Short story:
Jackson Browne secures his first Billboard Top 40 album entry in the USA with his third LP, Late For The Sky, which will peak at No14 during a twelve-week run.Full article:
Bruce Springsteen : In seventies, post-Vietnam America, there was no album that captured the fall from Eden, the long, slow after-burn of the sixties; its heartbreak, its disappointments, its spent possibilities better than Jackson's masterpiece, Late For the Sky. It's just a beautiful body of work. It's essential in making sense of the times. Before The Deluge still gives me goosebumps and it raises me to cause. Late For the Sky, when those car doors slam at the end of the record, they still bring tears. And there was no more searching, yearning, loving music made for and about America at the time.
