-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... 
Кино
Late For The Sky, the whole album, from beginning to end. Nineteen-seventies California existential angst at its finest.
I picked up used copies of Late For The Sky and Joni Mitchell’s Ladies of the Canyon at the Rose Bowl swap meet in the late 70s. They’re still 2 of my favorite albums!
They absolutely should do Late For The Sky (even just for their own enjoyment)
My all,time favorite album!❤️🤘🏻
The first time I heard "Late For the Sky" was in Scorsese's "Taxi Driver."
I always associate that song and that movie.
This is one of my “desert island” albums. As in - if you have to live on a desert island and can only take four albums with you.
He was 16 when he wrote this. My favorite song of his.
Mine too... And "The Pretender"
better question how does a 16 year old write this?
Ditto
@@phantom629 When you're a 16 year old Jackson Browne.
I've never understood how someone who's 16 could write a song like this. it still blows me away. while i don't think his version is my favorite version of it, his lyrics are just perfection.
the late great David lindley on lap slide guitar 🎸
i feel so lucky that i got to see lindley in 2012ish. took a road trip across the whole province for it. probably cost me a thousand dollars in gas and roadside hamburgers but such a good move.
@@leonmattigosh2525 :) for me it was just a small neighbourhood venue (totally packed for him) and he sat up on stage all on his own. surrounded by instruments :) obviously an 'old man' but still . . . well, still 100% david lindley. i've seen him and seen cooder and i feel like those are two of the big bucket list things.
I don't know when people started calling pedal steel guitar "lap slide guitar." I do know, when the album was released, it identified David Lindley as playing pedal steel on this track. (Edit: sp)
Pedal steel is its own instrument. He played it sometimes. But mostly he played a normal guitar (with the action raised) laid across his lap.
And David Paich on keyboards, Keltner on drums......
"Don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them"
greg allmans cover says "i'm aware of them" powerful stuff
Could be the best closing lyric line ever. It hurts everyone who hears it 😞
"had" - (> more poetic)
Thanks for posting those lines from the song-anyone can relate to that. 👍❤️ 6:58
David Lindley is awesome
The tears started almost immediately. Sometimes I wish I could go back and live in the 70's again. Not as a do over, but more to appreciate what we had in the moment. I got to see him a few years ago when he was touring with James Taylor. What a pair that is!
I caught him in the 80s, and just a couple years ago opening for Taylor. He was perfect both times.
Me too, what a great time be alive.
Oh I do too. I was 13 in 1970 and grew up on Eastern Long Island. Phenominal music, free and easier times my friend. Music encompassed me at 7.
I saw Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Shaun Colvin and Bruce Hornsby. Great show! I've seen JT 5 times. First time in 76
I have loved Jackson Browne since the 70"s. Love his voice and his lyrics.I saw him a few years ago as well with James Taylor in Jacksonville, FL. I also saw him again in Jacksonville a few months ago with him and his band.
Another tear jerker: “Fountain Of Sorrow”. Starts off sad, ends so joyously.
Love that album!!!!
It's the ultimate thinking about your ex-girlfriend song.
Jackson wrote that song about Joni Mitchell, who he’d had a brief relationship with. You have to wonder how she felt about it, because it’s a little too close to home.
@@Mike-rk8px - Glad you said it - I was going to say that it was about Joni - if someone else hadn't.
I love that song. I used to sing it at acaoustic gigs
He’s simply one of our great American songwriters. Legend
Jackson Browne is a national treasure.
The first song I heard from him was "Doctor My Eyes". I was about 12. I recently heard he was only 17 when he wrote it. How could a teenager have that much insight?
Classic definition of an old soul ...
I was a 70's rocker and resisted Buying Jackson's music. But finally decided to buy Doctor my Eyes Album, because I liked that one song. Within a year I had all his Albums including his latest album at the time "Hold Out."
I remember hearing it for the first time while shopping, my freind told me about thus great new song she heard. I too was turning 13 in 72. We really did have the best music.
“For A Dancer” is a beautiful song, some of the best poetry ever put to sheet music.
Excellent recommendation for next JB tune.
