For Everyman by Jackson Browne
For Everyman is an album by Jackson Browne, released in 1973. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “These Days”, on 8 lists with a best position of #146.
For Everyman, Jackson Browne's second album, came out on Asylum in 1973 with Browne producing himself, and it's the sound of a Los Angeles songsmith who got his start writing for other people stepping further into his own spotlight. It's a warm, unhurried record, built around a voice that always sounds like it's thinking out loud.
"These Days" and "Take It Easy" sit here alongside the title song, all three still turning up on the countdowns decades later, while "Redneck Friend" went out as the single. It didn't set the charts alight at the time, but it has aged well: in 2012 it landed on a list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
