      Jackson Browne has always bored the crap out of me. And this song certainly is no exception. Perhaps it should have been called "Doctor Vinnie Boombatz" or "Doctor Dees Nuts" ... that might have made it a little more entertaining and enjoyable.

      I kept waiting for A&A to do their patented lyric check, because this is one song where the lyrics matter. I've always found this to be some of the best pop lyrics of its time. And the lyrics mean just as much to me today as an older man as they did to me when I was younger. I kept waiting for them to dive into those words.... Alas.

      @@jaycorby I love this. I bought it originally because I was doing a play and this was the The Late Show was used as outro music for my character. I bought the vinyl and for a year only listened to The Late Show feeling every lyric like it was written for me. Then one night I let the album play from the beginning and the lyrical content dug itself all the way through me. This was the mid 80's and though Browne had plenty of hits, none of his music held me as rapt as this album; especially side one. Fountain of Sorrow is my fave on the LP and one of the best songs ever written.

However, on “Doctor My Eyes” the lead guitar is credited to Jesse Ed Davis. The album that DME came from, Jackson’s debut, also featured Clarence White and Albert Lee on guitars, but no David Lindsey.

    Though Browne’s first Big “Hit” and probably his best known composition, Doctor My Eyes is, in many respects, atypical of his work. It is a short offering and in some respects lacks the deeply introspective lyrics that he is known for, although sparks of introspection do shine through. That being said, he had a bevy of great musicians who worked with him throughout his career (so far). There is NO bad album ever produced by Jackson Browne. Consistent great musicianship coupled with utterly superb lyrics makes him one of the greats of the past nearly fifty years. In a time known for its songwriters and lyricists (70s) he was the cream at the top, rivaled only by artists such as Don Mclean. Alex has mentioned several times that he is strongly drawn towards the lyrics of a song. That being true, then you hit the mother load with Jackson Browne. Listen to all the songs on this album, the album following it (For EveryMan), and especially Late For Sky (Superb, and my favorite of his albums), and then the Pretender, which was huge, Running on Empty, Hold Out, and then, a lyricists wet dream “I’m Alive,” (1993),“Too Many Angels” being a prime example. His first seven albums all went Platinum (The Pretender 3X Platinum, Running on Empty 7X) and Hold Out and I’m Alive both going Gold. If you spend the time listening to these albums and reading and intently listening to the lyrics you will be greatly rewarded and your understanding of music and societal attitudes originating from the early 70s will be infinitely enhanced. You guys have been on a great journey into the music of the past half-century, which is fun to watch. Enjoy input from both of you. BTW Alex, Love the jacket :)
