As far as I'm concerned, Jackson Browne is one of the best singer/song writers of the 1970's. Check out - "The Late Show", "For a Dancer", "Your Bright Baby Blues", "The Only Child", "Love Needs a Heart", "Looking into you", "From Silver Lake', & "Something Fine". All good songs. You guys are cool, I enjoy your channel.
With so many absolutely incredible singer/song writers in the 70s (Don McClean, James Taylor, Carol King and on and on), Jackson Browne is THE best Lyricists of the period.
From your picks I can tell you are a real JB fan. Jackson was a comforting symbiotic friend during “those days” of my youth. no pun intended ( those days)🎶
Jesse Ed Davis rips it on guitar! Legend is that he just came into the studio and busted out that solo on the first pass, not written in advance or planed. Amazing!
So many greats by this man, The Pretender being my favorite, Running on empty, take it easy(a hit for the eagles) On the Boulevard and the comments will give you many more. One of the greatest singer/song writers ever, bar none. Check out more, you won't be disappointed. Rock on y'all.
Jackson Browne started his career writing songs for other artists such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (he was briefly a member in 1966) & the Eagles (Browne co-wrote "Take It Easy"). But in the 70's he started recording his own songs. He had a lot of hits 70's-80's such as "Rock Me On The Water", "Here Come Those Tears Again", "The Pretender", "Running On Empty", "Somebody's Baby", "Tender Is The Night" etc.
Take it easy was JB’s song. It was unfinished and Glenn Frey kept bugging him to finish it so the Eagles could record it. Finally JB said Glenn could amd Glenn added a very few lines.
Thanks for throwing this one out there.. This song haunted me for years thinking of a high school girlfriend of mine who was so much like the girl in this song. She was a friend to me when I needed one.. but now she’s my wife and the love of my life. And yes, that girl does SING..
@@laudanum669 So sorry to hear this, as I know how it can be having said the same for many years. I thought I had lost her, but also concluded that if she had changed into quite a different person that I had known, then I was at peace with the universe driving us in different directions. We had both went on to have marriages that ended in divorce, and I had arrived at a place that for the first time I felt ok on my own and wasn’t too concerned with investing in another relationship when it all came together for us. I think that my indifference towards cohabitation added a great deal of patience and prudence to my overall outlook. It was effortless for me to take a “go with the flow” relaxed attitude towards any dating by then. I hope that you find a positive and enriching environment where you can have balance and truly thrive.
"Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?" I really like how the guitar solo resembles tears falling, fits and starts at first, building towards a wail. The bass line really grooves in the chorus too. David Crosby and Graham Nash sang the backup vocals and Jesse Ed Davis played lead guitar. Browne wrote the song in 1971. The years he sings about could well be the late 1960's filled with wars, riots, and assassinations, take your pick. Jackson Browne is also well known for writting the Eagle's classic "Take It Easy" together with Glenn Fry. When you're ready for more from him, check out "Running On Empty", "Fountain of Sorrow", and "Late For The Sky" among many others.
Can’t miss songs by Jackson Brown: Somebody’s Baby Running on Empty Tender is the night The Load-out You both might be the most entertaining couples on the tubes. One of my regular stops when i need a lift. Cheers
On CNN's History of The Eagles, Glen Frye talks about living downstairs from Jackson Browne when he was writing this song and how he'd do the opening phrases on his piano over and over and over, then he'd write some more and then play up to that point over and over and at that moment, Frye realized what it takes to write songs - persistence, elbow grease, hard work.
"Colors of the Sun", "For Everyman", "Late For The Sky", "For a Dancer", "The Late Show", "Your Bright Baby Blues", "The Only Child", "My Opening Farewell", "Looking Into You", "From Silver Lake', "Something Fine", "I Am a Child", "These Days", "Lawyers in Love". Genius songs. There are many more. He is one of the true musical poets. His body of work will endure through the generations.
