“For Everyman” by Jackson Browne

"For Everyman" is the title song of Jackson Browne's second album, released in 1973, and it was born on the water. After his first record, Browne left Los Angeles for the Bay Area and ended up living for months on David Crosby's boat, the Mayan, while Crosby and a couple of boat-owning neighbors dreamed out loud about sailing off to start over somewhere far away. Browne, who later owned up that the whole crew had their heads in a fog, wrote this as his reply to a fantasy he saw as out of reach.

Fittingly, Crosby sings backing vocals. Browne plays acoustic guitar alongside David Lindley, who also adds electric, with Craig Doerge on piano, Michael Utley on organ, Leland Sklar on bass and Russ Kunkel on drums.
