The brown-eyed, handsome man-child of California\'s \'70s pop-rock scene wrote \"These Days\" when he was 16, and the rest is era-defining history. Jackson Browne delivers his literate lyrics and memorable melodies with deceptive calm, conveying even the cataclysms of \"Before the Deluge\" and \"Doctor My Eyes\" with country-rock cool. Songs like \"The Load Out\" and \"Running On Empty\" demystify rock stardom, while \"Red Neck Friend\" and \"I Am a Patriot\" do no less for America itself.