This instrumentation on this song is incredible. The bass line is especially fine. It was played by the legendary bassist Leland "Lee" Sklar, who has his own great TH-cam channel.
I've got a pic of my son with Jackson in Jamaica a few years back, he was the guitar tech for Little Feat and Jackson played their annual Ramble On the Island fest. Cool dude. 🤘✌️
"These Days" is one of my favorites from Jackson Browne, though his song catalog is very deep! Lots of songs worth checking out. A great singer/songwriter of the 70s & 80s
Jackson is known for deep lyrics and good music, particularly because he works with some of the best studio musicians of his day. These Days is a good song, so is Pretender. Pretender and Doctor My Eyes were played a lot on radio back in 70s. Running on Empty was also played a lot on radio.
What a great song. Deep lyrics by Jackson and some great playing, the greatest of which is the absolutely perfect guitar solo by the always-tasteful and soulful Jesse Ed Davis.
That's Jesse Ed Davis guitar solo. Native American. Jackson initially wanted him to play on another song. Jesse said Nah until he heard Doctor My Eyes and said now this song i can do something with!!!
Jackson Browne is a musician’s musician. And, that well is deep! He is one of the best singer songwriters of the 70’s and 80’s. He also, co-wrote Take It Easy with Glenn Frey which got the Eagles off the ground.
He STILL sounds fiiiiiiiiine. . .fifty freaking years later. . .and he's touring! (I still have the original album from '72.) One of the greatest singer/songwriters. Period.
I love this song and cannot count how many times I played this whole album over and over again. Definitely check out Rock Me On the Water and Something Fine from the same debut album. Jesse Ed Davis plays that fantastic guitar solo in Doctor, My Eyes.
One of the best singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. A giant! The Pretender, Walking Slow, Lives In The Balance, Lawless Avenues, the Road and the Sky, For A Dancer...and dozens and dozens more. A GIANT!
In November 1978 I left college in the Midwest and drove out to LA. I remember going in one day from OKC to Phoenix (about 1000 miles) repeatedly playing the “Running on Empty” album on the cassette deck as I went through the Texas panhandle in fog so thick I couldn’t see past the hood of the car and then almost running out of gas as I went through Flagstaff until someone on the CB could direct me to a gas station. Those were the days.
This guy is a tremendous lyricist and songwriter. Check out "These Days." He wrote it when he was sixteen years old. Love your channel, you guys, it always picks me up and makes my day!
Jackson Browne is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. His first album (Together Again) was released in 1971, and his music has only gotten better. He co-wrote the Eagles first hit "Take It Easy" with Glenn Frey. He also sang with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in the mid to late 60's before going solo. In 2007, he was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
Jackson Browne wrote a lot of beautiful songs, some of them when he was incredibly young. Many artists, including Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor have recorded his songs. I love his voice too🌺✌️
Jackson Browne represents a wonderful rabbit hole for your perusal. Aside from his many hits Ive always found more riches in his extensive catalogue in songs never taking off as single hits. The guy is legendary. In The Shape of a Heart is a masterpiece for me.
Please do more Jackson Browne! You can't miss with his music. He Co wrote songs for the eagles, he wrote songs for movie soundtracks....he's a master and his music is real.
I've always really liked Jackson Browne. Great song writer. He actually started writing "Take it Easy", but was having trouble completing it. It gave what he had written to Glen Frye of the Eagles who completed the song and it was a huge hit for the Eagles.
Wife here...Love Love Jackson Brown..I think this is one of best song's..! Also "Running on Empty"..And everyone will mention "Somebody's Baby".. He is a seriously good songwriter...As always...,enjoy your insight on songs!
Jackson Browne’s singer/songwriter style always puts me in mind one of other most favourite artists, Gerry Rafferty. One from the US and the other from the UK, both brilliant.
