Jackson Browne
It’s an interesting situation for Jackson Browne
compilations on Amazon as I write this; you can get a 15-track CD for $16.99,
or a two-disc set for $17.29 with 32 tracks. The first one isn’t bad, but as
you might expect, the latter is a much better value. (I happen to own both,
since the single CD came out 7 years earlier.) For some reason, “That Girl
Could Sing,” a single that reached #22 on the Hot 100 in 1980, appears on
neither one.
Browne’s put out enough quality stuff over his lengthy
career that I certainly could have made this a longer list. I somewhat
reluctantly omitted his version of “Take It Easy,” since I think the Eagles did
it better.
Favorite songs:
The Load-Out / Stay (recorded live at Merriweather Post
Pavilion)
Doctor My Eyes
That Girl Could Sing
In The Shape Of A Heart
Rock Me On The Water
The Barricades Of Heaven
Running On Empty
Jamaica Say You Will
For A Dancer
Somebody's Baby
Sky Blue And Black
The Pretender
The Night Inside Me
Lives In The Balance
Bonus holiday track: The Rebel Jesus

Lyric Of The Day #27 (February 21, 2022)
“Hello there, female”
Worst pickup line ever? (OK, maybe not quite as bad as “Hey
b----“.)
