Jackson Browne is the self-titled debut album of singer Jackson Browne released in 1972. It peaked on the Billboard 200 chart at number 53. Two singles were released with "Doctor My Eyes" peaking at number 8 on the Pop Singles chart and "Rock Me On the Water" reaching number 48.
The brown-eyed, handsome man-child of California's '70s pop-rock scene wrote "These Days" when he was 16, and the rest is era-defining history. Jackson Browne delivers his literate lyrics and memorable melodies with deceptive calm, conveying even the cataclysms of "Before the Deluge" and "Doctor My Eyes" with country-rock cool. Songs like "The Load Out" and "Running On Empty" demystify rock stardom, while "Red Neck Friend" and "I Am a Patriot" do no less for America itself.