And his other hits were on the radio so much when I was a kid but it was one of the artists that I really never got tired of hearing because it's just so good. And now that I'm older, I can see what a brilliant songwriter he was. And I played music for years and I really appreciate the arrangements and of course his voice is lovely. His album Running on Empty is phenomenal but the single that I bought in high school that always made me feel emotional and I've seen other people recommended here, is called Load Out / Stay. It's about after the show is over and the Roadies are packing up all the stage gear and the arena is now empty but he's telling them please leave my piano to be the last thing cuz he just wants to keep playing it. And then it's time to get on the bus and travel to the next town and then do the next show. But then the second part, which is side B of the single, and there are TH-cam videos that put the two back to back with just a slight Gap because they're meant to be one continuous song on the album is during the show and he's saying hey people stay please stay, make us play a little longer and you can hear audience noise in the background and stuff and it's a lot more upbeat. It's just a wonderful and emotional composition.
Jackson Browne is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in the business. He’s had a long string of hits in his career, but my absolute favorite has to be “Late For The Sky”. ❤️✌🏼😎
If they're not blocked, check out the live late 1970's videos of both "Running On Empty" and "The Load Out/Stay". Excellent musicians, vocals and messages.
“Doctor my eyes, they cannot see the sky, is this the prize for learning how not to cry?” Sobering, powerful theme against the backdrop of jazzy, upbeat music. Interestingly effective.
Jackson Brown "Doctor My Eyes"!!! Great!!! "Running on Empty" & "Load out" which is about at the end of the concert can you stay just a little bit longer. BTW Jackson Brown had the basement apartment under Glenn Frey's apartment (Before The eagles) and Glenn said he could hear how Jackson would work out a song which helped Glenn learn how to write songs. Also it was Jackson Brown that started writing "Take It Easy" but then got stuck on the lyrics. Glenn then took it and he began with the lyrics " It's A Girl My Lord In A Flat Bed Ford"
Jackson Brown is a genius philosopher who can express his thoughts and feelings about a subject and put it to music better than just about anyone else. You absolutely have to hear Running On Empty, That Girl Could Sing, Love Needs A Heart, Somebody’s Baby, Lawyers In Love,The Loadout/Stay and many others. He was Glen Frye’s (Eagles) roommate and gave them a song (Take It Easy)that became one of their first hits. This Dude is ALL THAT AND MORE.
Don’t sleep on those amazing backing vocals from David Crosby and Graham Nash. Jackson Browne is an Excellent songwriter! “These Days” is a study in lyrical genius, and I especially love Nico’s cover of it. “Running on Empty” is also his classic. *Hope you check out some Boz Scaggs like “Lowdown” & “Jojo” soon 🔥
Fountain of Sorrow. After the Deluge. These are great Jackson Browne songs. Good reaction guys, yes, you tuned into the lyrics - and that’s where the treasure is in Jackson Browne. Definitely.
So happy you’re on to Jackson. I’ve been a fan since forever. This song is a vibe and it sounds as good today as when it was released in 1978. Please do “Here Come Those Tears Again” next. I think you’ll really like it. ❤️
Ol' Jackson Browne has had a long, varied career. Most of it he has been in front of his band on the road, but he has done a lot of supporting work for others as well. My favorite little two song segue i from the album The Pretender, when he does "The Loadout" into his cover of "Stay", it shows some real good emotion, and the reaction of the live audience is classic.
Jackson Browne has a unique talent. He writes brilliant and meaningful songs , one after the other. This song features one of the great guitar accompaniments as well.