As I have reached 70years old, For A Dancer hits me very deeply. It can bring tears and/or smiles. The entire Late For The Sky album is so beautiful
@@billbitterman9487 I fell in love with this cover version by Clive Gregson and Christine Collister. Somehow being sung as a duet brings even more meaning to the lyrics. ruclips.net/video/WZ0lnP5_91Q/видео.htmlsi=K8VNkBQmSbBqD0RZ
Late for the Sky is a masterpiece!
Yes!!!!
David Lindley was an amazing musician. He enjoyed buying cheap guitars from pawn shops and making them sound like a million dollars. His slide guitar playing with Jackson Brown was always both amazing and tasteful. RIP David.
He's not underrated by most people. One of the greatest lyricists in contemporary music. The fact that he can also write memorable melodies is icing on the cake. He never writes with cliches -- every phrase he uses comes out of his own mind.
After all these years of listening to JB, I've never heard a bad song. And his live concerts are 100% professional. On point!!!!
I saw him at the Kokua Festival on Maui in 2004..finale was JB with Jack Johnson, Ozomatli, G. Love..
Amazing show, insane finish!
I've seen him 5 times... spectacular. And the sound quality has been superb at every one. I love how a roadie brings him a different guitar for every song
Jackson Browne is probably the most underrated singer/songwriter in r&r history. The man probably couldn't write a bad song if he tried. Impeccable taste, exquisite musicianship, soulful lyrics, and a damn fine voice. I became a fan of his first album in 1972 and have loved everything he's released since. Not only do I still love his music, it never gets old or boring - because it's so soulful and deep. Glad you guys appreciate him as much as I, the commenters below do. Dig deeper; there are so many masterpieces there with no clunkers.
Standard "underrated" comment confirmed.
Could not agree more...Spot on! I was a fan after my first listening to his first album, "Saturate before using."
@@historyguy5942 The first album is called "Jackson Browne".
@@therealimnotjiminyYes, and “The White Album” is really named “The Beatles”. Both are more commonly referred to by their alternate names.
I totally agree. There are very few artists with multiple albums without a single weak track. Jackson Browne has several, as does Joni Mitchell. The two best singer-songwriters ever.
"Rock Me On the Water" from his first album is a gloriously spiritual experience!
That’s a great song.
In the Shape of a Heart, Jackson Browne unbelievably good.
Absolutely my favorite of his. Still remember the first time I heard it on the radio. I was driving home late at night and those haunting tones captivated me. Still makes me feel that way today! ❤️
@@andyruntonNothing past Running on Empty is really worth bothering with.
My wife died of cancer 7 months ago. I've listened and taken solace in this song, which had new meaning to me. How JB could have written this as a teenager, I just do not know.
Sorry to hear that, hope you're doing okay.
Thinking of you in Hanover, PA💙💙💙
I’m really sorry, Michael. I hope you’re doing as well as can be expected💙
Peace be with you
🙏🏻
Brown and Gregg Allman were good friends.
Allman does a very deeply soulful version of this song.
JACKSON BROWNE:
"Here Come Those Tears Again"
My favorite!!!
Jackson Browne one of the greatest song writers of all time!
The story goes that JB was a 17 yr old hanging out at Dennis Wilson's house in Laurel Canyon with a who's who of rock nobility - Joni Mitchell, Steven Stills, Glen Frey, David Crosby, among others - at a jam session. Everyone was taking a break when Jackson picked up an acoustic guitar and played "These Days". Everyone in the room just froze and their mouths dropped open in an "O My God" moment!!
Laurel Canyon omg a beautiful place for artists writing and sharing music.
The boys should definitely make a movie night out of watching the 2 part Laurel Canyon documentary done in 2020.
It's fantastic.
Don’t forget Charles Manson.😀 always so weird to think of him hanging out there.
Greg Allman covered “These Days” with minor lyric changes on his first solo LP “Laid Back” in 1973. My favorite version of the song.
Gregg’s soulful voice makes this my favorite version of this song. I prefer his lyric change ; it makes it flow better.
I agree, the Greg Allman version of “These Days” is amazing and is one of my all time favorite songs. But Jackson Browne is a genius and has an excellent catalog of songs.
