Thank you to our Alpha patron Joel for this pick! Man, this dude can play! What an interesting blend of styles here. I heard a lot of different bands and artists in this track.

JB has a deep understanding of human nature and the ability to express it through music. "The Pretender" is a perfect example.

[@clifton8929]

Jackson Browne is widely regarded as one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. He continued to impress his fans and critics with his poignant songwriting and undisputed knack for songcraft. His Masterpiece album "LATE FOR THE SKY' is considered so good that In 2020, the album was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry. Every song on that album is a jewel. A song by song (one at a time) tribute would be something to consider. Playing them one every few weeks might take a while, but it would be worth it.

[@rossjoseph3844]

To me, the best song of the album is Fountain of Sorrow. It has one of the most clever opening lines you'll ever hear. And it is a beautiful song start to finish.

[@joelliebler5690]

A great tune

[@marcbenjamin9436]

Late For The Sky is a great album. I can’t choose the best among his first 5. They were all great.

[@edwardhubschman3610]

So again you’ve been introduced to one of the great songwriters/poets of the past 50 years. Jackson Browne’s catalogue is deep, varied and inspiring. Travel down his rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed. Check out the live performance video of The Load Out/Stay to get a better feeling for both Jackson and his band, particularly David Lindley, who we unfortunately recently lost.

[@paulbroadhurst5350]

He wrote the line: 'Don't confront me with my failings, I had not forgotten them', when he was 18, good grief!

[@johnthegreek5836]

Late For The Sky is a masterpiece and my favorite album from Jackson Browne, definitely one of the best songwriters from the 70’s

[@tommcgowan525]

The great David Lindly on fiddle RIP. You will learn to recognize and love him

[@robertthole695]

this is one of the greatest albums of all time

[@randyhochstein8455]

The title cut from this album was described by Don Henley of Eagles fame, as the most beautiful song ever written. You really should treat yourself to “Late For The Sky”. I really do like your reactions. Keep on rockin’ Lee. 😎✌🏼🇺🇸

[@L33Reacts]

I definitely want to do that one. The name stood out so much to me when looking up this album

[@cherylwoodward]

Jackson is an environmentalist and has supported environmental causes for most of his career, and this song reflects those passions. Beautiful song.

[@L33Reacts]

I can feel it! Just from that album cover alone I can just tell he cares about our home. It's gorgeous

[@IUBOSSFAN]

You reacted to Jungleland yesterday, which likely makes a Top 10 for most Springsteen fans.All you really need to know about how brilliant JB's songwriting is is that Bruce inducted him into the RRHOF, and specifically discussed this album.All of Jackson's first 5 albums are lyrical masterpieces, but Late For the Sky is imho the desert island album The title track is played thruout the classic Deniro/Scorsese film Taxi Driver and every song on this album is simply outstanding. Fountain of Sorrow is likely about Joni Mitchell, For a Dancer was inspired by the death of a close friend and two of the most underrated songs are Farther On and The Late Show. And every song features the brilliance of David Lindley on steel,slide,fiddle...If it had strings, David could play it masterfully...

[@billbitterman9487]

That is the late great David Lindley on fiddle. A brilliant musician who was important at to Jackson’s early sound. If it has strings Lindley could play

[@kenennis6287]

The whole album is brilliant. When Bruce Springsteen inducted Browne into the HOF he talked extensively about it

[@charlesharris2749]

Doctor My Eyes is one of his biggest hits. He's still around with a yt channel.

[@rhwinner]

Another impossibly beautiful song off this album....

[@ursgeiser6570]

Late For the Sky is simply a brilliant album (every song is fantastic: For A Dancer, Fountain Of Sorrow, title track...), as a Central European I'm jealous, I heard his Montreux concert 1982 in the car today. On the No Nukes album MSG 1979 there is a brilliant live version of this song, as well as a Sydney Carter cover of the 60s classic THE CROW ON THE CRADLE with Graham Nash; otherwise there is also the JB hit Stay with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty+Rosmary Butler. RIP David Lindsey on violin.

[@RichardDickson-to7zg]

Amanda Shires explained the difference. It's a fiddle when you're buying it. It's a violin when you're selling it!

[@kevinmauch5622]

My violinist friend Sheila Maguire says, "A violin has 'strings', a fiddle has 'strangs'".

[@johnlylemusic]

The real gem of this album is “Late for the Sky”.

[@L33Reacts]

Someone else also mentioned that track! Hopefully it gets requested I will totally do more from this album.

[@johnlylemusic]

@@L33Reacts Late for the Sky is probably one of the best love lost songs ever written.

[@marvinroos3520]

Now that you know who David Lindley is, go back and listen to this track and the entire album. Sit back and smile.

[@robertthole695]

one of my favorite parts of a song. he was speaking about drug addiction i thought i was flying like a bird so far above my sorrows when i looked down i was standing on my knees

[@1Imonk]

Yes, Jackson inspires.

[@marcbenjamin9436]

An amazing song. As with all early Jackson Browne, the writing is incredible.

[@ChrisMehl-h2z]

A must reaction is the Load out/Stay live! You will LOVE it, being a musician yourself. I Promise.

[@hongfang2348]

This is about losing the hope for change that was spawned in the 1960s. Young people were getting jaded and just worn out by the challenges of living.

[@L33Reacts]

Man, that could apply these days as well. I feel that so hard.

[@richardrobinson4020]

R.I.P. David Lindley, maxi-instrumentalist

[@unholycricket9657]

This entire album is awesome. No weak songs on it.

[@richardsims4779]

And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered And in the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings life in a nutshell

[@denniszimmerman1279]

Check out the title track to The Pretender. An anthem of my early adulthood.

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Wonderful musician and songwriter. Running On Empty is probably the best album anyone has created about life on the road, not a bad track on it!!

[@kristinemckee9279]

Wow I just created a Pandora channel for Jackson Browne. Singer songwriter supreme. Love his “Chasing You Into the Light”

[@L33Reacts]

Synchronicity at work!

[@joelliebler5690]

One of Jackson’s best songs!Fountain of Sorrow is incredible too!Another long forgotten Ed n singer songwriter who past on too young was Dan Fogelberg. Songs like The Cage , The Passage, As The Raven Flies( with Joe Walsh), and The Power of Gold!

[@hongfang2348]

Fiddle and violin are the same thing as far as I know. Fiddle is a more common, country name for violin.

[@steveowens2505]

“Redneck Friend” is first appearance by David Lindley on lap steel really ripping, and Elton John on piano under alias as he had no work permit, and Glen Frey who roomed with Jackson.

[@yankeeboyno7]

He wrote the initial song 'Take it Easy', could not finish it and turned it over to Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Glenn finished it and it became the Eagles first hit record off of their first album.

[@thescrewfly]

Although I found the flood of (sometimes fairly mediocre) singer-songwriters in the early 70s quite annoying at times, I always had a soft spot for Jackson Browne. He can really write.

[@GiannaEmme]

Not a single banal line in his songs❤

[@hackermusic3355]

That violin sounds like a fiddle. 😀

[@paullevinsky5256]

BTW a fiddle is a violin.

[@lindaulloa4786]

You should check out Dan Fogelberg's song Leader of the Band!

[@susanstein6604]

Please listen to Running on Empty and The Pretender.

[@marvinroos3520]

If you find yourself getting drowsy get an order of hot French fries. It works for me and others. Order them "without salt" as they'll drop a new batch. Try it. Hey, it's cheap and legal.

[@jpmnewyork]

Love you, man, but it wasn't "fun"! It's a very sad song. Pay attention to the lyrics.
