Product Description
From Amazon.com
Jackson Browne's second album defined the idea of the Southern California singer-songwriter--one part country, one part folk, eight parts introspection. It would be disgustingly maudlin except for the fact that Browne has some powerful songs, like the title track and "Lady of the Well." But he can up the volume a little, turning out a version of his own "Take It Easy" that outdoes the Eagles and cranking up the bar-band boogie on "Redneck Friend." For the most part, though, it's late nights in the dark and candlelight, and Jackson Browne did it well. --Chris Nickson

None Better,
By bigpull (So Cal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Everyman (Audio CD)
If you're looking for an introduction to recent hall of fame inductee Jackson Browne, this is where to start. After the success of his debut lp titled JACKSON BROWNE and the single DOCTOR MY EYES, JB had the creative control over the making of his next record every artist hopes for and he didn't disappoint. It kicks off with his marvelous version of TAKE IT EASY which he cowrote with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Many of the songs here; FOR EVERYMAN, OUR LADY OF THE WELL, I THOUGHT I WAS A CHILD and SING MY SONGS TO ME are so relative to the early 70's when it was becoming clear that the optimism of a better world rooted in the 60's generation was crumbling and there is a feeling of disullusion to them. Along with TAKE IT EASY, Browne breaks the mood with the hilarious rocker, REDNECK FRIEND that even today could slip by the FCC sensors. READY OR NOT is a fine description of how life can change drastically when you least expect. Also included is the beautiful THESE DAYS which Gregg Allman, Browne's old roomate from their days of struggling unknowns in LA, had previously put out on his first solo record.Not only was this recording the beginning of JB's partnership with the talented David Lindley (Guitars, Fiddle), it also features the backing vocals of Frey, Don Henley, Bonnie Raittand David Crosby, as well as a who's who of emerging studio players who would be found on numerous hit records over the years. This record flows beautifully and although JB's next record LATE FOR THE SKY is often cited as his highwater mark, I prefer FOR EVERYMAN. It has a less somber tone and Browne's singing is superior. This recording along with a handful of others represents the finest of the singer/songwriters who emerged in Southern California in the early 70's

Thought I Was A Child.....,

Excellent album by J Browne. Has to be one of the best I own!I'm ordering this pricey item for the "sonic" upgrade factor. The original pressing is good but I have decided to go for it.... The talent on this is top notch. "Red Neck Friend" is a hoot and the big hit for the Eagles, "Take it Easy" is here too. We played this constantly back in the seventies and it has a new lease on life today. Some of the music from that time still stands up well "These Days". UPDATE This remaster will not be a top ten in my collection. It is NOT worth it.... This is not as advertised. It is a remaster from 1996! Even the "product info" says a 2005 release. It is misleading. The mastering tech changes often with sonic quality increasing as the years pass. If they just state that this was remastered 15 years ago, then we could all feel a lot more "customer-centric".....I am disappointed. SUPERUPDATE: They refunded my total cost.....that is "customer-centric" Bravo....

The Only One I'll ever buy...,
By Brent (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Everyman (Audio CD)
I alluded to a song from this album, "Ready Or Not" in my review of Alvin & Mylon's "On The Road To Freedom." It's a interesting little ditty about his ladyfriend (please tell me it wasn't Darryl Hannah) turning up....pregnant. In the key of "E," Jackson tells us, "someone's gonna have to explain it me." Dude, if you didn't know then, you've only your folks (I guess) to blame. And there's a great version of "Take It Easy" on this thing too, yeah, THAT one that he wrote for the Eagles. A tad too...."mellow" for my tastes, but then there's a song, "Redneck Friend," which ain't bad. The pianist noted in the liner notes is - ahem - "Rockady Johnnie." Which translates to a still closted, not yet a "sir," Elton John. I just can NOT deal with Jackson Browne in all honesty; however, after hearing "Ready Or Not" while "similarily inclined," I guess I felt I had to run out in a buying frenzy and purchase the album. It ain't bad, but my wife's the only one of us who listens to it anymore. Go figure...
