5.0 out of 5 stars Browne at his best (again), February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pretender (Audio CD)

Browne continues his survey of the human condition in "The Pretender". His band really kicks it into gear after their subdued, yet stellar, performance on his previous album, "Late for the Sky", and contributes more to the overall quality of this work than on any JB album to date. I wonder how many of us can relate to songs like, "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate" or "Daddy's Tune"? "The Fuse" is a wonderful track, both in its instrumentation and its lyrics. This CD doesn't seem to suffer from the muting of Brown's voice and some of the instruments which seemed to plague "Late for the Sky", and thus I give it a five-star rating! Buy it!

Jackson is my favorite singer-songwriter. I tell anyone I discuss music with the he is my "Lyrical God." An amazing poet/writer and musician. My favorite song is "Bright Baby Blues," which he initally change the words to once he recorded the song. This is a great album displaying his brilliance.

Jackson Browne fans know of the personal losses for Jackson. Losses of wife and closests of friends.Things that leave you at a loss for words ..But not for Jackson.Catharsis comes to mind for myself and possibly J. This release and with other songs (for a dancer) have helped myself,and others deal with personal loss . I thank him for that. BUT this is a review so.. As a loong time J.B. fan and fellow so.cal. oldie its my favorite with craig Russ,David,etc. Just listen to 'yer bright baby blues' Brilliant I think It's one of J's personal favorites too because he has played it at every concert i've heard GET THIS C D ONE OF HE BEST FROM ONE OF THE BEST
