This is the third in a series which looks back at Jackson Browne's commercial albums by incorporating on-stage stories and radio interviews concerning the albums and their songs with selected live performances of each song in the original order from the album. In addition to the initial trip through the album, this volume includes alternate performances of 3 of the songs.

For many people Late for the Sky is their favorite Jackson Browne album. In order to keep the live performances as close as possible to the sound of the original album, I have primarily selected recordings from that era with many of the musicians who contributed to the original recording.

Most importantly: The intent of these volumes is to introduce you to Jackson Browne's albums or to renew your appreciation of them. All of Jackson's albums are still available, and hopefully if you don't have all of them or need new copies, this will encourage you to purchase them. They are available at Jackson's own web site (www.jacksonbrowne.com) and at Amazon.com.

This is the fourth volume in a series which looks back at Jackson Browne's commercial albums by incorporating on-stage stories and radio interviews concerning the albums and their songs with selected live performances of each song in the original order from the album. In addition to the initial trip through the album, this volume includes alternate performances of 6 of the songs.

While several of the songs from The Pretender are staples for Jackson in concert, a few of the songs on this album have seldom been performed. "Daddy's Tune" was one that Jackson had never been recorded performing in public until he attempted to do so during his solo acoustic tour of 2004 following an audience request. That performance is included here. Three versions of Your Bright Baby Blues have been included--a 1994 performance, a solo acoustic performance, and a 1974 performance with a band featuring David Lindley. That performance was the first ever recorded public performance of the song and-- along with a performance of the song later that year with the Eagles on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert--predates the album release by more than 2 years. The song was not recorded being performed before an audience again until 1977. Unfortunately the opening line of the song is missing from the recording, but it is definitely worth listening to anyway.

Most importantly: The intent of these volumes is to introduce you to Jackson Browne's albums or to renew your appreciation of them. All of Jackson's albums are still available, and hopefully if you don't have all of them or need new copies, this will encourage you to purchase them.
