    Six years on from his last, with a white beard grown, Browne delivers elegantly considered weight and truth. [Nov 2008, p.119]

    Browne recorded with his longtime quartet in a style that evokes his recent solo acoustic work, and their quicksilver craft leaves no need for overworked arrangements.

    Most of these songs feel like quickly dashed off poems; it's all "tell" with no "show," because there isn't anything in the music to effectively offer them to the listener as conversation; instead they are on display as mixed-message sermons.

    T    hanks to Jackson Browne's lyrical genius, my overall appreciation for all well written and composed music has expanded to nearly every genre. There are still a few music genres that are truly unbearable. No matter how talented or damn sexy the individual/s are. As a child growing up my musical preferences was based solely from trending FM radio play. Which, for me was Hip-Hop/R&B and 80's Europe bands. It wasn't until I began golfing with dad that I opened-up to alternative forms of music. Driving home from the golf course my father would either be listing to AM Talk-radio or jamming a Jackson album. This one particular journey home "Rosie" was playing and my father asked me "Listen to this entire song and tell me what it's about?" I replayed that song over-and-over again, at least a dozen times, as I tried to decipher it's content. Took me a little over a decade (age 19-21) to figure that one out but I finally did. A song sexual hardships and having to resort to masturbation that's eloquently composed and has a very catchy chorus.... Dude's absolutely BRILLIANT!!… Collapse
