The fine Music Tap website had exciting news about this album getting some sort of "updated" treatment, and with Jackson's own label involved does this mean Deluxe Editions or remasters of any kind for his wonderful catalogue may be coming?

Or at least, just this one?

Sure, after I finally broke down and coughed up big bucks for the DCC version.

I'll buy this if there's a show from the period attached. Otherwise, I'm content with my copy.

having been a big jackson browne fan for quite a long time, i can say with pretty much conviction that there are not a lot unreleased songs that i am aware of.

there is the first recordings thing has been floating around the grey market for years, but as for anything since "saturate" (i know it's not the real name" i don't know of very much.

there are, however, tons of released songs that were on other albums: comps, soundtracks, samplers, etc. but i doubt he would add those to his own albums as extras.

I lost interest in Jackson Browne around the time of the Daryl Hannah breakup. I haven't been tempted by anything since. I would love to see a comp of the odds and ends as Renny pointed out though.

walter,

try "the night ride home"

renny

Renny, I think you mean "The Naked Ride Home." I'd also suggest Looking East, I'm Alive, and Time the Conqueror, if you can look past the Daryl Hannah abuse allegations.

Joni Mitchell has an album called "Night Ride Home."

I'll be eagerly awaiting my hand-me-down copy of your CD when you get this, show or not.

Why mess with a perfectly good tradition, right?

Ironically, on Turbulent Indigo, the follow-up to Night Ride Home, the song "Not To Blame" was rumored to be about the Daryl Hannah abuse allegations. Mitchell was asked about this in an interview in 1994:

Q: There has been speculation that "Not to Blame" was inspired by specific incidents, possibly the O.J. Simpson case or the allegations about Jackson Browne and Daryl Hannah. Any comment?

A: Let's not go gossipy on any of these songs. . . . I should have put a disclaimer. . . "Any resemblance to any people living or dead is merely coincidental." This is a song about batterers of women. It's dumb to reduce the song to a portrait of an individual.

Anyway, back to topic...

I find it odd that the release date is on a Saturday.

I have the DCC. IMO, this is his best album. I think I'd like to wait for a hi-res version. WARNING all the original JB WB CD remasters (#1- Hold on) are horribly compressed & Loud. They don't say remastered. The only way to tell is to listen & compare to another copy.

Lots of soundboards & one called "Demos" which may be the one you're mentioning.

correct. sorry about that walter.

i'm alive' is jackson browne baring his soul about his relationship with hannah, it is very sad at times, but includes what just might be his best song ever in "sky blue and black".

browne has stated on more than occasion that his relationship and the abuse allegations are simply not true. he also said he will never discuss it publicly other than to say that.

I went to a very expensive small liberal arts institution as a scholarship student and met (and occasionally became friends with) many children from super rich families. One of the kids there was from a family who was good friends with Jackson Browne and Daryl Hannah he talked often about how the abuse a allegations were false. He liked Hannah and Browne both but thought of Hannah as being a little nuts. He also said she was a drug addict.

Take the specifics of that with a grain of salt but my point is this: because these are public lives there are MANY stories told about them, often contradictory. Until Jackson Browne is actually convicted of something I prefer to not dwell on it as fact. Same with Woody Allen.

If I were accused of something in my private life I would want my friends to give me the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. It just seems like the right to do, both with friends and with public figures too.

It's easy to cast aspersions when someone is accused of things like that, but what usually gets overlooked is the damage that unproven accusations can cause, and how they can be used as a weapon. We owe it to other human beings not to make judgements unless we have proof. I don't personally know Daryl Hannah or Jackson Browne, and I certainly don't know what happened between them, so I have no right to make any judgements.

This isn't really the forum for this particular discussion, but the Daryl Hannah incident is covered in Shelia Water's Girls Like Us, pgs. 411-12. To quote the statement from the Santa Monica Police Department "There was never any assault". I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the careers of Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon. If nothing else it caused me to totally reverse my opinions about Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon. I went into it thinking Carly was this neurotic head case, only to find out that I had it wrong...Carly is the survivor, while Joni is....eh, something else. And Carole King really is the Earth Mother, who' unfortunately seems to not have been as lucky in love as she deserved.

I will look for the book, thanks!

Hard to imagine a new remaster would sound any better than the DCC, which is often mentioned in discussions of the best-sounding DCC discs.