@@khobbs3006 "his" lyrics are just the complete song. JB left out some of the lyrics from his version.
My mother's third cousin produced that record.
Great to, but with no mr Dave. Goodness me, Mr polyester was the man!
For Everyman and Late for the Sky both need to be on your album list.
A big amen to that!
Agree! They’re both masterpieces.
Absolutely!!
For Everyman was my anthem this winter.
Hell you can throw in Saturate When Using and Running on Empty
“Late for the sky” has to be next. He literally wrote that song just so he could use that phrase in a song
It's one of those songs where the title doesn't appear in the lyrics until the very end. "Questions 67 and 68" by Chicago is another one.
Yes. Please! Late for the Sky! Whom amongst us can't relate? If you cant...well you are one of the lucky ones. ;)
He wrote it at 16, and gave it to Nico a year or so later, who was the first to record it. Several YEARS later Greg Allman began to sing it in concerts and then recorded it, Jackson recorded it right after. They were good friends.
Tom Rush covered it as well
Roommates way back, I believe.
Greg and Jackson performed this live together. There's a RUclips video. This whole album is fire.
I know I requested this from you guys a year or two ago. Oh, well.
THANK YOU! I don’t know Jackson nearly as well as I should, but as I was listening along, a couple specific spots jumped out at me, and I couldn’t figure out why, or who it reminded me of.
@@maurabkf Yes. I'm glad somebody said that.
"He wrote it for Nico" Nah.
I have been fortunate enough to see Jackson live a few times and this song has the whole audience in stunned silence for a few seconds after it's finished, everyone with very moist eyes then suddenly all rise as one in the most tumultuous standing ovation with such an outpouring of emotion, something only music can do.
Well said!! 😎
Tell me how a 16 year old boy has the depth of soul & emotion to write this!
Love that album cover of Jackson sitting in the inner courtyard of the Abbey San Encino which was built by his grandfather Clyde and is a historical landmark in Los Angeles.
When asked about this recently- how does a teenage write this, his answer was that perhaps we underestimate the depth of emotions that teenagers have. That’s true, but also, he’s talented.
I have always asked that question myself. What does a 16 year old know about the depth that he is singing about. What Jackson said is true teenagers truly don't get looked at for there deep emotions. But lots of teenagers have deeper emotions and feelings than most adults. Love this song!!!
Yep, sometimes teenagers can go well beyond the classic teenage angst, and come up with something much deeper. Check out The Man With The Child In His Eyes, by Kate Bush - written when she was just 13 (although recorded when she was 16).
Clyde, also Jackson's first name.
Jackson Browne would probably be the deepest rabbit hole you would ever go down. Keep going! You’ll never want to stop.
Listen to Rock Me on the Water.
Along with this song, "Fountain of Sorrow" is one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs. Similar reflective mood; beautiful and meaningful.
That's a good song too. Jackson probably wrote that about Joni Mitchell as they were breaking up.
Another great song.
His Before the Deluge.
So many great songs. So many great singer songwriters around in the early seventies. I was in college smoking weed and Jackson, Cat, Lightfoot were the sound track of my life.
Glenn Frey, telling the story, says something like this: “Every morning we'd wake up and we'd hear Jackson's piano coming through the floor from the apartment below. He would play one verse, then play it again, and again and again. Twenty times in a row, till he had it exactly the way he wanted.
True and Gregg Allman was his roommate
@@JamesCole-ep4df And Gregg Allman covered this song on his album "Laid Back"
Jackson Brown will make you cry if you're not careful.
I came to Jackson Browne for the excellent poetry and storytelling, but Lindley's lap steel and fiddle playing stole my heart.
"Fountain of Sorrow" from his 1974 album "Late for the Sky" is a good one, and not the downer you'd expect it to be. The whole album is stellar.
"Runnin on Empty" is one you will not want to miss. Think it got the most air time back in the day.