1972, I graduated HS....forgot this one. 50 year reunion this year, WOW...Thank You fun to reminese. Great music 60s 70s...music changed dramatically, but with hard times great music comes out of it......Thank You for introducing me to new talent, I even like some Rap, Harry Mack, Jelly Roll, and many others....🤗
Jackson was deep with the lyrics,..but ohh could he make it catchy huh?,..have you singing along,.foot tapping,..dancing with your girl,..swinging her out and back again,..incredible song writer,..Asia and BJ,..just sit back, close your eyes and imagine its 1972,..home from school,..laying back in your bed,..radio above your head,..blaring out Jackson,..just takes me back I swear,..it so trips me out when I hear you young people say, ohh its a new song,..or a new artist,..and it's someone I use to listen to 40, 50 years ago,..I'm so happy your getting hooked on this old music,..old for me,..huh old like me😉,..Somebody's Baby,.Running On Empty,..Stay(which is an oldie from the early 60's, just on the heels of the 50's,.had that 50's sound like songs the Platters did,.Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, Jackson is doing a cover, I use to hear and see other groups on Midnight Special,.Johnny Carson do a cover of it, think maybe Linda Ronstadt even, besides Jackson), Pretender(humpff, such a good one, beautifully done, composed),..I swear when you hear his songs,..and see him perform,..I just looks so effortless,..you can just picture him coming up with these songs so easily,..like breathing in air,..do enjoy,..do keep going,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Thx! One of my favorites! There was a time when mellow music was in vogue. Shout out to Jesse Ed Davis on guitar and Leland Sklar on bass! Russ Kunkel on drums and Crosby and Graham on backing vocals! Great piece! Love Jackson Browne!
Thanks Asia and BJ for reviewing this song and it's made me emotional hearing that song again and your comments. This song always captures my heart and soul. We are all doing our best in the inner city helping the kids and making a positive difference in our community. God bless
As far as I'm concerned, Jackson Browne is one of the best singer/song writers of the 1970's. Check out - "The Late Show", "For a Dancer", "Your Bright Baby Blues", "The Only Child", "Love Needs a Heart", "Looking into you", "From Silver Lake', & "Something Fine". All good songs.

For a Dancer, The Late Show, and Fountain of Sorrow are three of the most heartfelt ballads ever written
With so many absolutely incredible singer/song writers in the 70s (Don McClean, James Taylor, Carol King and on and on), Jackson Browne is THE best Lyricists of the period.
The Fuse, Your Bright Baby Blues...hell, the whole Pretender album!
Running on empty is my favourite.
From your picks I can tell you are a real JB fan. Jackson was a comforting symbiotic friend during “those days” of my youth. no pun intended ( those days)🎶
Simply one of the best song writers of the last 50 years. He is right up there with Dylan, Paul Simon and he others of that level
Agree 💯%!
Yall will love "The Pretender", JB is a great song writer with meaningful lyrics.
The Pretender is a classic. Such a wonderful song.
The Pretender seems to be a lot of us,great song
People should review Jackson's Get the Load Out / Stay. There's one of the most beautiful songs/ballads about rock n roll life.
Agree!
That has always been my favorite!
Yup! His dedication to all the people who get and keep the show running ( roadies and such) ✌️
Right up there Bob Seger's "Turn The Page".
Jesse Ed Davis rips it on guitar! Legend is that he just came into the studio and busted out that solo on the first pass, not written in advance or planed. Amazing!
That's one great guitar solo.
That guitar solo is mind blowing man all I can say!!
He's got a lot of great songs! "Running On Empty" has always been my favorite!
That’s a classic!
Mine too.
Great song my 2 faves are of missing persons and call it a loan
So many greats by this man, The Pretender being my favorite, Running on empty, take it easy(a hit for the eagles) On the Boulevard and the comments will give you many more. One of the greatest singer/song writers ever, bar none. Check out more, you won't be disappointed. Rock on y'all.
Add For a Dancer and Before The Deluge And then you have some of his best tunes.
Don't forget Stay
@@TonyM1961 That song is part of the Load Out!

Jackson Browne also lent his studio to SRV for his first album Texas Flood.
Love Jackson Browne songs. 💞💞💞
Take it easy was JB’s song. It was unfinished and Glenn Frey kept bugging him to finish it so the Eagles could record it. Finally JB said Glenn could amd Glenn added a very few lines.
And don't forget Rosie!!!!
