For Everyman by Jackson Browne
For Everyman is the second album by American singer/songwriter Jackson Browne, released in 1973. 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.
The brown-eyed, handsome man-child of California's '70s pop-rock scene wrote "These Days" when he was 16, and the rest is era-defining history. Jackson Browne delivers his literate lyrics and memorable melodies with deceptive calm, conveying even the cataclysms of "Before the Deluge" and "Doctor My Eyes" with country-rock cool. Songs like "The Load Out" and "Running On Empty" demystify rock stardom, while "Red Neck Friend" and "I Am a Patriot" do no less for America itself.
