I saw Jackson Browne walking slow down the avenue...
You know his heart is perfect
And I saw a werewolf drinking a Perrier at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Werewolves of London again
Draw blood
Jackson Browne, hmmmm. Yeah, the self-titled album which I guess is now officially called Saturate Before Using is the one that deserves the classic title in my mind. Starts with "Jamaica Say You Will" and doesn't stop the heartfelt journey until "My Opening Farewell" ends side two. It's the real deal. And so is that Warren Zevon live album that the lyric is from, but that's a different tangent into an alternate space ;)
For me lately it's been Telegraph by Richard Davies. We had a nice thread about it a while back when Slosh was looking into getting one of his albums, and this album has been a big favorite of the Ex Lion Tamer and myself, as we both have the excellent sounding vinyl with the bonus 45 on Flydaddy. But I haven't had my turntable set up for awhile and when I do it's been on an intermittent basis because of moving and space issues and the like. But one of my buddies here just recently dropped a copy of the CD on me and I'm loving it again. What a great album! Didn't realize how much I missed hearing it on a regular basis. Not the type of music that knocks your socks off on first listen, but one that definitely can worm it's way into your brain and ultimately, into your heart. Kind of like Canada's own poster boy for underappreciated troubadoors, Ron Sexsmith. Love it!