"That Girl Could Sing"is one of his best and most overlooked songs.
"That Girl Could Sing" is a overlooked gem by Jackson Browne.
Thanks for throwing this one out there..
This song haunted me for years thinking of a high school girlfriend of mine who was so much like the girl in this song.
She was a friend to me when I needed one.. but now she’s my wife and the love of my life.
And yes, that girl does SING..

Russ Kunkel on drums and Leland Sklar on bass.
@@ALong-fo5so What a band! Jesse Ed, unknown to so many people. Smooth as silk.
Late For the Sky was my recommendation also, so well written.
Load Out and People Stay is my favorite. So cool!
I read somewhere that the guitarist (A Native) later died of an OD. Can anyone corroborate?
1972 I was 18 when I first heard this on the radio.... Jackson has been my favorite ever since ... please “these days” and “the pretender” please ...
Wow, this is exactly what I would have written…. Same age, same time, Same song, same reaction
Same here! That is his magic, he is such a wordsmith! It was like the Phoebe Snow song, " Killing Me Softly with His Song!" Nailed it for 35 years!
Can’t miss songs by Jackson Brown:
Somebody’s Baby
Running on Empty
Tender is the night
The Load-out
You both might be the most entertaining couples on the tubes. One of my regular stops when i need a lift. Cheers
All good. (But for me, The Load Out is amazing.)
Those are all great songs! One of my absolute favorites is "These Days"
I heard Tender is the night on the ride in to work this morning, that's why I'm here. Somebody's baby is also a good one.
@@bindzakabindiboo6725he wrote it when he was 16
Check out his record Late For The Sky
After having heard "Doctor My Eyes" you are ready for "The Pretender" which is one of his absolutely most profound and interesting songs.
Jackson Browne's, "The Pretender" & "Shape of a heart" are great!!
On CNN's History of The Eagles, Glen Frye talks about living downstairs from Jackson Browne when he was writing this song and how he'd do the opening phrases on his piano over and over and over, then he'd write some more and then play up to that point over and over and at that moment, Frye realized what it takes to write songs - persistence, elbow grease, hard work.
"Colors of the Sun", "For Everyman", "Late For The Sky", "For a Dancer", "The Late Show", "Your Bright Baby Blues", "The Only Child", "My Opening Farewell", "Looking Into You", "From Silver Lake', "Something Fine", "I Am a Child", "These Days", "Lawyers in Love". Genius songs. There are many more. He is one of the true musical poets. His body of work will endure through the generations.
Love all these songs, too. Seems like these songs are the best of JB. I would add “Sky Blue & Black”
Jackson has been broadcasting from home on youtube during the covid time. He still sounds as good live now.
Jackson’s another 70’s songwriter and piano man. So many great songs!
The Load Out is a MUST see Live! His Tribute to his Roadies.
This instrumentation on this song is incredible. The bass line is especially fine. It was played by the legendary bassist Leland "Lee" Sklar, who has his own great TH-cam channel.
Leland Sklar is amazing!! I love his TH-cam channel.
Please do more Jackson Browne!! He is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation.
Now you done it! once you go Jackson Browne! you never go back! straight up ICON! just pick a song you will love it! he is a true poet!
For me, Jackson is the MAN. The words. The song structures, The melodies. He's got it all.
Jackson Browne is the background music of my college years! His music is wonderful. i could listen to him all day!
I fell in love with his music as a teen listening to his great Running On Empty album. So talented.
Not a bad song on that album!!❤❤
I've got a pic of my son with Jackson in Jamaica a few years back, he was the guitar tech for Little Feat and Jackson played their annual Ramble On the Island fest. Cool dude. 🤘✌️
Jackson Browne, one of my all time favorites.....you feel every song
The great Jackson Browne. I loved his song "THESE DAYS"
Me Too...! (and many others)
@@2869may Definitely.He is a great songwriter/singer.Too many songs of his I like.
