Jackson Browne & Stevie??? Any connection?

I think he still is incredibly handsome and thats odd for a man in his late 60ties(?) and to be honest ...anyone who would date Daryl would not likely be interested in a Stevie Nicks. i thought i had heard that he had had several run-ins with the law during the breakup and I believe (rumor control ) that his good looking son has carried on like his dad when it comes to bad breakups...
Either way...Jackson writes so beautifully that I wish he wasnt so insular and gave us more of a clue who he actually is...

I agree with all of this. I know nothing about his personal life, but hopefully he's come out of that darkness- for his own sake. Still, he is an incredible songwriter and I prefer him to the Eagles or a lot of other 1970's singer/songwriters (he's sort of on par with Joni for me). I agree he is still handsome, as my co-worker saw and met him last fall and said he was really handsome and nice in person.

Anyway, I now can imagine Stevie singing "Jamaica Say You Will." She could sing a lot of his songs well, I think. It would be amazing to see some kind of collaboration between them. They're the same age as well!!

Stevie singing Jackson Browne songs would, indeed, by amazing! She could really bring a powereful new perspective to them. His writing style completely suits her.

At the very end of Moonlight the falsetto part ( aahhh) sounds like its copied from Jackson Brownes falsetto ( ahhhh) from his song Somebodys Baby. First time I heard Moonlight I noticed the similarity.

When I first heard the song 'Bella Donna'..on the part that starts out 'and the lady's feeling.." I immediately thought Jackson Browne.

Cool! Right after I read your response, it came on my ipod shuffle. LOL!

The only song I know by him and recently re-discovered it from the 80's. Great jam, I love this song!! What does this have to do with Stevie you ask..absolutely nothing!!

I just posted in the what are you listening to thread about Jackson Browne, but I was wondering since I'm a very new fan, what is considered to be his best album? I just bought the very best of and I am falling so in love with his music so I can't wait to dig deeper

I have all of them and I love "I'm Alive"....songs like "too many angels", the title track and "my problem is you", are all great ...but the song Sky Black & Blue is a piece of art...I can close my eyes and hear Stevie singing it...just like I can hear Stevie singing Sheryl Crow's The Difficult Kind

[Fiver]

Late for the Sky I think is generally the most-loved. It's my favorite, along with his self titled debut. Really though, he had an amazing run with the first five albums, I'd recommend em all.

I never thought of it, but I think they would sound amazing together. Jackson is sort of a kinder, softer Lindsey. Just thinking of her voice singing his songs....a revelation.

I have this image that Jackson and Lindsey have the same temperment...isolated, a tad moody and (sorry) spoiled....It seems like a natural fit for Stevie she likes those traits in her men

Here are some lyrics of some Stevie songs that match well with some of Jacksons songs.

When I see you again/ as she stares at the stairs, there are many things to stare at these days.
Jackson Browne song/ These Days

Storms/ I did not deal with the road
Jackson Browne song/The Road

Angel/ no great pretender
Jackson Browne song/ The Pretender

Sara/ say amen ( very end of the song)
Jackson Browne song The Pretender/ and in the morning light you'll get up and do it again.....amen

Dreams/ thunder only happens when it's rainning
Jackson Browne song/ You Love The Thunder

This should be in the misunderstood lyrics thread.
