Its title aside (which suggests that Hoagy Carmichael was some distant forerunner of Jackson Browne or Dar Williams, a case that would be both difficult and a little absurd to make), there’s no doubt that First of the Singer Songwriters: Key Cuts 1924-1946, a four-disc, 101-track collection from English reissue label JSP, is carefully and [...]

There's something unique about this everything that has passed, but yet to come sound from My Cousin, The Emperor. After landing 7th in IOTY09, and impressing even members of the contest winners Fortune & Spirts, I'm left with my last review of IOTY09, and the latest release of these Brooklyn, NY natives (formerly known as The Populists). Before I go any further, it should be said that the downloads...

Jeez Louise, enough already. I haven't heard this much whining since the Rose Bowl ran out of chicken fingers at the post-game media spread. I nearly died of embarrassment for my industry when those two guys from the Metroplex went to the floor wrestling over the last lukewarm Miller Lite. I'm guessing they were both TCU graduates, but I can't remember because I was in the back of the room hugging...

Anne and I took advantage and hit the road, heading for Brooklyn to celebrate the iconic bird with family. It [...]

As both the precocious bard and poet laureate of the Laurel Canyon elite, Jackson Browne created a late-'60s/early-'70s repertoire that found him standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other notables of the day. Alongside peers such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young...

"I thought of all the empty miles ... And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes." --> Jackson Browne Jackson Browne's third album... "Late For The Sky" (1974)...is filled with layers and layers of emotional watercolors. Like a surgeon, Browne exacts just the right words and tones for each song.

"You love the thunder / and you love the rain." Sorry that y'all are having to dig out from the deluge of Tropical Storm Ida, Durham. I'm in the Sunshine State today -- enjoying the high-seventies and sunshine in the part of the Panhandle that didn't get deluged. I can't help you much if you like the rainy weather. But if you like Jackson Browne -- who sang about thunder and rain in one of...
