There is no better Jackson Browne album and perhaps no better album) than 'Late For The Sky'. It combines beautiful music with superb and heartwrenching poetry. It evokes a time in my life that was both hopeful and challenging. Each song is special in its own way. I enjoy this album as much today as I did when I bought it in college many years ago. My favorite songs are 'Late For The Sky', 'Before The Deluge', 'The Late Show', and the most beautiful and haunting song I have ever heard, 'Fountain Of Sorrow'. If you've never listened to Jackson Browne start with this one. If you're a fan try it again.
