Jackson Browne Releases “Downhill From Everywhere”
Bob Glaub has been doing his job with Jackson Browne for years, and he’s hit the mark again on the songwriter’s new album, Downhill From Everywhere. The bassist’s playing is the perfect support to Browne’s thoughtful lyrics and melodies, providing a foundation with his full tone and great use of register.
The album comes nearly 50 years since Browne’s debut record, but its description states it sustains “the soulful intimacy of his first release, combined with a power and wisdom gained from a life pursuing positive change.”
“There’s a deep current of inclusion running through this record,” Browne adds. “I think that idea of inclusion, of opening yourself up to people who are different than you, that’s the fundamental basis for any kind of understanding in this world.”
