He gives himself in his songs. He is not a performer in my mind, he is a giver of his music...That's not to say I don't love performers- he is great on stage- but it is something more powerful, more giving. Thanks JB- I absolutely adore you and always have.
I saw Jackson do a solo acoustic show in 2002. I was so impressed with his acoustic sound, I got home that night and bought a vintage Gibson J45 on eBay, After 6 months of NOT sounding like him, I sold the guitar.
I met Jackson 2 years later at a private event and he told me about his Roy Smeck Gibson which he is playing in this and many other videos. He said this guitar, combined with custom pickup + double drop D tuning gave him this great sound. Thanks for sharing JB. :-)
AWESOME....just AWESOME!!! Absoultely one of the GREAT Storyteller/Poets along with James Taylor AND the Late GREAT Dan Fogelberg...my personal favorite!! Thanks so much for posting this....
I'm in college, and although i'm not old enough to truly appreciate this whole album, Jackson has gotten me through school; the good times and the bad. God Bless JB and David Lindley....Two of the most Talented musicians I have ever listened to.
I initially wanted to post something about JB & his music...but after reading "laswilliam's previous comment", I quickly realised that all that is meaningful has been posted already!
There's a difference between an entertainer and an artist. Now there's no question that Jackson Browne is one of the finest poets of the last 100 years but, I'll tell you- I also think it is his artistry as a performer that makes him one of the greats.
Watch him perform any of his songs. You never catch him performing. He's just a beautiful man telling true stories.
I have loved Jackson Browne's for a long, long time (since 1972) and For Everyman has to be one of my most favourite. Poetic and beautiful, as always.

i think jb's passion elicits the like response in his listeners, and isn't that the definition and point of art in any form? words fail....
