Jackson Browne - For Everyman Album

Jackson Browne cemented the idea of the California singer-songwriter in the musical lexicon with the For Everyman album. Part country artist, part folk artist, Browne strings together a series of highly introspective cuts that would later come to define his oeuvre. My personal favorites on this wonderful album are "Our Lady of the Well", a stimulating reflection of Browne's social and political concerns mixed with a celebration of the rural peasantry of Latin America, "Take It Easy" written with Glenn Frye of the Eagles and recorded by both Browne and the Eagles and "These Times You've Come" about an old pair of lovers who still see each other in a romantic light even though they have parted.
