Jackson Browne's Back


I didn't expect much when I downloaded Jackson Browne's new offering the other day. As a matter of fact I left it sitting on my hard drive for several days before I listened. I wish I had gotten to it sooner! This is some of the best stuff he's done in years.

"Time the Conqueror" shows that Jackson Browne is still writing and performing some great music. Almost every track on this set is good with many a lot better than that. These songs feature a production style that is somewhat stripped-down, but clean as a whistle. It really shows that Jackson still has great pipes.

My favorites are the title track, Off of Wonderland and Just Say Ya. The latter sounding like something that could have appeared on Fountain of Sorrow. Again, just about every track on this set is very listenable.

If you were a fan of Jackson Browne "back in the day," this one is sure to please. If you were never a fan, give this one a listen. He just may make a fan of you yet.
