The Very Best of Jackson Browne
Description
Over the past three decades, Jackson Browne has created
and voiced many of the most literate and emotionally resonant compositions in
popular music and sold more than 15 million albums, including the seven-times
platinum Running On Empty and the 1 Hold Out. This year Browne’s artistry is
celebrated with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and with
this new retrospective from Rhino. Browne’s first-ever double-disc set
compiles hits, singles, and choice album cuts from his acclaimed catalog,
spotlighting both insightful works of personal introspection and passionately
delivered songs of social and political observation. The 2002 recipient of the
prestigious John Steinbeck Award (honoring those exemplifying the famed
writer’s environmental and social ideals), Browne is a mature artist and world
citizen whose work shines on this long-awaited collection. Though
Jackson Browne’s albums are not plentiful–in a career that stretches 32
years, he’s released just over a dozen–they’re filled with songs that serve
as resilient touchstones for millions who passed through those decades.
Originally forging a way for himself as a songwriter, his debut, Saturate
Before Using, placed him at the forefront of the southern California rock
scene. His contemporaries and compatriots, the Eagles, even took his “Take It
Easy” to the top of the charts. Even at his most anthemic, his songs resonate
with small details that keep the proceedings human-scaled. The sympathetic
accompaniment buoys a voice that’s remarkable for its lack of idiosyncrasies.
His unmannered singing voice is an essential component in making songs like
“These Days,” “Fountain of Sorrow,” and “Running on Empty” flow with a casual
ease that belies the high level of craftsmanship throughout. –David
