Description

The album opens with the gently driven track of "Take it easy " popularised by the Eagles, but this is a musically richer offering by its author. With the wonderful pedal steel sounds that place a layer of interest into this tongue in cheek song. This runs efforlessly and seamlessly into "our lady of the Well". This album contains many themes of longing and loss, but for me Browne avoids being maudling as the lyrical and haunting music manage to lift the listner above the sadness and yet retains the poignancy of the human condition.It would be impossible to review this album without weighing inmore… the inestimable talent of David Lindley ( Well worth checking out his own work !) His ability to weave a riveting and at times mezmerising line that counter points the tune. I find his contribution adds considerably to the elegance of this album.( also Late For the Sky, Saturate Before Using ) The depth of talent on this album probably gives an idea of it's quality .Don Henley, Glen Frey for the Eagles fans. Bonnie Rait , yes Browne was using her skills back in 1973. Joni Mithchell and David Crosby do a little too.Weakest track for me is RED Neck Friend which is a basic rock and roll track and if I were more musically literate I'd be able to tell you that it's a basic 12 bar blues or something. However the 9 other tracks are smooth and thematic, Bonnie Raits harmonies on "The Times You've Come" add a haunting beauty. For me, much of the pleasure comes from Jackson's lyrics, he has a cratsmanship with words which is often as evocative of the mood as the music itself, frequently at it's best when he is expressing sadness. Lines such as "now we are lying here so safe in the ruins of our pleasure." The album closes with two tracks that flow together. Which have quite a strong flavour of yearning for something better, paticularly in "For Everyman ". Which ends with the line "Don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand,he's just another dreamer , dreaming about everyman" Some call it slow and durge like, but for the rest its an album to soak in or maybe thats wollow.
