The Naked Ride Home

Amazon.com
One of the most eloquent singer-songwriters of the '70s heyday of the movement, Jackson Browne has always been a master of deciphering what is written on the human heart. On his first outing in six years, Browne again waxes autobiographical, wandering through his extensive interior landscape and transforming his pain into art. But after three decades, his songs of elusive love lost and found have become a little bit wry and world-weary. Witness the bittersweet title song, where the details are so crisp and well drawn that it's difficult to believe that he didn't just lift them from his own life. Similarly, "The Night Inside Me" returns to some of the wrenching themes of 1975's Late for the Sky with fresh anger. But it is Jackson Browne's turbulent romantic history--his elevation of the small, significant details that make up a life, or more poignantly, show one unraveling--that defines his work, and which is in full flower here. --Jaan Uhelszki

An Unmistakeable Sound.......2007-06-18

I bought The Naked Ride Home back when it was first issued and liked it immensely. But since I listen to so much different music, this stood forgotten for years in the CD cabinet until I recently got the urge to put it on and find out if I still like it as much as when I first bought it. The verdict? I do!
Though this is not a five-star effort, there are some very strong songs here which bring it close. When this CD came out, it had been ten years since Jackson Browne's last studio album was released. But on this you'll hear that Browne's talents did not rust in the interim. I think its his best album since Running On Empty and that's high praise.
My favorites here are the title cut, which lyrically and musically shouts Browne's name; The Night Inside of Me, a very appealing and fast paced rocker; the funky Walking Town; Sergio Leone, an epic paean to the famous Italian film-maker; and My Stunning Mystery Companion, a gentle relaxing song evocative of Browne's early days.
With nearly 40 years in the business, Jackson Browne has developed and maintained a sound that is unmistakeably his. And its a sound that never gets stale. After Browne's heyday in the 1970s, he seemd to get lost in politics and in occasional sloppy writing, but each of his albums have always had at least a few good songs to recommend them. With The Naked Ride Home, Browne's decade-long hiatus seems to have done him some good.
If you are an old Jackson Browne fan who drifted away when he was making schlock like Lawyers In Love, then this CD gives you a great excuse to give him another chance.

Pretty good, not the best........2006-11-29

I have been a Jackson Browne fan for about 30 years, I consider him the
John Updike of songwriting. My favorite JB album of the last 20 years was World in Motion, which I think is vastly underrated.
I recently purchased the 'Ride Home' cd, intrigued by the title of the
cd. JB has had so many songs about death that I thought the title was a a reference to death, either borrowed or created by the songwriter.
I was a bit disappointed to listen to the title track and discover that
there was nothing philisophical about the song. I didn't care for the cd upon first listen, however the 2nd time around I found it more interesting. I liked Sergio Leone and Don't You Want to be There,
both are very different from what I expect from JB. The latter could be recorded by a gospel artist, the lyrics are general enough to be open to differing interpretations. Overall, it's a keeper, probably ranking towards the middle of his output.

Ok Comeback.......2006-11-03

It took Browne over 10 years to put out an album of new material following "Looking East" in 1996. "Naked" is a decent enough comeback although not as good as much of his earlier material. The album begins with the title track which to me sounds like he is trying to recapture some of his romantic storytelling of yesteryear, but does not quite pull it off. In fact I feel the same way about much of this album. The material is good, but just not on the same level of similar things he has done previously. There are a few highlights. The politically charged "Casino Nation" finds Browne in fine topical form. "Walking Town" is a duet with Don Henley which is good. "Sergio Leone" is another cool song that meanders for almost 8 minutes before abruptly ending. I have seen other reviews that criticize this song for never really going anywhere and I would tend to agree. The writing style reminds me a lot of Warren Zevon, but although I think the meat of the song is great, it never really concludes which is a determent. This album is ok, but considering it took 12 years to come out, it probably could have been better.

Took a year to realize the genius..............2005-10-04

First, as a 20 year fan of jackson browne, I think that i may be a bit unusual. I love his earlier stuff and own every one of his cd's plus many on vinyl, plus a few extremely hard to come by copies of some of his concerts. I will not argue with anyone about how his early work is sheer genius, but this album needs to get some more credit. Looking east and his other recent albums are very good also, but this one really stands out above them in my mind. The first few times i listened to the album i wasn't overly impressed with it. I instantly liked "night inside me" and "the naked ride home." As for the other songs, it took a few listens to really get into them. With some of the songs you really have to listen to them when you are in a certain mood to truly appreciate them. I have to disagree with one of the reviewers who decided to slam "for taking the trouble." The guitarwork on this song is amazing, and i wasn't surprised to see that it was keb" mo" playing on this track. It really takes a master like that to put that kind of feeling into a song. Anyways, this cd is excellent for a casual fan, dedicated fan, or just someone looking for some good tunes.

I'll keep it short and sweet!.......2005-08-05

I'm no newcomer. I've been listening to Jackson since 'Doctor My Eyes' was first released. Yes, my favorites by him are his love stories, ballads, and acoustic paintings of life. I've also liked his rock 'n roll. For me, this is better than some of his more recent outings, and actually has some new blood to it. Casino Nation and Walking Town, for instance, are some of the most listenable tunes I've heard in a while. Jackson has been a rock 'n roller all along, and these are some of his best to date. He has assembled a band that has allowed him to do what he does best. I think some of the reviewers here don't really know what he's about. This is still it!!!!!!
