I love Jackson Browne. His ability as a lyricist is unmatched. "I'm gonna find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means and we'll fill in the missing colors in each other's paint-by-number dreams" Come on- no one else is writing like that! It's some of the best lines I've ever heard in a song.

When I was 17 I thought that Jackson Browne would have the answer to all of life’s questions. Granted, I had no idea what those questions might be but whatever they were I would sure that JB would be able to answer them. I eventually realized that he was dealing with his own and no closer to answering them than he would have been mine. The whole album is a masterpiece.

I saw Jackson Brown doing a solo acoustiic show and a guy in the audience yelled out..."play a happy song". Jackson stopped and pondered for a second then laughed and said, "I don't think I have any." It was a brilliant show the smiles came from the heart as he played.

Jackson never resorts to cliches in his lyric writing. Even some of the greatest songwriters will use timeworn phrases occasionally, but whenever Jackson turns a phrase, there is almost always a new spin on it. He says things that have been said a million times in brand-new ways.

what Dylan was to the sixties Jackson was to the 70s.....feb 1974 my little sister my girlfriend and I hitchhiked in an upstate new York blizzard to see linda Ronstadt open for Jackson in a small college gym and it was magical...here's a review from the new York times: 'Jackson browne brought a deeply personal strain of romantic idealism to the folk-pop movement writing visionary love songs and meditations that had dark premonitory undercurrents blending traditional folk harmonies with echoes of cowboy laments and protestant hymns which lent his songs an extra gravity while being brilliantly supported by david lindley on the violin creating some of the most entrancing concerts of the 1970s'.....that truly sums it up....so gad you added this artist to your circle of analysis videos.....marvelous....thanks....

Thank you for the warm remembrances of that show. Unfortunately, by the late 1980s to early 1990s 190s, fickle concert-going crowds and already lumped Jackson into kind of a classic rock vein. I saw him around 1989 or 1990 at a large outdoor venue, with Lindley and El Rayo X as the opening band. El Rayo X put on a great show as usual but the greatest hits type crowd paid him almost no attention whatsoever. The band Jackson was touring with at that time did not specifically include Lindley, but about 45 minutes into the show the rest of Jackson's band left the stage, the Roadies wheeled out a grand piano, Jackson sat down at it and started to play, and then we heard the strains of a violin coming through the PA system and finally Lindley strolled out slowly while playing. they did a half-dozen songs together has duets, piano and violin, piano and guitar, guitar and violin, two guitars, and so on. It was absolutely magical, but the jaded Greatest Hits type crowd had no patience for it. They kept calling out for other songs, and just a few folks here and there stood on top of their chairs and clapped off time and inappropriately considering the quiet nature of the songs being performed. At one point, Jackson said to the crowd, "you all are calling out for some very old songs. I guess this must be the valley that time forgot." this is a good example of why my wife and I prefer to see bands and small clubs or theaters, and generally avoid large festivals. The upcoming Woodstock 50 Festival looks like it's going to be a real mess, judging from the performance lineup. I mean really, Jay-Z performing at Woodstock?

Bob Seger was another. I remember seeing Glenn on a TV show about 5 years ago and he was a guy in a band, backing up someone, a female, i believe.. He asked Bob for advice about song writing and saying "What if they aren't any good?" Bob replied "They won't be, at first. Find a style you like and stick with it". Worked out ok, i think ;) I think he had an apartment just below Jackson after moving to Ca and would glean tips from him working out a song. Those were great times for music !!

I love Jackson Browne. Have loved him since the 70s. I got to see him in Ottawa about 8 years ago. It was just him and about 17 guitars hanging on a rack, each one serving his purpose for different songs and he had a piano as well, but no other backup and it was magic. He didn't require any fancy effects and yet held us all spellbound. I got to hear Bruce Cockburn the same weekend at the same venue (couldn't choose between those two tickets, so bought both). Jackson was espousing the prowess of Bruce Cockburn's playing and the storytelling was so wonderful. If he ever makes it this way again, I will splurge for as close to the front row as I can get. Thanks for featuring him. Please... do it again... there is such a repertoire to choose from.... and if you do get around to Bruce Cockburn, that would be fabulous too... sorry... don't mean it as bossy... just suggesting. :-) Saying sorry... I'm so Canadian.

Oh yeah, I remember El Rayo X, I saw them four times back in the 80s, from small clubs to large outdoor stages. It seems I have been a Lindley fan for as far back as I can remember, and I've seen him several times solo acoustic or doing duets with percussionist Wally Ingram. I sure hope he'll come around to New England again sometime soon, I heard he had to cancel some shows because of health problems, tinnitus perhaps. I will share a couple of quotes about him from other people. "All my life, I wanted to be him. Not that I had heard of him when I was a kid, but I have always wanted to be able to do what it is that he does." David Bromberg. And another: "You can come to him with any idea you might have, no matter how weird, and he will know exactly how to embellish it. But God, he's brilliant!" Linda Ronstadt. And my own comment, which is, Jackson Browne without David Lindley is like treacly taffy without salt water.

