Link to the Show / Show NotesIn many ways, Jackson Browne was the quintessential sensitive Californian singer/songwriter of the early ‘70s. Only Joni Mitchell and James Taylor ranked alongside him in terms of influence, but neither artist tapped into the post-’60s zeitgeist like Browne. While the majority of his classic ‘70s work was unflinchingly personal, it nevertheless provided a touchstone for a generation of maturing baby boomers coming to terms with adulthood. Not only did his introspective, literate lyrics strike a nerve, but his laid-back folk-rock set the template for much of the music to come out of California during the ‘70s.