Written when he was 16!
In 1974 i feel in love with Jackson from listening and looking at his picture on my 4 older sisters album. Such a cutie!
you two give off such a good vibe as good people... that's all I wanted to say.
"These Days" is one of my favorites from Jackson Browne, though his song catalog is very deep! Lots of songs worth checking out. A great singer/songwriter of the 70s & 80s
Jackson is known for deep lyrics and good music, particularly because he works with some of the best studio musicians of his day. These Days is a good song, so is Pretender. Pretender and Doctor My Eyes were played a lot on radio back in 70s. Running on Empty was also played a lot on radio.
Love this song. And he wrote it when he was 15!!!
I LOVE JACKSON BROWN. HE IS SO TALENTED AND WHEN HE WAS SO TALENTED. STILL LOVE HIS SONGS.
Another great storyteller in music. Right up there with Bob Seger. Love Jackson Browne.
What a great song. Deep lyrics by Jackson and some great playing, the greatest of which is the absolutely perfect guitar solo by the always-tasteful and soulful Jesse Ed Davis.
Right on ya comment Jesse Ed Davis is Native American dude can jam even on many albums as a session guitarist!!
And... he did it one take, the first few notes when he comes he was just tuning up and Jackson wanted to record every note
That's Jesse Ed Davis guitar solo. Native American.
Jackson initially wanted him to play on another song. Jesse said Nah until he heard Doctor My Eyes and said now this song i can do something with!!!
Jackson Browne is a true artist! This song was from 1972. You two are great! Love watching your reactions!
Jackson Browne is a musician’s musician. And, that well is deep! He is one of the best singer songwriters of the 70’s and 80’s. He also, co-wrote Take It Easy with Glenn Frey which got the Eagles off the ground.

I love this song and cannot count how many times I played this whole album over and over again. Definitely check out Rock Me On the Water and Something Fine from the same debut album. Jesse Ed Davis plays that fantastic guitar solo in Doctor, My Eyes.
One of the best singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. A giant! The Pretender, Walking Slow, Lives In The Balance, Lawless Avenues, the Road and the Sky, For A Dancer...and dozens and dozens more. A GIANT!
Jackson Browne iconic.. running on empty album is epic !
I think Late For The Sky is his best work.
In November 1978 I left college in the Midwest and drove out to LA. I remember going in one day from OKC to Phoenix (about 1000 miles) repeatedly playing the “Running on Empty” album on the cassette deck as I went through the Texas panhandle in fog so thick I couldn’t see past the hood of the car and then almost running out of gas as I went through Flagstaff until someone on the CB could direct me to a gas station. Those were the days.
This man has written and produced amazing music for decades. Not only for himself but countless other artists.
This guy is a tremendous lyricist and songwriter. Check out "These Days." He wrote it when he was sixteen years old. Love your channel, you guys, it always picks me up and makes my day!
Great Song...!
Honestly I don’t hear much of this kind of music these days. Brings joy to my heart hearing this music.
So glad you found Jackson. Loved your reaction! ❤️
Jackson Browne is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. His first album (Together Again) was released in 1971, and his music has only gotten better. He co-wrote the Eagles first hit "Take It Easy" with Glenn Frey. He also sang with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in the mid to late 60's before going solo. In 2007, he was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
"Somebody's Baby" is probably, by far, his most famous, made so by the movie Fast Times at Ridgont High. And of course by his amazing voice.
Ehhh definitely debatable, Running on Empty is pretty famous and popular.
Jackson Brown was fantastic driving music. Mellow with great story telling.
Jackson Browne wrote a lot of beautiful songs, some of them when he was incredibly young. Many artists, including Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor have recorded his songs. I love his voice too🌺✌️
One of the best lyricist anywhere anytime!! Man can tun a phrase. Great voice!
