did to me when I was younger. I kept waiting for them to dive into those words.... Alas.

[@aryehbarson]

I also miss A&A doing lyrics check. I think it adds so much, especially with notable singer/songwriters like Jackson Browne.

This was the mid 80's and though Browne had plenty of hits, none of his music held me as rapt as this album; especially side one.

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 :)

One thing about Jackson Browne is that his career paralleled those of Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Warren Zevon (and others) and they all hung out in the same "crowd" in LA in those years and they would sing back-up vocals on each others records. So don't be surprised if you think you might be hearing a familiar voice or harmony in the background of any particular song by these performers/groups, because you probably are. In fact, the backing vocals on this song were done by Steven Stills and David Crosby. For your next Jackson Browne, ANYTHING off of 'The Pretender' LP is excellent. (That's his best LP in my opinion.) 'Your Bright Baby Blues', 'Sleeps Dark and Silent Gate', and 'The Pretender' are the best from the LP though. (P.S. The particular "hand drums" in 'Doctor, My Eyes' are congas.)

[@charlieboard4862]

You MUST do "The Pretender" at some point. Along with "After The Deluge" the two masterpieces from a true Hall of Fame songwriter

[@LaserRanger15]

Like others said, back then there tons of great musicians in LA and they all played on each others stuff, wrote songs together...magical time for music

[@dannymoore6886]

Jackson always had the best California studio musicians lined up to play with him.

[@WalkerStalker]

Jackson Browne: These Days... great song!

[@sep55]

These Days, The Pretender and so many more. Just a great writer, singer, performer and all round good bloke. Also wrote most of It Ain't Easy for the Eagles, when he was fifteen or so. Saw him about ten years ago, just him and David Lindley, two immensely talented musicians!

[@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".

[@Lisse1]

My favorite cover of a Jackson Browne song has to be Nico's cover of his song: "These Days".

[@richardnanian6075]

Fountains of Wayne did a lovely cover of "These Days." Check it out. In fact, every FoW cover is kind of amazing: "Can't Get it Out of My Head" (ELO), "The Story in Your Eyes" (Moody Blues), "Better Things" (Kinks), and unbelievably "Hit Me Baby One More Time" (Brittney Spears). Adam Schlesinger's death last year from Covid was a goddamned tragedy.

[@Dr3amtime]

The Load Out / Stay from his Running on Empty album. So sweet. Perfect encore song / performance.

[@foxandscout]

I’m sure this has been said- but I can’t read through more than 1K comments: Jackson Browne wrote These Days when he was 15. He gave it to Nico (Velvet Underground) to record. It took several years… Jackson’s friend, Greg Allman began to perform it and then recorded it. Within a few weeks. Jackson also (finally!) recorded it. An amazing song from a very old soul. How does such a young teen write such a mature -and breathtakingly beautiful- song. Decades later, awesome guitarist and singer/songwriter sang it. This can be found on KZbin-but I don’t know if she ever recorded it.

[@malkamusik]

You should do Fountain of Sorrow by him. Bit of a deep track, but such a good song.

[@mikeadams2351]

Jackson Browne was/is a perfectionist...there is nothing in that song that he didn't want...

[@thekpmckay]

IMO Jackson Brown and Bob Segar stand shoulder to shoulder during this time frame. Both were amazing performers grinding it out nightly w/ a plethora of catchy top 40 tunes that insured a strong live show attendance. They were a wet dream for any A&R man at any studio.

[@thechomiji]

The Pretender, In the Shape of a Heart, Fountain of Sorrow, Tender Is the Night, The Load Out/Stay, You Love the Thunder - so much great musicianship and laser-sharp songwriting.

[@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.

[@charleslively1714]

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

[@jotoole129]

You guys have to check out Jackson Browne’s “Something Fine” , one of the best songs ever written.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

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

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

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

[@rolabang]

One of the greatest songs in history. I was so happy you were doing it. You’ve been reviewing such mediocre songs of late. This is a CLASSIC!!

[@ablastfromyourpast9112]

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

[@FreshProduceCreative]

Yes! Jackson Browne. Great job boys! Browne is a true troubadour and poet.

[@blmeanie]

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

[@adamlanzendorfer9155]

Gotta hit "the pretender" my favorite song of his

[@Mikevdog]

Jackson Browne had so many great songs

[@go234ko96ts5]

This song which came out in March of 1972 and peaked at number 8 helped introduce me to the talented Jackson Browne The last minute or so really gave the song that extra bump. His highest charting single was SOMEBODY'S BABY hitting No. 7 on the Hot 100 in 1982 and stayed on the charts for 19 weeks.

[@Slenderbanana880]

someone get "late for the sky" on the poll, such an emotionally powerful song (Browne has a lot of those actually)

[@TrashWerewolf]

Jackson, Joni, James(Taylor) and Bruce are the Mount Rushmore of singer/songwriters! You need to explore some James Taylor soon!

[@artprince9163]

don't forget rhyming Paul Simon!

[@mariefc8504]

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.

[@Deborahtunes]

One thing I've liked about JB, is his vocals are crystal clear. There is no "guessing" about what he's singing. Back when this came out in 1972, there were no lyrics to read somewhere, unless you had the album. My favorite(s) from Jackson Browne, is between *"Running On Empty"* and a forgotten track called *"That Girl Could Sing."* A very good musician for sure...

[@Byte187]

Your next Jackson Browne song MUST be "The Load-Out/Stay"

[@garykelly7422]

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

[@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.

[@dshingle6]

“That Girl Could Sing” and “Hold On And Hold Out.”

[@marthalowe1556]

Have yall ever reacted to any Van Morrison,( another poet musician with meaningful lyrics and great music like Jackson), Brown Eyed Girl, Van's biggest radio " hit"...and the masterpiece INTO THE MYSTIC??? I truly believe you will dig Van Morrison...,as well as more early Jackson Browne.

[@midnightfury7267]

You need to take a ganders at Jackson Browne's "Cocaine" Fun note" The Jackson 5 did a cover of "Doctor My Eyes"

[@mcriff422]

"In the Shape of a Heart"....one of his greatest and overlooked songs.

[@keithcarper8809]

The lead guitar was Jesse Ed Davis of Taj Mahal's band. Listened to the track once and laid down that track, one take. RIP Jesse
