Jackson BrowneFor Everyman

Browne's tender, searching early-'70s songcraft in full bloom. 'These Days' aches with wisdom beyond his years, 'Take It Easy' gives his co-written Eagles hit a wearier, more reflective reading, and the title track closes on quiet, communal hope. Warm pianos, gentle slide guitar, lyrics that sit with you. Soft-spoken Laurel Canyon poetry at its finest.
