Results for Jackson Browne

The color best associated with Californian Jackson Browne isn't rainbow at all, but precious: gold. Golden voice, golden touch, gold albums and gold standard for style and content are all attributes acknowledged by fans and friends and eloquently described in Bruce Springsteen's heartfelt introduction at the artist's 2002 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. There are too many standouts in Browne's recording career to choose just one great, history-making album. "Jackson Browne," "Late for the Sky," "The Pretender," "Lawyers in Love" and "I'm Alive" are just a few that capture the hearts, souls and minds of his listeners. Browne's music gives voice to feelings from both extremes of the spectrum, the clear and the dazed, the hot and the not, the loved and the lost, and speaks to, for or about every-man. His themes anticipate or reflect social and political issues with lyrics straightforward, serious, slyly humorous or philosophical, and his appeal as performer and paragon is 30-years strong. Browne's 2002 "The Naked Ride Home" was well received as was "The Very Best of..." released in 2004, and he remains busy on tour States-side and abroad.“more

    Costello’s ungentle judgment of Americans raised the stakes: “We hate you. We only come here for the money... We’re the original white boys, you’re the colonials.” The May 5, 1979 RS “Random Notes” item, reported from information offered by Bramlett, gives this as a general pronouncement to the “barroom crowd”; in other reconstructions, it is a response to a fan’s questions. Either way, this is fairly self-damning as insults go, splitting the difference (read more)

    Originally published in Rolling Stone, 27 February 1975 LONDON – "We're playing as one now like our life depended on it," Rod Stewart announced, looking down eagerly at his game pie in a posh London restaurant. "This American tour is a turning point for the Faces. If we can get that same rapport going with our audience that we had four years ago, then I'll say we’ve accomplished something. Then I'll say we've become one of those bands that's respected. (read more)
