Let's play name that tune, by lyrics!!

[mcad64]

^^^ The Eagles. The second tune is 'Take it Easy'.

Can I give you a half correct??? Or a correctish?? Ah, what the heck, Babs for the win!!!!! But there is a commonality to the three tunes!!

They are all Jackson Brown

Sort of... First is Jackson Browne alone. Late for the Sky. Second is Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey. Take it Easy. Eagles had the more famous version. The third is actually Warren Zevon but Jackson Browne cowrote it. Tenderness on the Block.

 

[Srvy]

Yeah I always saw Glenn Frey as a co-writer on that song. Just its sounds like every Browne song I ever heard. And very little like Frey's always whiny lyrics. Sometimes I associate these co-writer with there pulling on a bottle and toking on a jib and getting some credit.
Like Wild Horses- Rolling Stones get the credit but no way that song wasn't Gram Parsons throwing his good friend a bone.
and I am wildly speculating here if someone gets there balls in an uproar.

I had no idea Jackson Browne was involved in writing Take It Easy... :shock:

Well we got the standin on the corner of Winslow Az. I assume the reflection in the window is the flatbed Ford with the Babe. And up above on the sill is an Eagle. Any more

Twist and turn your head around 'til everything's unclear....
Twist and turn your arm around until it is not there...

(prompted by CNN's series "The Sixties"... (hint)).

 

[Srvy]

I can light up your smokes
I can laugh at your jokes
I can watch you fall down on your knees
I can close down this bar
I can gas up my car
I can pack up and mail in my key

A late maybe greatest voice of country music made this song a hit. But the writer has already been mentioned in this thread several times. (hint)

 

[Srvy]

"I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet..."

Was a hit by one of the loveliest voices in music and also easy on the eyes. But was written by a guy who got his start playing guitar for Mother of Invention who later had a very successful band.

 

[Srvy]

"Someone is talking to me,
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love"

This song ended an Academy Award winning movie.

This one I know, but I can't place it. I give up.

Another favorite of mine:

You know I'd go back there tomorrow, but for the work I've taken on,
Stokin' the star-maker machinery, behind the Popular Song

 

[Zing]

Some wiggle when you walk
Gets you some cheap talk
From those who have sought
To have their hearts outlined in chalk

Bartender Blues-James Taylor

George Jones version was a fav of mine in the juke box.

Willin - Lowell George


Linda Ronstadt did a beautiful cover. Shame Parkinsons has robbed us of hearing this wonderful voice again.

I was thinkin' it was George Jones, but I had to EweTube it to finally match the melody to the lyrics; thanks!

I KNOW it's Joni but for the life of me I can't come up with the title :angry-banghead: Can I get half a point?

 

[mcad64]

Carrying your ashes from bar to bar
I'm in a mess and you're in a mason jar
With you under my arm like a football
I'm not ready to let go and that is all

Answer: The Last Drink----Odds

 

[mcad64]

So I know you're going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And strangers break their promises
You won't feel any
You won't feel any pain

Answer: Dead of Winter---Eels

You get a full point if you can also solve my first challenge on Page 1
The above is from Joni's Free Man in Paris, from the album Court and Spark.
