''For Everyman'' is the second album by American singer/songwriter Jackson Browne, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). The album peaked at number 43 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and the single "Redneck Friend" reached number 85 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. In 2003, the album was ranked number 457 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. ==History== ''For Everyman'' marks the debut of multi-instrumentalist David Lindley's long association with Browne. Guest artists included David Crosby (harmony on the title track), Glenn Frey (harmony on "Redneck Friend"), Elton John (credited as Rockaday Johnnie, piano on "Redneck Friend"), Don Henley (harmony on "Colors of the Sun"), Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt. The title track was written by Browne in response to the apocalyptic "Wooden Ships", a song written by Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner. His own version of "These Days" appears here after having been previously recorded by Nico, Tom Rush, who also covered "Colors of the Sun", and Gregg Allman. Nico was the first to record the song in 1967.〔 Browne later commented "When () did it I thought that he really unlocked a power in that song that I sort of then emulated in my version. I started playing the piano. I wasn't trying to sing it like Gregg; I couldn't possibly. I took the cue, playin' this slow walk. But it was written very sort of, kind of a little more flatpicking."〔(Interview with Jackson Browne ), KGSR radio Austin, October 10, 2002. Accessed May 26, 2007.〕 "Take It Easy" was written by Browne and Frey and became the Eagles' first single, released on May 1, 1972. ''For Everyman'' was certified as a Gold record in 1975 and Platinum in 1989 by the RIAA.〔(RIAA Gold and Platinum award. ) Retrieved July 20, 2010〕 The cover is a depiction of Browne's childhood Highland Park, California home, "The Abbey San Encino". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「For Everyman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
