Jackson Browne's debut AKA Saturate When Using, called so because of the "fish wrap" cover is one of those albums I never sat down and listened to until today.  Late For The Sky and The Pretender were the ones of my 70's household.  Running On Empty I wrote about a couple years back.  Hold Out I've had since 1980 from my number 1 album collection and then ignored him after that save a unavoidable radio hit like "Lawyers In Love."   I guess that leaves the second one, For Everyman, for further review.  As for this, only the massive hit "Doctor My Eyes" was previously known and nothing I had particular affection for despite Jesse Ed Davis guitar all over it.

Actually the two tracks that really made my ears perk up were the two Albert Lee appear on: "A Child In These Hills" and "Under The Falling Sky."  The other one was the ode to a distant friends suicide, "Song For Adam."  The rest sounds like you'd expect a Jackson Browne record to sound like in the first half of the 70's, at least through The Pretender.

The El Lay session people of the day: Sneaky Pete on Pedal Steel, Jim Gordon on Organ, Leland Sklar on Bass and Russell Kunkel on Drums are all here.  David Crosby also makes shows up on background vocals.  He stands out in "Rock Me On The Water," which he co-wrote with Browne and Graham Nash.  Jackson was 23 when this came out, but he was a teen prodigy for Nico playing with her and writing "These Days" all the way back in 1967.

Not as square as people would have you believe.