Jackson Browne represents a wonderful rabbit hole for your perusal. Aside from his many hits Ive always found more riches in his extensive catalogue in songs never taking off as single hits. The guy is legendary. In The Shape of a Heart is a masterpiece for me.
I envy the both of you for being able to experience for the first time the music I have loved for so long. So many memories.
My favorite J.B. song is the "Load Out/Stay". He wrote it for the roadies who work to set up the concerts as they go from city to city. 🤔😎
"That Girl Could Sing" is another must listen from Jackson Browne 🥰
He has been a legend since this song was released on his first album in 1971. Extremely talented singer songwriter.
I always enjoyed his music. I hope ultimately guys continue with some more Jackson Browne
I got to see Jackson Browne and James Taylor in concert a few months ago. Two giant songwriters and singers. Love Jackson’s music.
Man that would be a great show....!
Man what a great song. Probably his best IMO.
I'm learning today guys, because I don't know this, but I must say I love his voice❤
Please do more Jackson Browne! You can't miss with his music. He Co wrote songs for the eagles, he wrote songs for movie soundtracks....he's a master and his music is real.

Congas, guitar and piano have such a synchronicity that make this song timeless. Love it !!
He is still at it even in his seventies. I just saw him on a recent Austin City Limits and he still performs so professionally.
Jackson Browne’s singer/songwriter style always puts me in mind one of other most favourite artists, Gerry Rafferty.
One from the US and the other from the UK, both brilliant.
This album is 50 years old and still so relatable, You can't go wrong with any of his music.
Y'all are hitting all my teen years tonight!
Jackson Browne. Always worth a listen...His bands were always full of L.A's best and his songs are just so damn good...
And his other hits were on the radio so much when I was a kid but it was one of the artists that I really never got tired of hearing because it's just so good. And now that I'm older, I can see what a brilliant songwriter he was. And I played music for years and I really appreciate the arrangements and of course his voice is lovely.

JB is a genius! "Late for the Sky" album is a masterpiece. Still making superb music with a new album out recently,. A lot to explore!!
The Pretender is a MUST…..it’s a lyrical masterpiece!!
"Tender Is The Night" by Browne is my favorite by him.
Jackson Browne is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in the business. He’s had a long string of hits in his career, but my absolute favorite has to be
“Late For The Sky”. ❤️✌🏼😎
If they're not blocked, check out the live late 1970's videos of both "Running On Empty" and "The Load Out/Stay". Excellent musicians, vocals and messages.
“Doctor my eyes, they cannot see the sky, is this the prize for learning how not to cry?”
Sobering, powerful theme against the backdrop of jazzy, upbeat music. Interestingly effective.
You described it perfectly. Learned so much about our world in the last 5 years that makes me cry.

Jackson Brown "Doctor My Eyes"!!! Great!!! "Running on Empty" & "Load out" which is about at the end of the concert can you stay just a little bit longer. BTW Jackson Brown had the basement apartment under Glenn Frey's apartment (Before The eagles) and Glenn said he could hear how Jackson would work out a song which helped Glenn learn how to write songs. Also it was Jackson Brown that started writing "Take It Easy" but then got stuck on the lyrics. Glenn then took it and he began with the lyrics " It's A Girl My Lord In A Flat Bed Ford"
Jackson Brown “Runnin’ On Empty”. A total classic
Jackson Brown is a genius philosopher who can express his thoughts and feelings about a subject and put it to music better than just about anyone else. You absolutely have to hear Running On Empty, That Girl Could Sing, Love Needs A Heart, Somebody’s Baby, Lawyers In Love,The Loadout/Stay and many others. He was Glen Frye’s (Eagles) roommate and gave them a song (Take It Easy)that became one of their first hits. This Dude is ALL THAT AND MORE.
One of the best singer/songwriters of the 70's (and beyond!).
Don’t sleep on those amazing backing vocals from David Crosby and Graham Nash.
