Jackson Brown: Lives in the Balance (1986)

I find it difficult to know what to say about this record. It's by no means the best JB album and it doesn't come close to being my favourite. For part of the record, Jackson turns his attention to politics. The following song is probably the best track on the album.

Jackson Browne: Hold Out (1980)

I find this to be a rather boring record, but I do like the track Boulevard, which got lots of airplay back in the day. The most disappointing thing has to be that the lead-off track, Disco Apocalypse, does not in any way live up to its name.

Jackson Browne: The Pretender (1976)

Look at those pants. Is it just me, or is the waist a little too high? I suppose if you like Jackson Browne, you will like this record. Otherwise, you probably won't. I prefer some of his other records much better.

Jackson Browne: Late for the Sky (1974)

Sadly, my copy of this record is not in the best of shape, which is too bad, because the album is really good. The guitar work, by David Lindley, is superb. Of course, the album is folky and mellow, but I like the songwriting and the accompanying music. This tends to be the kind of music I would listen to late at night or early on a Sunday morning. When I am cooking or ironing, I need something with a little more energy.
