Jackson Browne is among my most favorite musicians and a tribute album was just released with a wide array of songs spanning several years. The likes of Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Don Henley and Bruce Springsteen take on some of Jackson's tunes with some great results and some...interesting results. I'm sure we have some Browne fans on the board so I thought this might be of interest. You can buy on iTunes or stream the whole album for free here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...bute-looking-into-you-album-premiere/6850559/
Highlights for me:
Bob Schneider's "Running On Empty" is really good, different take for sure but for such an overplayed song it's nice to hear it differently.
The Indigo Girls on "Fountain of Sorrow"
I like the Austin semi-country take on "For Everyman" by Jimmy LaFave, great acoustic guitar work
Ben Harper was a great choice for "Jamaica Say You Will"
"Rock Me On The Water" by Keb 'Mo is a nice easy take on it, great work by backup vocalists
I think Bruce Hornsby's dulcimer take on "I'm Alive" will grow on me
The whiffs:
Lucinda Williams on "The Pretender" Hurts my ears. What happened here?
Felt "Late For The Sky" by Joan Osborne could've been a lot better and more powerful
Your thoughts?
