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
CD Description
Jackson Browne's early career was inextricably linked to the singer-songwriter movement of the 70s, and LATE FOR THE SKY has proven to be one of the era's strongest and most enduring releases. Browne's reflective songwriting style attaineda new level of maturity on songs such as "Fountain Of Sorrow" and "For A Dancer", the latter a strikingly literate meditation on death.
The high points on LATE FOR THE SKY are the title track and "Before the Deluge", two brooding songs of personal and social apocalypse that bookend the album andseem to reflect the disillusionment and weather-beaten moodof the counter-cultural generation in the early '70s. The balance between Browne's gentle, emotive voice and the tasteful arrangements perfectly matches the incisive quality of the songwriting, making LATE FOR THE SKY one of Browne's strongest, and most consistent albums.
