Great review & so completely accurate. I got the cd on pre-order & just continue to like it better with each listen. I can no longer keep track of how many Jackson Browne concerts I've attended - more than 15. He still ranks as one of my favorite entertainers today. Some years ago now, he had a solo acoustic concert in Canandaigua NY & of all his concerts, that one still stands out, purely because of his rapport with the audience that night. He had just learned that a good friend of his attending the concert had lost his father. The friend requested that Jackson sing For A Dancer which of course, he did. Sitting at the piano, he got thru' the first verse but when he began the second - "I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try, It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear, That I can't sing", he couldn't continue. He sat for a moment playing the melody on the piano & then said simply "Shit! I forgot the words". The audience took over from there. It still makes me tear up to this day. He's one of the best lyricists of our time, imo.

Hi Donald, I enjoyed the review. Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing Jackson Browne in Mesa in April. Also, looking forward to picking up the CD. He is truly one of the great songwriters of his generation.
