Today’s post (#23 of 31) covers Jackson Browne’s “Sky Blue & Black. I am joined by my son, Eian O’Brien, on guitar, vocals and harmonica. This song so moves me, it might be my favorite Jackson Browne song of all time. The lyrics are exquisite and tell a heart wrenching story on so many levels. It was written for piano but we thought we would try it on guitar(s). One afternoon we got together and came up with this arrangement which I love! 

A note from Eian: This. Song. Slaps.

Eian O’Brien is an actor and filmmaker in Los Angeles. He wrote, directed, and produced the musical short film, Bird’s Blue Pantoum, which can be viewed on YouTube.

Location note: My home office/Music room. 

Happy holidays!  Please enjoy and share!
