Jackson Browne
Posted by: Sloop John B on 03 October 2005
Read 31 songs this summer, good read - so when I came across a Jackson Browne album in the brother in laws house I decided to borrow it.
The Pretender - first listen half background - not too impressed. Second one the songs came apart more and seemed more familiar that one listen would normally have brought.
3rd listen full on proper the lyrics impresses greatly. His voice which I originally thought was bland in the MOR extreme began to have the emotion of the lyric - no Bob Dylan but no Phil Collins either.
So then fellow travellers, where does the Pretender stand in the Jackson Browne pantheon. Any other recommendations from his repertoire, even a bit of bio, anything from fans or antifans.
My ignorance of him is total