+1
A musician's musician, and a storyteller's storyteller. ✌️❤️
Gregg allman did a real nice cover of this and the two of them performed it together at the gregg concert ‘all of my friends’ which is phenominal ! Also…jackson is just such a great write the pretender , those brite baby blues. Incredible talent …
Glad to see that someone finally mentioned Gregg and Jackson performing this together. It's a great video to watch. Jackson is always a favorite. ❤
Hit the Gregg Allman version at some point too, you won’t regret it
I recently watched several interviews of Gregg. He recorded it first. Told a story about Jackson staying with him, (?and Duane).
@@fanofthefade Gregg and Jackson were roommates in LA and stayed lifelong friends. Gregg’s cover of Song For Adam is also incredible
@@fanofthefade Looked for and was happy to see this comment. It's an interesting sidebar. Would add that Jackson loved Greg's interpretation and said he felt it better captured the feeling he was trying to get across.
You have only chipped the iceberg. ALL his music seems to touch your soul. Please keep digging, he is a lyrical genius.
Perfectly said 🎶🙂
The supporting cast he had on this record is just phenomenal !
Genius songwriter and very good producer. Vocally Jackson is strong and unique. He always has the best people working with him. Love this song.
The singer-songwriters of this period in the '70s were amazing. And Jackson was in the top tier of that talented group. ❤
Sky Blue and Black is a masterpiece showing the enigma of love found and lost and what we choose linger with
I won't mention this again but Andy looks like James Gang era Joe Walsh.
I see it to
Daaaayum! Indeed! It’s a good look too.
“Fountain of Sorrow” from his album ‘Late for the Sky.’ So insightful, so heartfelt.
I have been waiting for this song from you. THANK YOU!! This is 16 year old Jackson Browne. The wrenching slide is David Lindley. Lindley's playing, especially on Jackson's music, is defining. He never played an extra note, each one shouldered its weight. Browne worked with the best of the best. Listen to it again - for yourselves. It's an incredible piece. The title piece, For Everyman, was written in response to CSN's Wooden Ships. Love watching you discover his music. Any of the oldsters on this thread will tell you that the older you get the more his music will touch you.
With the spectacular lap steel of the incomparable David Lindley running throughout.
First... time I've ever heard this song.
Me too. I’m from that era and continue to be an huge 70’s fan and have never heard this one.
i heard a nitty gritty dirt band cover of it in the late 70's and loved it so much. when i saw this vid title i was hoping so much it would be the same song.
Boy! Where have you been?
@@scottingram7634 Hey! It was the 70’s! What can I say! 😄
ive only heard a cover of this song
Jackson Browne is one of those artists that was part of my soundtrack to life from the time I was like 14 thru my late 20's. Along with several other artists back in the day.
"Hold On, Hold Out" next. Best hesitant declaration of love in a song ever.
The only other artist that I've wished would cover this song is Bonnie Raitt. She would bring out every single note and nuance.
Check out Gregg Allman‘s version from his Laid-back solo album. Jackson and Gregg were roommates in LA for a while Jackson absolutely love the way Gregg does it.
You might enjoy the Nico version of the song. I think it might even be the first recording of it.
ruclips.net/video/0_z_UEuEMAo/видео.html
@@JamesCole-ep4df Thanks. I'll check it out now.
Hope you enjoy it
And I advise you to check out the whole album it’s full of a lot of great songs
A J.B. great: Fountain of Sorrow.
Even better - knowing the female subject was Joni Mitchell.
@@murrayspiffy2815 Really! I did not know that.
Yeah, that line "Don't confront me with my failures; I had not forgotten them" just rings so hard
I enjoy Jackson Browne but gonna admit I've never heard this one before. That said, it's a beautiful song. Solid A from me.
Glen Frey of The Eagles lived in an upstairs garage apt in LA. His downstairs neighbor was Jackson Browne.
Oh yea, classic Jackson Browne. You guys should listen to the Running on Empty album all the way through. It’s a live album of all original music played in different settings on a tour he did in 1976 or 77. Some songs in theaters, some in hotel rooms, one is on the tour bus cruising down the highway. It’s really unique and amazing. Same album that Load Out and Stay are on.
Absolutely. My favorite JB album.
