If I had to put together a list of my 10 favorite all-time artists, Jackson Browne would definitely hold one of the spots. He’s been on that list since music started playing a major role in my life. And now, if you ask my daughter her favorite, Jackson Browne would be one of the first names she’d mention as well.
I met Jackson a few times before I ever had the chance to interview him. The first was after a benefit concert at Santa Barbara’s Arlington Theater, when my date said to him, “You made her cry!”. And to his quizzical look I explained that “Late for the Sky” always makes me cry… and then sheepishly walked away.
I’ve always said that a truly great song can elicit a physical response, whether it be goose bumps or tears. Jackson Browne’s music does that for me.
I’ve seen him in concert countless times; more than any other artist. I’ve seen him with a full band, and I’ve seen him solo acoustic. The latter is how he came and joined me on the air at the KSCA Music Hall on September 13, 1996. If you enjoy what you hear on this episode of Radio Or Not, you’ll probably want to pick up Jackson’s latest album, “Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1”.
