[CRAZY-HORSE]

JACKSON BROWNE "the very best of..." cd,1997.

i know Gryphon seems to have a few reservastions with JB, but i sure dont!
not sure where to put him neither...folk(for folk rock),pop or classic rock, but i decided on classic rock because,well, just because...?!
never a huge artist as in top 10 hits anywhere, but a consistant top 20 hit maker over a period of almost 20yrs from 1972ish..albums pretty much the same, had a peak from 1978-82ish,otherwise,reasonable sales in top 20s each side of that time period.
not really sure, but if i had do describe his music i would have to say he is a cross between say James Taylor and The Eagles maybe?
some absolutlely brilliant radio friendly pop standards on here that have stood the test of time very well, enough great tracks on here to push this one into the "love" range also...sort of like Steely Dan IMO...made a hell of a lot of great songs but always played second fiddle to other artists back in the day...the same as Small Faces,Who and Manfred Mann did in the 60s.
