Looser, warmer and more live-sounding than Browne's recent work -- yet still as passionately crafted and sung.

Welcome home, Jackson, it's been awhile since we've heard anything from you..This album is quite a change from your others, yet strangely familiar and comforting at the same time..Your composition and collaboration with Marc Cohn was truly great..Brings to mind another great American singer/songwriter Mr. Springsteen in it's simplicity and pared down arrangement..Indeed, Jackson, welcome home, back to the fans who know and love your work and have for many years.

This will never become a real Jackson album in my ears.Im really sad to say(for the first time)that his new album is bad. No real good songs(except "The night inside me" and maybe the titlesong,just laidback jams around a chord or two.And the song are faaaaar to long ,6-7 minutes songs that should have been 3-4,no more. I´ve been a Jackson fan since -78,I got all his records and I really like then all. Throw away the whole band.Let them play this kind of music behind Sting or something Where is D.Lindley? Or at least Scott Thurston

The Naked Ride Home is teasingly close to the Browne that has attracted his listener's for 30 years. Clearly his foray into political admonishment of American society in his Lives in the Balance and World in Motion albums were as disconnected to his loyal fans as he has ever been, The Naked Ride home gives those same fans a lift closer to the man that performed and wrote Foreveryman, Late For the Sky and the Pretender, all lyrical masterpieces. I think Jackson is no longer running from what made him famous and has grown comfortable with his place in life. Rank: 1. The Naked Ride Home 2. Don't you want to be there? 3. For taking the trouble 4. About my imagination 5. My stunning Mystery Companion 6. The night inside me 7. Walking town 8. Sergio Leone 9. Casino Nation

Born too late to be able to boast that I've been a fan since the 70's. Just discovered his music recently but am very touched and love it a lot! Definitely 21st century Jackson. The artist is timeless.

Jackson Browne remains one of the '70s' best and most lauded singer-songwriters, but he continues to impress several decades on with The Naked Ride Home, his 13th album and his first in six years. The disc finds Browne backed by his longtime band but making room for special guests Keb' Mo' a reggae-tinged "For Taking the Trouble" and Marc Cohn the gospel-touched "Don't You Want to Be There". Introspection serves as the anchor for most of these songs, whether the subject is keeping a relationship going, as in the Counting Crows-flavored "About My Imagination," or the breathless nature of a first encounter chronicled on the confessional title track. While it's not as...