The best ❤
The album went 7x platinum and spent 65 weeks on Billboard charts. It's the first album he put out after his wife committed suicide. I think it is the most intimate album I've ever heard. He clearly wanted this to be a shared experience between artist and listener.
My favorite too!
@@texasca9753 Nope. His wife died in March 1976, The Pretender came out in November 1976, with Here Come Those Tears Again on it - written by JB and Nancy Farnsworth, his wife's mother, written about his wife/her daughter, AFTER Phyllis, his wife, died. SMFH
He originally wrote the song for Nico who recorded it in 1967. A lot of people don’t realize he was in New York for a few years, he’s so associated with SoCal. Gregg Allman also does a great cover.
No.
Jackson played guitar for Nico (who was an original member of The Velvet Underground and went solo pretty early on). The first recording of this is by Nico and Browne plays electric guitar (for the first time on record). Andy Warhol told Browne to play an electric to make it sound more "modern." That explains the finger-picking style used by Jackson.
"Don't confront me with my failures, I've not forgotten them" is one of the greatest lines ever in contemporary poetry.
My Opening Farewell
Fountains Of Sorrow
A Song For Adam
"The Barricades of Heaven"
~Sky Blue & Black~
A&A, you'll love his "Somebody's Baby" and "Tender Is the Night" !!!!
great protest song "lives in the balance" "rock me on the water" "before the deluge"
That's pop music. Let them enjoy his rich, earlier stuff, first.
Tender is the Night is ok. Somebody's Baby is an 80s pop tune. It works in the teen movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but my least favorite JB song.
@@jimreadey4837 Especially Somebody's Baby, totally pop and not representative of JB's best music.
2 of his worst. LOL
For a Dancer is so meaningful to me....about life and loosing someone. Love the lyrics "I can't help feeling stupid standing still". Love the short blips of him on History of the Eagles. He lived downstairs and would be playing early in the morning.
Lucky enough to get tickets to see Jackson Browne open for James Taylor in St.Louis; Jackson's voice is still as good today as it was back then, great concert. Great reaction A&A!
David Lindley slaying the lap steel guitar like no one else can...
Your astute comments about the song are on par with the immense quality of the song itself. Wise beyond your years, lads. Outstanding reaction!
“Wish I had this song a few months ago…” 😂
It’s nice when music lets you know you’re not alone.
The original version that Nico recorded is worth hearing. Nico’s voice has a haunting quality that matches the melancholic tone of Jacksons lyrics a little better. Also, the arrangement is quite different.
You really should also consider checking out Jacksons Brownes album Running On Empty in its entirety. You will not be disappointed.
OR they could listen to my 2 hour recording of Nails on a Blackboard.
“That Girl Could Sing” for your next Jackson Browne
Yep, it doesn’t get any better than this! Excellent lyrics, excellent vocals, excellent band! Alex really gets it too! Thanks guys.
One of the greatest and most timeless songs ever!
The most consistently exceptional poet/ songwritter in my 72 yrs. EVERY album is exceptional, not just a few songs like most albums but everything. I've listened thousands of times over the last 50 yrs. 3 albums on Rolling Stone Top 500, 2 categories in the R&R Hall of Fame, performer, and lyricist. " Late for The Sky" was added to the Natioal Record Registry. My respect and admiration come from the fact that he never sold out for riches and lives what he writes. His music has been a lifeline in my very difficult life. I saw him for the 2nd time my birthday, Sept 25, 2022, at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Mid stage row 3, the best present I ever received! He'll be on that stage singing until they "come for my" his coffin. If we were all half of what he is, the world would be an awesome place. My utmost respect and admiration for you, Mr. Browne
Exquisite steel guitar by the inimitable David Lindley, may he rest in peace. He was so much a part of Jackson Browne's sound that it's hard to imagine how JB can tour without him.
The entire For Everyman album is a complete masterpiece. Late for the Sky maybe gets more praise (rightgfully so, it's amazing), but to me For Everyman is his masterpiece.
And he was a teenager when he wrote this....
"The Barricades of Heaven"
~Sky Blue & Black~
Jackson Browne is definitely one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. His songs never fail to bring out so many emotions in me.
