Time the Conqueror

Loved JB’s music in the 70s, still play a lot of it. Saw a couple of his concerts over he years, but missed this album when it came out. Lost my wife suddenly after almost 40 years, but got remarried in 2018. Shortly before proposing, I somehow (divine intervention?) ran across “Just Say Yeah” and so played it as I proposed. She said yes—Thanks Jackson!

jackson browne, just saw him at steel bridge fest in DOOR COUNTY WI, he still sounds so good, thanks jackson! please come again next year!

yep he's still got it ! not the greatest album hes made but it comes close !

I usually struggle to embrace new material by an artist...I can actually be years behind the mainstream in terms of falling in love with new music released. I bought this actual CD at the concert, though, for the same reason I fell in love with Jackson in the first place. The songs have meaning and are simple but profound. And his voice remains, for me, as powerful as it was thirty years ago. The material on Time the Conqueror is political, timeless, and humorous but maybe most importantly he still makes listeners think. I cried when he took the stage that night, and cried again when he took his seat at the piano. I found myself forgetting that I was not hearing the classics I longed to hear and see him play as I listened to him play and feel what he performed...Jackson still gets it done...

I just heard The Arms of Night on Jango - Free Music Station and I feel in love with this song. It is as good as any of his old songs!!!!

My girlfriend and I saw Jackson Browne at the Minnesota State Fair. I have to tell you, he was AWSOME. He played songs from Time the Conqueror album and songs from his past. You have to listen very closely on each song that he sings on what he has to say about our world. Jackson Browne is a great singer and songwriter. I would see him again and again. I downloaded his greatest hits on my sons laptop, and he likes his music very much. I would take him to see Jackson Browne if he came back to Minnesota.

Another solid effort from Jackson Browne. He covers familiar themes and sounds for most part, and I'll admit it feels like a step back from Naked Ride Home to me, it stll is a pretty good effort. It is more political than his last album too, which I think is not as heavy handed as his mid-late 80s material but still a little hit or miss for me. But if you're reading this none of this should surprise you. A fine addition to anyone's Jackson Browne collection.

The first time I listened to “Time The Conqueror” it opened up a chasm inside me that has been filled with sadness for a long time. JB has always been a generous songwriter. With this album he articulates, in his own inimitable style, my own thoughts. Many things he sings about on this thoughtful album address issues near and dear to my heart—the war for profit, our national shame about Katrina, our collective xenophobia, and so on. All that, and beautiful music too! I love Doctor My Eyes, Rock Me On The Water, The Pretender, Running on Empty, Fountain of Sorrow, etc. as much as any diehard JB fan. But the songwriter can grow and change, can’t he? He’s in a different place now—so am I, and so are we all. If we don’t have the courage to truthfully assess ourselves, how can we expect others to take us seriously and follow our lead? JB calls it as he sees it, and I appreciate his honesty.

He's so good when he writes introspective observations about life and the relationships around him. He's been pissed off poltiically since Reagan...probably had a hard time justifying the Clinton years (he's so purist...having a womanizer like Bubba in office I'm sure created internal conflict for him), and just became more angry with 'W' running the show. His idealism can be appreciated but it weighs so lightly against the pragmatic ways of the current world that he almost renders himself irrelevant as a 'protest' singer-songwiter. Jackson should go back to the mindful meanderings behind Fountain of Sorrow, Jamaica Say You Will, The Pretender, and write from that genre point...give up on writing about the madness of the world...it ain't gonna change.

Jackson never dissapoints. Saw him in Seattle after this album was released and enjoyed the concert so much I plan to see him in London, Las Vegas, and LA (and maybe a few more shows...) Not sure how much longer he will be performing and I can't get enough of Jackson. Off of Wonderland is great and Just say Yeah is even better.
