Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075596059824 Label: Elektra / Wea Manufacturer: Elektra / Wea MPN: 1017 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Elektra / Wea Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Elektra / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: His third album, and arguably his finest, Late for the Sky continues Browne's sincere self-analysis into positively grim territory. The title track concerns the lingering effects of a dead relationship and was featured in Martin Scorcese's film Taxi Driver. While "For a Dancer" confronts death head-on, "Farther On" explains the difficulties faced by us dorks who live life through books, films, or music; and "Before the Deluge" forecasts environmental gloom and doom. Guitarist David Lindley adds terrific counterpoint to Browne's musing, supporting the tracks with tasteful slide and fiddle work. --Rob O'Connor Average Rating:
 Rating: - this is a classicI've purchased this album several times. I had it in cassette, and an LP and now in CD. Jackson Browne is an incredible lyricist and musician.

This is the last of his stripped down albums (for years) which is basically just JB on guitar and piano with the legendary David Lindley plus some bass and drums to help out. ...

This album is a clearly defined moment in Jackson Browne's ouevre (SP?)he was neve3r so eloquent and melodic and would never be so again. Every song a masterpiece with one or four, amongst his best ever tracks. Songs like Fountain of Sorrow, Before the Deluge and Late for the Sky are in that category, superlative pieces each of them, but none reach the heights that is For a ... Read More Rating: - Emotional, poetic, gently powerfulWith his sleek, longish, black hair, and kind, but intense face, Jackson Browne is a troubador par excellence. "Fountain of Sorrow" has always been a favorite of mine. I've always felt a lot of connection with the person he describes in that song; someone who has gone through the storm and managed to come out intact and possibly a stronger, better person. Jackson is one of those singers whose voice is immediately recognizable. He has a style that can never be completely imitated. And to top it ... Read More |
