It's the 45th Anniversary of the release of Jackson Brown's classic "Late for the Sky" album, an album with no hit singles, but surely one of his best albums of all time. The lyrics and vocal performance alone are worthy of "hit" status.
Of course it was issued in quad on CD-4 LP and Quad 8 Tape, but sadly never released on quad reel. (What was up with that, Asylum Folks?)
Anyway, it sure would be nice to have seen a 45th Anniversary BluRay audio release with the remastered quad mix on there. I mean, how much work would that be for a record label to crank out? Jackson has always seemed to be surround friendly, and has a surround grammy for his DVD-A of "Running on Empty".
Talk about powerful lyrics, this passage has always been one of my favorites.
Now this is how you should write lyrics:
Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true
You were turning 'round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
Was she sad to see that it was him behind her and not someone else, or was she just sad?
