Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0081227809126 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Elektra / Wea Manufacturer: Elektra / Wea MPN: 78091 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Elektra / Wea Release Date: March 16, 2004 Studio: Elektra / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though Jackson Browne's albums are not plentiful--in a career that stretches 32 years, he's released just over a dozen--they're filled with songs that serve as resilient touchstones for millions who passed through those decades. Originally forging a way for himself as a songwriter, his debut, Saturate Before Using, placed him at the forefront of the southern California rock scene. His contemporaries and compatriots, the Eagles, even took his "Take It Easy" to the top of the charts. Even at his most anthemic, his songs resonate with small details that keep the proceedings human-scaled. The sympathetic accompaniment buoys a voice that's remarkable for its lack of idiosyncrasies. His unmannered singing voice is an essential component in making songs like "These Days," "Fountain of Sorrow," and "Running on Empty" flow with a casual ease that belies the high level of craftsmanship throughout. --David Greenberger Album Description: Over the past three decades, Jackson Browne has created and voiced many of the most literate and emotionally resonant compositions in popular music—and sold more than 15 million albums, including the seven-times platinum Running On Empty and the #1 Hold Out. This year Browne's artistry is celebrated with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and with this new retrospective from Rhino. Browne's first-ever double-disc set compiles hits, singles, and choice album cuts from his acclaimed catalog, spotlighting both insightful works of personal introspection and passionately delivered songs of social and political observation. The 2002 recipient of the prestigious John Steinbeck Award (honoring those exemplifying the famed writer's environmental and social ideals), Browne is a mature artist and world citizen whose work shines on this long-awaited collection.

 Rating:  - Classic JacksonThe title for this CD says it all. It is a good mix of his classics. Rating:  - Jackson BrowneJackson Browne has been a staple of the American music scene since the early 1970s, when he produced such great tunes as Doctor My Eyes and Song For Adam. But, he has never stopped producing great tunes, and this 2004, 2-CD album is a compilation of some of his best work, focusing primarily on his later career. Now, as with any "Best of..." album, there's bound to be disagreements about what should and shouldn't be included, and this album is no exception. Like I said, it skews towards his later ...

It is brilliant, and represents 30 years of Jackson Browne songs from 1972-2002. I do not know all that much else about Jackson Browne, but the songs here speak more eloquently than any biography you might read. This guy can really write, and his songs are always tuneful with strong messages, emotional truths, excellent use of words, and quite a lot of up-to-the-moment social commentary where he writes about the times we ...

Rating: - Lives in the balance?What has happened to the song "Lives in the balance" on this set? If you go to his website it sounds really great!!! On this set it sounds awfull!! It sounds as if he was in a really big hurry to get the song over with. The packaging if you could call it that is really lame. Foam dots for holders? What do you do when those fall off? I suppose you put the cd's in jewel cases or else they will get really scratched up. Not to mention it is missing some of his greatest work! True you do get alot ... Read More |
