Jackson Browne Artist Snapshot:

Jackson Browne was part of the mid-'60s Orange County, CA folk scene that also included Tim Buckley, Steve Noonan (one of the first to record Browne's compositions), and Greg Copeland (for whom Browne later produced an album). After having songs cut by everyone from Nico to the Byrds, Browne embarked upon a highly successful solo career, becoming the premier sensitive singer-songwriter of the '70s Los Angeles studio-rock scene that included Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. Browne's commercial fortunes waned a bit when his writing veered from the personal to the political, but the quality of his work has never waned.

Review

Rolling Stone (8/5/99, p.71) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...the songwriter of the moment on a Seventies scene that was just emerging as a cultural force....he was testing his talents with obvious joy, because, like his audience, he was just discovering them."

Title Note

Personnel: Jackson Browne (vocals, guitar, piano); David Lindley (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Sneaky Pete Kleinow (pedal steel guitar); Craig Doerge, David Paich, Bill Payne, Rockaday Johnnie (piano); Joni Mitchell (electric piano); Michael Utley, Spooner Oldham (organ); Doug Haywood (bass instrument, background vocals); Leland Sklar, Wilton Felder (bass instrument); Gary Mallaber, Jim Keltner, Russ Kunkel, Micky McGee (drums); David Crosby, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bonnie Raitt (background vocals).

Browne's second album is state of the art early '70s L.A. ruminative singer/songwriter stuff, but in retrospect it's nowhere near as slick or mellow as the listener might remember. In fact, the combination of Sneaky Pete Kleinow's pealing steel and David Lindley's smudgy psychedelic lead guitar on songs like "Take It Easy" (all but unrecognizable from the Eagles' pop version) and "Our Lady of the Well" create a sound that eerily anticipates the '90s alt country rock of the Jayhawks and Golden Smog.

Even better, Browne's songwriting, though not quite as consistent as on his debut, is still in top form here. The poignant, often-covered "These Days," the uptempo feel and nudge-nudge humor of "Red Neck Friend," the autobiographical "Ready or Not," and the reflective title track all rank among Browne's best tunes. FOR EVERYMAN has a fuller sound than the singer's debut, and the new sonic textures and excellent songwriting proved that Browne's success with the first album was no fluke, and that he was in the game for keeps.
