Add your review here. Odd omissions but still useful Review written by John Fitzgerald, March 31st, 2005 Few would be able to agree on a definitive Browne compilation tracklisting but this set does fairly well considering such essential album cuts (like "Rosie" from "Running on empty"), forgotten hits (such as the "Lawyers in love" title track, "That girl could sing" & "Boulevard" from "Hold out") and should've been hits (like "I'll do anything" & "Everywhere I go" from "I'm alive", not to mention that album's title track) have been omitted as some decent enough tracks do take their places instead (such as the slightly Celtic sounding quiet violin & piano drenched shaker "The rebel Jesus" (which is one of the two new tracks made for this compilation, the better of the two), the haunting (though perhaps admittedly a little overlong) "Sky blue & black" from "I'm alive" and the overlooked modern day Jackson track. the chiming pulse of "The barricades of heaven" from the "Looking east" album). There are some tracks that, while good, make you wonder why they were chosen instead of the more obvious choices (such as the pleasant quietly mid tempo "Call it a loan" from "Hold out", the acoustic led slow ballad "These days" (which does have country leanings with it's slidy guitars) from "For everyman", the typical mid tempo JB track "Fountain of sorrow" (which admittedly doesn't seem as long once known) from the "Late for the sky" album, the other new song (which effectively is the title track of this compilation, "The next voice you hear" which is a dance throwaway with ugly horns that they obviously thought would help but they actually hurt this track) and the title tracks from both "The pretender" (which is a piano heavy up-ish track that grows on you) and "Lives in the balance" (which is a dramatic puncher that gets better with more listens). However, there are the undeniable tracks like the classic California rock of the title track to Browne's "Running on empty" album, the fast bouncy hit "Doctor my eyes" from Jackson's first solo album, the heartfelt mid pace organ drone and lilting light electric guitar fills of the title track for the "Late for the sky" album and the three tracks included here with Rick Vito which are the well known single "Tender is the night" (which is a good track, but you'd need to get the "Lawyers in love" album to get all of Rick's great guitar playing on that album for your collection anyways so I won't go in to that track anymore here), the smooth emotional "In the shape of a heart" which is by far the best track on the "Lives in the balance" album (and the only one from that album that Rick plays on so it saves you from getting that platter) including great echoy guitar solos from Vito and Browne's biggest hit to date, the peppy "Somebody's baby" which here is more essential than it was on the "Fast times at Ridgemont high" soundtrack album as it's roughly 20 seconds longer here (towards the end of the song here you will hear an extra chorus go through which does admittedly become too much). It's still good to know though that you can get the full version of the song here along with "In the shape of a heart" saving you from getting "Lives in the balance" as these are the main points of interest for us here as well as having a few of Browne's classics tucked in there too making this worthwhile in the end.
