Since his 1972 debut, folk-rocker Jackson Browne has reflected his generation's existential and romantic concerns in some of the most melodically mesmerising and emotionally clear-sighted songs to ever barrel down an L.A. freeway. "Doctor My Eyes", "Running on Empty" and "These Days" give an innocent, unpretentious and universally relatable voice to everyday alienation. The later "For America" displays the increasingly pronounced social conscience of an artist equally comfortable as solo troubadour, Americana bandleader and outright rocker.
