Many consider Jackson Browne to be the archtypal Californian singer/songwriter of the early 1970s. With a trove of personal songs and radio hits, Jackson Browne still maintains an uncanny ability to his audiences around the world. Jackson Brownes' unique blend of introspection, contemplatyion and laid-back folk groove was as endearing as it was influential. It became the template for much of the music to come out of California during the '70s.

With his first four albums, Jackson Browne built a loyal following that never staed its love for laid back sunny folk rock. 1976's The Pretender is one of his defining albums. During the late '70s and early '80s, he was at the height of his popularity, as each of his albums charted in the Top Ten.

Jackson Browne released Hold Out in 1980 and became his only number one album upon its summer release. In 1982, "Somebody's Baby," from the soundtrack of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, became Browne's biggest hit. His next album, Lawyers in Love was another hit because of a string of hit singles; "Lawyers in Love," "Tender Is the Night," and "For a Rocker." 1986's Lives in the Balance stayed on the charts for over six months and went gold.