Jackson Browne is an Excellent songwriter! “These Days” is a study in lyrical genius, and I especially love Nico’s cover of it. “Running on Empty” is also his classic. *Hope you check out some Boz Scaggs like “Lowdown” & “Jojo” soon 🔥
Fountain of Sorrow. After the Deluge. These are great Jackson Browne songs.
Good reaction guys, yes, you tuned into the lyrics - and that’s where the treasure is in Jackson Browne. Definitely.
So happy you’re on to Jackson. I’ve been a fan since forever. This song is a vibe and it sounds as good today as when it was released in 1978. Please do “Here Come Those Tears Again” next. I think you’ll really like it. ❤️
Ol' Jackson Browne has had a long, varied career. Most of it he has been in front of his band on the road, but he has done a lot of supporting work for others as well. My favorite little two song segue i from the album The Pretender, when he does "The Loadout" into his cover of "Stay", it shows some real good emotion, and the reaction of the live audience is classic.
Maybe it was the album "Running On Empty", I may have goofed.
One of my all time favorites…Jackson Browne…huge when i was a teenager in the 70’s
Jackson Browne has a unique talent. He writes brilliant and meaningful songs , one after the other. This song features one of the great guitar accompaniments as well.
All the songs listed, and I'll add "Load Out/Stay". Jackson Browne has so much great music. Enjoy
Browne is part of the singer/ songwriter genre. And one of the best.
When people wrote lyrics that meant something.
Check out Jackson Browne's songs "In the shape of a heart", "Somebody's Baby", "Running on empty", "Tender is the night".
Another vote for "The Pretender" . The lyrics on screen suggested. Great song and message 👍👌✌️
Jackson Browne was 16 when he wrote this song. That is a kid with a lot of talent. Been a huge fan since the 70's.
1972, I graduated HS....forgot this one. 50 year reunion this year, WOW...Thank You fun to reminese. Great music 60s 70s...music changed dramatically, but with hard times great music comes out of it......Thank You for introducing me to new talent, I even like some Rap, Harry Mack, Jelly Roll, and many others....🤗
Jackson was deep with the lyrics,..but ohh could he make it catchy huh?,..have you singing along,.foot tapping,..dancing with your girl,..swinging her out and back again,..incredible song writer,..Asia and BJ,..just sit back, close your eyes and imagine its 1972,..home from school,..laying back in your bed,..radio above your head,..blaring out Jackson,..just takes me back I swear,..it so trips me out when I hear you young people say, ohh its a new song,..or a new artist,..and it's someone I use to listen to 40, 50 years ago,..I'm so happy your getting hooked on this old music,..old for me,..huh old like me😉,..Somebody's Baby,.Running On Empty,..Stay(which is an oldie from the early 60's, just on the heels of the 50's,.had that 50's sound like songs the Platters did,.Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, Jackson is doing a cover, I use to hear and see other groups on Midnight Special,.Johnny Carson do a cover of it, think maybe Linda Ronstadt even, besides Jackson), Pretender(humpff, such a good one, beautifully done, composed),..I swear when you hear his songs,..and see him perform,..I just looks so effortless,..you can just picture him coming up with these songs so easily,..like breathing in air,..do enjoy,..do keep going,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Hi guys.
Jackson just hits different. He tackles life and humanity. No silly love songs for him and I like it.
Thx! One of my favorites! There was a time when mellow music was in vogue. Shout out to Jesse Ed Davis on guitar and Leland Sklar on bass! Russ Kunkel on drums and Crosby and Graham on backing vocals! Great piece! Love Jackson Browne!
Thanks Asia and BJ for reviewing this song and it's made me emotional hearing that song again and your comments. This song always captures my heart and soul. We are all doing our best in the inner city helping the kids and making a positive difference in our community. God bless
Man, I was so blessed to have all this great music when I was young.
Jackson Browne is Big big. Checkout his “Before the Deluge “ , “Late for the Sky” or many others.
AGAIN ALWAYS SMOOOOTH AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PERFORMERS