Jackson is my all time favourite artist. This song has always been my favourite, especially the lyrics “it’s like a song playing right in my ear but I can’t sing, I can’t help listening”. Perfectly expresses my own experience with grief from losing loved ones. Other great lines include; “don’t remind me of my failures, for I have not forgotten them” from these days, the entire “you’re the colour of the sky reflected in each storefront window pane” verse from Sky blue and black, and the entire last verse of late for the sky. Scratch that everything he writes is beautiful poetry. Even Rosie.

The Pretender album got a lot of play during a rough patch in my life(I was eighteen)...I suppose I fancied that Jackson and I grieved together. So many good songs on all of his albums, and such distinct melodies, particularly on the early ones. Dr My Eyes, Running On Empty, The Load Out, Somebody's Baby...on and on. I still don't understand why he wasn't more popular. Even now, I make note that there are only 732 likes on this video. A shame, that. Truly. Thank you for appreciating this quietly gifted musician.

I was 14 when I first heard the album Late For the Sky. 'For a Dancer' was, and is, one of my favourite Jackson Browne songs -- for all of the reasons you point out. In 2008, my beautiful soul mate was killed when her car hit a tree. For months and months I played 'For a Dancer' over and over again until my body could no longer produce tears. Jackson Browne was my grief counsellor. Also, how grateful I feel to have been a teenager in the 70's -- the amazing singer/songwriters arrived after (and because of) The Beatles at the same time as technology gave the great performers the equipment to record great sounding albums -- and technology gave the listener the equipment to listen. I'm now 60, brain a little effected by too much partying and too much weed (well maybe just a tad too much) -- and I'd change nothing. Well maybe I'd have banned Disco!

Shawnee Kee! Fancy meeting you here! I was just having a Jackson Browne binge after listening to Jesse Ed Davis' solo in "Doctor My Eyes" and reading his tragic story again. This one cheered me up and thinking of you attending a concert at Red Rocks made it even better!

This is sweet. Jackson Browne fan from the early '70s but didn't buy anything until Running On Empty as a gift. Time goes by and i'm all over his releases, even loving a cover like Late For The Sky,,,54 Chev. Bought a book in the mid '80s but can't recall too many details, sadly. Will say The Texas Flood SRV sound was a Dumble amp 'donated' for the session, by Jackson Browne.

When I saw the title of Jackson Browne & the depth of his writing, I was hoping it would be For a Dancer! "In the end there is one dance you do alone." OMG! I love watching the live version to see him sing it. But, the lp version is special also, as David Crosby and Joni Mitchell sing beautifully on the harmoniy!

First of all, HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY FAIR PATRONS AND NON PATRONS! Wow, what can i say, JACKSON BROWNE! Fil, such a heart warming analysis, so beautifully put i never knew much about Jackson's back ground, except, he was a great song writer, all the lyrics had such down in your soul meaning, sad about his friend, and his first wife, very tragic... Some ppl think that musicians, and other ppl in the industries, have a picture perfect life, all rainbows and flowers, when in fact, they have more tradgedys and sorrows in their lives than us commoners, ... I loved Jackson's, song "Doctor. My Eyes"that came about around 73, 4, or 5, also "Runnin' On Empty".....Bravo Filip, you have done it again!

Big fan of Jackson's early stuff. such a great song writer and story teller. To me, he was more than just a singer/songwriter with a guitar or piano. Part of that was the people he worked with, I think that the bands and musicians he put together and played with took his song presentation to a higher level. Thanks for something a little different.

Jackson is one of the best songwriters ever! A true craftsman. He has the patience to craft a song artfully, and the vocal chops to sing emotively.

You are the best Fil! You are not in a reactor you are a music educator. There is a huge difference between the two. Great job analyzing this highly introspective piece by Jackson Browne! I really enjoyed your recent piece on Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood live in 83. And his super heavy strings. Of course they will only be one Stevie Ray Vaughn but, you nailed what is playing extremely well! You are one hell of a guitar player! You are much appreciated! Keep it up and God bless.

I love how he uses changing dynamics on the piano. His playing isn't technically difficult but the way he plays the chords, alternately stronger and softer, adds so much depth. And his voice has that smooth tone to it. Such a talented performer and songwriter. Would you be able to do any analysis of any performances from Live at Daryl's House? Not sure about copyright issues, but there are some great live jams from those shows.

Those facts on screen were added when these clips were broadcast as part of BBC programmes that used the Whistle Test archive. When originally broadcast Whispering Bob said a few words and then we had the performance- and he might interview folk if they had played live in the studio- or he tracked them down elsewhere for interviews. I think those little fact additions were done by Pete Frame- for the BBC shows Rock Family Trees that used these clips.
