Browne, Jackson - The Pretender

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ASYLUM 1977

Asylum 6E-107 made in USA with lyric inner sleeve

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

On The Pretender, Jackson Browne took a step back from the precipice so well defined on his first three albums, but doing so didn't seem to make him feel any better. Employing a real producer, Jon Landau, for the first time, Browne made what sounded like a real contemporary rock record, but this made his songs less effective; the ersatz Mexican arrangement of "Linda Paloma" and the bouncy second half of "Daddy's Tune," with its horn charts and guitar solo, undercut the lyrics.
