Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

His third album, and arguably his finest, Late for the Sky continues Browne's sincere self-analysis into positively grim territory. The title track concerns the lingering effects of a dead relationship and was featured in Martin Scorcese's film Taxi Driver. While "For a Dancer" confronts death head-on, "Farther On" explains the difficulties faced by so-called dorks who live life through books, films or music; and "Before the Deluge" forecasts environmental gloom and doom. Guitarist David Lindley adds terrific counterpoint to Browne's musing, supporting the tracks with tasteful slide and fiddle work. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Browne 4 Dec 2000
By R. Turk
Format:Audio CD
Late For the Sky is now more than 25 years old, but to me it still sounds as fresh today as it did back in the 70s. If you have rarely listened to Jackson Browne or have always wondered what all the fuss was about then just listen to 'For A Dancer' , which was stangely missing from his recent 'Greatest Hits compilation.

this is one of those rare abums that sounded beautiful, graceful and down right amazing on the first listen. Browne's luxurious, pure voice perfectly compliments the spine tingling melodies. This album will hit your heart like a sledgehammer and you'll come out the other end awe inspired and gobsmacked by 'late for the skys' sheer mastery in creating a gorgeous, stirring musical landscape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime stuff 2 Dec 2002
Format:Audio CD
Often cited by critics as Jackson's best work (though I prefer the angst-filled "Pretender"), this is a wonderful album, which I have been listening to regularly since 1974, and never grown tired of. Never one to forget his past, Jackson's lyrics are deeply personal, but have universal significance. "For a Dancer" evokes precisely the mixed emotions of parenthood, while "Before the Deluge" is a masterpiece, in which Jackson delivers his best line - "Let the music keep our spirits high". He delivers on the promise too. Great stuff.

This a good album from the golden period for denim clad navel gazers, back in LA at the start of the seventies. Jackson Browne is a skilled songwriter and a pretty nifty performer. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
One of my favourites of Jackson Browne, when you think how young he was writing these lyrics it makes you marvel at his comprehension of life at so young an age .
