Jackson Browne - P. F. Sloan - Live, Florida ,6- 23- 90

[marmas58ink]

When was this bootleg done? - Seems the intro last longer then the song!

Imagine Jackson B on a 70s-cocaine buzz.. that he would prob talk your head off! -One of my all-time favorite songmakers (just so you know I'm not really complaining). There's prob about half a dozen artists that are an endless fascination to me. He's one.

I was there when Jackson met Sloan at the 20th anniversary Earth Day celebration in Santa Barbara in 1990. Jackson's mouth dropped open and he went "oh wow".

Also covered by Larry Coryell when he was still a rocker (late 70s) , and Cassell Webb (late 80's). Two woefully unrecognized singer-songwriters. A brilliant song, but can't say much that Browne does much in service of this tune, at least in this rendition.

There is now another version of this, by Jackson and Jimmy Webb on Jimmy's new CD Just Across The River - great duets by Jimmy and various great artists

I love it! I've always been familiar with the version by The Association since circa 1970, Jackson Browne is no less talented with his rendition!

I recorded Jimmy Webb's PF Sloan off the radio in May of 1972, and it instantly became one of my all-time favorite songs. Shoulda been a huge hit, but....oh well.

He also wrote Secret Agent Man. There's a clip of him playing it on YouTube- on acoustic. Great guitar riff- presumably played by Johnny Rivers on the hit Johnny had.

This is an awesome song! Jackson makes every song better, but I might check out the original too. Thanks for the post!

The original was on Jimmy Webb's 1st "official" album in '71 or so. The album was "Words and Music". Good luck trying to find it. I found the actual record a few years ago, thank goodness. I had the record when it first came out and wore it out. Webb also put it on a later album in '76 or '77. It was a slower, more countrified version. His original will always be the best. His voice was very raw. JB does a good job with this but Webb warned... DON'T SING THIS SONG! IT BELONGS TO P.F. SLOAN!!
