Jackson Browne Biography
According to what we know, Jackson Browne was supposedly born on an Army Base located in Germany. Shortly after, he moved to Southern California, which became his home while he spent his life growing up into a young man. The incredible songwriter, musician and singer found himself in New York just around 1967 where he began to squeeze into the genre of the New York scene of raw folk music. In retrospect, Jackson Browne can look back at his career and know that he can write music and lyrics simply based on his own feelings and beliefs, and can touch millions of people's lives by doing it. Let us not forget the millions of dollars he has also made, deservingly so. He's had a long career and has never been never afraid to speak his mind, even if he was touring non-stop. Since his music spoke what was on his mind, he didn't need to preach to get his point across and this is what made him one of the most musically talented, unique & influential people to come out of his generation.
His career in New York in the late sixties was just about to take off. All his early music and lyric writing  paid off when he landed a record contract with the label Asylum Records. His first album 'Saturate Before Using', came out in 1972 and he was only 23 years old. He continued to write and record music, pumping out four more widely popular albums by 1977. Three years later, Jackson Browne finally became the Number One listing on the Billboard charts for pop music with the album 'Hold Out'.
Jackson Browne would release another 5 albums by 2002, one of them reaching spot number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 music charts. Even though he's has his share of huge success, he's never let it go to his head. If you ever get the chance of meeting him in person, you will see that Jackson Browne is one of the nicest, most gentle and caring people you will ever meet. His persona and aura is just like his music; beautiful and calming.
