Jackson Brown is an influential member of rock and roll and activist, having been an influential member of the California folk/rock movement in the late 60s and early 70s. Jackson is on speed dial of every major artist, considered the conscience of rock.
Here are our three favorite Jackson Brown songs of all time…
“Running on Empty” was a song used by then Presidential candidate John McCain as an attack ad against Barak Obama. Jackson sued to have the campaign cease and desist.
“Stay” is the modern day remake of the classic Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs 50s song and pays homage to the song and era.
Without the hit single “Doctor My Eyes” we might not know who Jackson was. This popular song is about man’s disappointment and struggle in everyday life. David Crosby and Graham Nash are on the song.