I’d recommend “Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate”, “Here Come Those Tears Again”, “Your Bright Baby Blues”, “Tender is the Night”, “Late for the Sky” and “For a Dancer”. What am I saying-just listen to all of his albums. Jackson Browne has never put out a bad song and the lyrics are amazing. I appreciate them even more as I get older.
Those are deep and fantastic songs. They make you think with good music added in.
Lindley stamped every song with a musical dialogue. Genius.
That entire lp deserves a full listen.
You nailed this song and it's been a staple in my collection for years. Jackson Browne is an amazing songwriter and his lyrics can grab you so often. I would love it if you can react to Before the Deluge and Late For The Sky soon. Really enjoy your reactions.
So many just beautifully crafted songs - the writing (both lyrics and music), the vocals, the instrumental performance, just one after another. The Pretender is right up there, and I'm partial to Doctor, My Eyes.
You have to hit his Late for the Sky album it's phenomenal from start to finish. You should start with the title song, Late for the Sky. Jackson Browne is a treasure!
You guys are barely scratching the surface on Jackson Browne. Keep it up. Bright Baby Blues, The Fuse, After the Deluge, Fountain of Sorrow, For a Dancer.
Bright Baby Blues is my favorite!
Listen to the piano in the background❤️ Just a timeless, lovely song❤️
Ready or Not is an all time favorite off that album. I wore it out in the late 70s after I discovered Jackson Browne with Running on Empty.
In coming to this channel, I feel like I am in a classroom, learning from teachers much my juniors, about music I was alive for but missed or never full appreciated. I never understood the magnitude of Jackson Browne beyond his track for “Fast Times at Ridgement High.” Learning from other listeners about his influence onSo 0:12 Cal music scene of the 70s and hanging with Joni Mitchell, CSN, Denis Wilson, etc. searching out “For a Dancer” and being completely moved. Thanks for the channel, lads. It’s much more than I expected.
jackson. my all time favorite, forever.
David Lindley and Jackson Brown go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Great way to start the week guys, thank you. Sweet Mother, Jackson Browne always melts my heart. Add the piano and I'm mush lol. Now I have to go listen to more by the band. Have a great week ✨️✨️✨️✨️
So much of Jackson’s music is like this. Carves out real, insightful takes on matters with deep emotional resonance.
Funny you mention Jackson and the Eagles. They all knew each other. Jackson wrote “Take it Easy” the Eagles break out hit.
What a helluva songwriter. Thanks for the reaction guys!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. That’s all.
Brown has so many great songs. I can't remember if you have done "The Pretender" before, but that is a great one. "Late For The Sky" has always been a favorite of mine too. As others have mentioned the whole "Running On Empty" album would be great for a full album review.
Tender Is The Night. In The Shape Of A Heart. Fountain of Sorrow. Here Come Those Tears Again. That Girl Could Sing. Somebody's Baby. Also "Rosie" Sooo good!
Big JB fan. Waited 40 years to see him but finally got to a few years ago. And he still sounds wonderful! He is such a phenomenal writer.
Jackson Browne, to me, was always the epitome of a 70s dude. Great guy.
I was fortunate enough to see Jackson Brown at the FOX theater in Atlanta in the late 70's. He did this song as well as The Load Out and the Pretender. Gregg Allman joined him for These Days and their voices together was like melted butter. So damn good.
“He’s so fucking underrated, at least by me.” This songs has that effect.
So many artists contributed to this album. Gotta mention David Lindley, who played slide guitar on a load of Jackson’s records, and many others, who we lost just over a year ago. Very talented guy.
i would so love to see these guys react to cat food sandwiches or little green bottle :D
very true Larry😀
Through the years Jackson has added verses to the song. Two of my favorites of his is "The Late Show" and "For a Dancer". He still tours so you guys should check him out.
The man has a remarkable catalog. One of the great lyricists in rock.
"Sky Blue and Black" is an underrated Jackson Browne song. Just as melodic and soulful as this one.
This is such an amazing song. Little wonder he’s been a fave of mine since childhood.
16 years old when he wrote this song ... just simply amazing
