In the early seventies, the singer / songwriter became the epitome of musical creativity. Mixing elements of rock, pop, blues and even jazz with a constant striving for the finest lyrics possible, people like James Taylor and Carole King showed the way for a new generation of young talented people. Among them was guitarist and singer Jackson Browne, who wrote such gems as Doctor My Eyes, Running On Empty and Somebody’s Baby. His intricate guitar playing and deep arrangements are still a delight to hear on his most recent outings.
