Notes
A songwriting prodigy since his teens, Jackson Browne had already reached a zenith in confessional writing with 1974's Late for the Sky, a song cycle of his guitar and piano based anthems, reveries, and rockers, distilling themes of disillusionment, apocalypse, friendship, and fragile romances. Teaming with Bruce Springsteen's producer, Jon Landau, Browne himself clearly sought to up the ante with more epic settings, while Landau worked on pumping up the star's vocal attack. But personal tragedy, in the suicide of his partner and mother of his young son, cast an unplanned shadow across these songs, giving the Pretender a darker, heartbroken edge and an authentic, scarred toughness. Fatherhood, mortality, and resignation inform brilliant songs like "Your Bright Baby Blues" (featuring Lowell George's plangent slide guitar and vocal counterpoint), "Here Come Those Tears Again" (with Bonnie Raitt), and the prayerful, desolate "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate," but it's the title tune that remains the haunting highlight.

  • A Landmark Jackson Browne Album

    Who are you, when you wake up one day and realize that you are thinking more pragmatically than idealistically? The 28 y.o. Jackson Browne recorded "The Pretender" at that point in his life and gave us this brilliant album. There are still elements of introspection, lust and loneliness, that Jackson Browne is noted for writing about, but there's more going on here. Songs, like "The Fuse", and Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate" are Browne's perspective of Life's journey. "Daddy's Tune" is his wonderful reflection of the generational gap between him and his father."The only Child" is a sweet poem to his young son, trying to pass on his best words of wisdom. This song is thematically, similar to Bob Dylan's "Forever ...

  • Clarity, Beauty, and Truth Wrapped up in The Pretender

    This is his most brilliant work. He writes lyrics about everyman better than Springsteen or Mellencamp. I am amazed at the brilliance of this work. He is at the top of his game. Like so many artists, he may have done his best work early in his life. I marvel that a young man in his twenties would have this insight and such a beautiful way of expressing what most of us have often felt. The title cut, The Pretender, is nothing short of genius. Anyone that loves poetry coupled with good music should not miss this one. Jackson Brown is in a category of his very own.

  • 1970s music

    One song on thisa album has been haunting me for almost 30 years. I couldn't remember the title, or the specific album. I finally found it here on "The Pretender"., what a relief! GOOD MUSIC!
