 I love the music of Jackson Browne on this disc September 24, 2008
19 out of 23 found this review helpful
This is an interesting new album by Jackson Browne. He always makes thought provoking music. He is not afraid to express how he feels. "Where Were You" is a criticism of President Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina. This song is nearly ten minutes long, but the lyrics are so moving and powerful. "The Drums of War" is a song that questions the purpose of the war in Iraq. Jackson's vocals on the track "Time The Conqueror" are so good. This song is about the uncertain nature of life. My favorite track is the upbeat track "Just Say Yeah". This is a good song about friendship. I also like the engaging song "Off Of Wonderland". This is a song about fighting for freedom and equality. The guitar playing is so good here. Jackson sings about the good old days of the sixties on the song "Giving That Heaven Away". I really enjoyed listening to this disc.
Mature, thoughtful work from a mature, thougthful man October 13, 2008

Unless I'm mistaken, seems Jackson Browne has settled into a happy enough domestic life to allow his "Everyman" to ever-blossom. I remember reading an interview with JB, must have been about the time of "World In Motion", in which the interviewer asked him what's up with the preponderance of political songs, and Jackson replied, "Politics is what we eat for breakfast!" And how true. And though the imperiled state of our country and world obviously factors highly in his current songwriting, still Jackson Browne's huge heart shines carefully through every note and word.
As much as I adore Jackson Browne's songs about relationships--most notably on "I'm Alive" and particularly when published at times paralelling my own relationship ups and downs--I've always thanked him for reminding me though the world uplifted or fractured by romantic entanglements is real and worth talking about, there exists a larger one that requires attention. As well, no matter what I'm feeling I don't need Mr. Browne to write another "I'm Alive", I don't need him to write another "Before The Deluge"--I prefer Jackson Browne do whatever he wants to do. Why wouldn't I? He's always preferred I be happy, too. That we mostly have agreed with each other, neither of us ever needed the other to agree. That kind of freedom remains as endearing and catchy as also remains this man's compassionate, musical conversation.
Check this album out, people. This is indeed mature, thoughtful work from a mature, thoughtful artist. I realize I'm not getting into detail about particular songs. This album is just all so good I don't know where to start. Listen and decide for yourself.
When Jackson Browne bares his soul, it might not always make the world a better place to live in, but it's always clear he knows his part and does it with melody and grace. What happens next is up to the listener, without judgement.
Musically Outstanding... October 8, 2008

There's a song on "World in Motion" called "Anything Can Happen". In terms of melody, it was giant step for Jackson. The instrumental arrangements for which he had, up to that point, been known to labor over, sound awkward and don't hold up over time. The "song", however, soars and flourishes, in ways we'd not heard him sing before. I also think that it was around that time when he discovered that he, alone, could plant "melody" into a song, with or without, the help of his background singers and fellow players. On this new record there's another example of how he has developed as a composer (and singer) of melody. "The Arms of Night" is Jackson's "God Only Knows". For me, it's a highpoint, in a body of work unequaled.
Perfect Timing...For Time the Conqueror September 24, 2008
13 out of 18 found this review helpful
I don't know about others - but I do recall a time when Jackson Browne was (among others now curiously silent) a standard-bearer not only for cutting edge, brilliantly poetic music, and lyric - but also for putting it all on the line with great courage...and heart. This CD is an absolute must if you are not suffering from memory loss issues...or, if you do not feel ho-hum about what "the news" calls "America for Sale" - very sadly over-and-out stuff. Indeed, I for one finally feel like singing again (to JB's Time the Conqueror) as I turn down the sound of my TV and realize his music and lyric here present a perfect Soundtrack to the tragic reality show on Capitol Hill shown live in every media venue right now. Let's face it - how many poets, composers, and stand-up guys-and-gals out there are tackling this kind of gut-wrenchingly gorgeous and substantive art? Music that once again could embolden some of us to stand up with Jackson - no longer afraid of singing, saying, signing, and shouting - the truth. Let Freedom Sing! Thanks Jackson - this is your best album in 30 years - and your timing is divine!!
Roll Out the Drums for Jackson! October 22, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Always relevant - those reviewers who complain about his politics showing up in the record never knew him. Always a patriot - searching, wanting our country to be the best at everything, especially justice - Jackson wowed me with "Roll Out the Drums of War." It rocks and rolls and calls for change - isn't that what rock is about?? Love the high, almost falsetto voice on "The Arms of Night"; I don't remember him ever doing that before. "Going Down to Cuba" is a completely new sound for him, seemingly simple musically, but with a spare elegance of verse. Like most Browne albums, this one is best appreciated after a few listens, well worth the investment of time.
