Co-written with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Jackson at one point lived in a small duplex underneath Glenn and his then-roomate, J.D. Souther. Glenn heard him composing Take It Easy on the piano as he laid in bed upstairs. Browne was frustrated with the song and was going to give up on it, but Glenn thought it deserved another chance. He filled in Browne's lyrical gap with the line "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me" and recorded it with the Eagles - and the rest is history.

This band starts off a little slow, then it is true rock and roll. Spent a lot of time with 10th, 11th and 12th Marines in the field.

Some bands, Like Foreigner and the Babys, had good tunes. Sometimes when the "star" left the band, their solo stuff was better than when they were with the group.Certainly as good. Here's Lou Gramm after he left Foreigner.. Tomorrow I'll do John Waite from the Baby's.

Jeff, I kinda know where you're coming from.
I knew of the Dead from the Haight Ashbury days.
About 1970, after hearing Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, I found out what an accomplished studio musician Jerry was. A multi-instrumentalist, who played guitar, banjo, and pedal steel, a lot of us heard his work without knowing it..."Teach Your Children" pedal steel opening and backing is one everybody knows.
Once the whole traveling hippie C/F show thing started, I had no interest in seeing them live.
What I did was buy the greatest hits CD and then left in only the acoustic and more mellow stuff, and then burned a CD to listen to in my RV. Try them that way.

This is what I had left, only re-arranged for better flow, IMO

Originally released on the 1987 album In the Dark
"Sugar Magnolia" (Hunter, Weir) – 3:19

"Estimated Prophet" (John Perry Barlow, Weir) – 5:38
Originally released on the 1977 album Terrapin Station
"Eyes of the World" (Garcia, Hunter) – 5:20
Originally released on the 1973 album Wake of the Flood
"Box of Rain" (Hunter, Lesh) – 5:20

Two for Tuesday. Thinks I will do (as promised) a couple from the Babys John Waite. First one from the Babys . This album was another played to death at our little house. We had one female friend that every time the party showed up, which was every Friday and Saturday nights after the bars closed down, she would shout at the top of her lungs while walking in the door " I WANNA HEAR THE BABYS! ".



Second one if from one of John Waites second band, Bad English. Notice he has Journeys lead guitar player after he split from Journey..

Someone posted Nick Lowe a while back. There just might be a few Dave Edmunds / / Rockpile fans out there too.
I couldn't decide but narrowed this down to only a two-fer. This one has the rockpile lineup and shows Nick The Knife on bass.



Written by Elvis Costello


Written by John Fogerty but I like this version best:
