Stunning album, poor editing....

I've always loved this album. for me, the musical interlude between "Take It Easy" to "Our Lady Of The Well" is an absolute masterpiece of transition of theme, texture and verse; an important component of the album. Sadly, iTunes makes an arbitrary chop between the two songs and misses the whole point. The two should run together as intended. That said, it's still a beautiful and memorable work.

Brilliant in 1973, no less so today. It's like Chapter 2 in JB's book of work, preceeding Late For The Sky and The Pretender. You can hear him growing, stretching and exploring new territory while remaining true to his upbeat folksy core. Worthy purchase, will be one of your faves.

I was fortunate to see this tour in 1973. Some twists like David Lindley
playing violin on Take It Easy made it a memorable evening.
A fine follow up to a huge debut from a young singer/songwriter prodigy.
Compete Jackson Browne

For Everyman is arguably the strongest album top-to-bottom Browne has ever recorded. Every song is at least a triple if not a homerun. Great textures and even better lyrics, which range from dreamlike (Colors of the Sun, Sing My Songs to Me), humorous (Red Neck Friend, Ready Or Not), or the glorious meloncholy and introspection he is best known for. It blows my mind Browne wrote the poignant "These Days" in his teens! Not just that, David Lindley's weepy guitar is just as jaw dropping. The album ends with a segue to the opus "For Everyman", which still stands with the bes of Browne's work. This is one of the gems in Browne's catalogue for sure.

This is probably Jackson Browne's best album. Take it Easy and Red Neck Friend are both amazing songs, and Ready or Not stands out because of its off-tempo and coy humor.
released November 27, 2007?

this is his second album which was released in 1973. iTunes needs to be more accurate.

This is Jackson Browne at his finest. For me, this album began a lifelong appreciation for thoughtful, lyrical music. Jackson’s version of `Take it Easy’ is better than the Eagles’ version and `These Days’ may be Jackson’s best song. While his depth is shown off by songs like `Colors Of The Sun’, `The Times You've Come’, `Sing My Songs To Me’ and ` For Everyman’, he shows his lighter side with `Red Neck Friend’ and `Ready or Not’. This album is truly a gift to all of us.
