Jackson Browne

Singer-songwriter will hit the road for most of June and July.

Stringed instrument virtuoso also played with Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Crosby & Nash and many more.

Earth Day track appears in documentary exploring pollution caused by plastic.

Track was written before coronavirus pandemic, but it sounds incredibly timely.

He also released a new song, "Teach Me Tonight."

He decided to face outward after spending his early career brilliantly articulating the inner lives of a generation.

Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey co-wrote "Take It Easy," the opening track on the Eagles' 1972 self-titled debut – and the band's first hit single.

As the '80s continued, he'd drifted away from the eloquently phrased personal concerns that dominated earlier records.

Jackson Browne's 14th album, 'Standing in the Breach,' will be released on Oct. 7.

The new Jackson Browne tribute album is well worth a listen.

Given the glut of tribute records released over the past couple of decades, it seems impossible that Jackson Browne hasn't gotten one yet -- but that oversight will be corrected on April 1, when an all-star assemblage of musicians comes together for the double-disc set 'Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne.'

The mid-to-late '80s found Jackson Browne drifting away from the confessional folk-rock balladry of his early years and into more politically charged material, much to a portion of his fanbase's despair. But for his 10th album, 'I'm Alive,' he had more personal concerns in mind.
