この作品の白ラベル・プロモは3枚見たことがありますが、全部的が同じでした。

ジャケはルネ・マグリットの1953-54年の代表作「光の帝国(L'Empire des Lumieres;Empire of Light)」にインスパイアされたもの(カヴァーには"cover concept Jackson Browne if it's all reet with Magritte"と記載されています)。この素晴らしいジャケは、ジャクソン・ブラウンのお気に入りだったとのことです。わざとらしい、奇を衒ったデペイズマンとは一線を画す出来栄えだと感じましたが、いかがでしょうか?

"The Road And The Sky"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN2BLHqkgSc
ちょっと元気な曲ですが、不思議とこの静かなアルバムの雰囲気から浮いていません。

When we come to place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was going to have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide

Well I spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well
And I can hear my dreams singing clear as a bell
I used to know where they ended and the world began
But now it's getting hard to tell
I could be just around the corner from Heaven or a mile from Hell

I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind a wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
I'm going to get a little higher
And see if I can hot-wire reality

Now can you see those dark clouds gathering up ahead?
They're going to wash this planet clean like the Bible said
Now you can hold on steady and try to be ready
But everybody's gonna get wet
Don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet

I'm just rolling away from yesterday
Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
I'm going to get a little higher
And see if I can hot-wire reality
