{{Infobox musical artist 2|Name = Jackson Browne|Img = JacksonBrowne2.jpg|Img_capt = Jackson Browne at a 2006 Democratic fundraiser|Background = khaki|Birth_name = Clyde Jackson Browne|Alias =|Born = Heidelberg|Died =|Origin =|Instruments = Piano, Guitar|Occupation = [Singer-Songwriter—present|Label = [Elektra Records, [David Lindley, Waddy Wachtel, Bonnie Raitt, Clarence Clemons, David Crosby, Graham Nash, The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt, [1948) is an United States rock music singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, whose introspective lyrics made him the poster boy of the Southern California confessional singer-songwriter movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Early life and songwriter for others Browne was born in Heidelberg, Germany, where his father, an American serviceman, was stationed. Jackson's mother, Beatrice Amanda Dahl, was a Minnesota native of Norwegian ancestry.

Browne moved to the Highland Park, Los Angeles, California district of Los Angeles, California at an early age and began singing folk music in local venues. In 1966, he joined the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He had attended Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, California.

A precociously gifted songwriter, Browne signed a publishing contract with Nina Music, and his songs were performed by Joan Baez, Tom Rush, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, the Byrds and Steve Noonan, among others.

After moving to Greenwich Village, New York, Browne was briefly in Tim Buckley's back-up band. He also worked on Nico's Chelsea Girl (album), both by playing guitar and penning the classic song "These Days (Jackson Browne song)". After leaving New York City, Browne formed a folk band with Ned Doheney and Jack Wilce.

Classic personal period In 1971, Browne signed with Asylum Records and released Jackson Browne (album) (1972), which included the piano-driven "Doctor My Eyes", a Top 10 hit in the Billboard Hot 100. "Rock Me On The Water", from the same album, also gained considerable FM broadcasting, while "Jamaica Say You Will" and "Song For Adam" helped establish Browne's reputation as a versatile and original writer with a deep thinking, sometimes downbeat, but always romantic flair. During this period, he also toured with Linda Ronstadt.

His next album, For Everyman (1973) — while considered of high quality — was less successful than his debut album, although it still sold a million copies. The upbeat "Take It Easy," co-written with Eagles (band)' Glenn Frey, had already been a big hit for that group, while "These Days (Jackson Browne song)" captured the essence of Browne's youthful, morose angst, and the title track was the first of Browne's studies of personal exploration, soul-searching, and despair set against the backdrop of a decaying society.

Late for the Sky (1974) consolidated Browne's following, with some fans drawn in purely by the record's intriguing, Magritte-inspired cover. Highlights included the searching, heartbreaking title song, the elegy "For a Dancer" and the apocalyptic "Before the Deluge". The arrangements featured the evocative violin and guitar of David Lindley (musician), Jai Winding's outstanding piano, and the stellar harmonies of Doug Haywood. The title track was also featured in Martin Scorsese's film Taxi Driver. Around this time, Browne began his fractious but lifelong professional relationship with the brilliant but less successful singer/songwriter Warren Zevon, mentoring Zevon's first two Asylum albums through the studio as a producer after browbeating Asylum head David Geffen into giving Zevon a recording contract.

Browne's disaffected, wondering character struck out even more starkly in his next album, The Pretender (album), which is arguably his darkest. It was released in 1976, after the suicide of his wife, Phyllis. The album features stronger production by Jon Landau and a mixture of styles, ranging from the Mariachi-inspired peppiness of "Linda Paloma" to the country music-driven "Your Bright Baby Blues" to the near-hopeless sadness and surrender of "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate". Title track "The Pretender" is Browne's magnum opus, a vivid account of romanticism losing the battle with the realities of day-to-day life. "Here Come Those Tears Again" was cowritten by Nancy Farnsworth, the mother of Browne's first wife Phyllis Major, following Phyllis' untimely death.

By then, Browne's work had gained a reputation for its compelling melodies, clear, honest, and insightful lyrics, and a flair for composition rarely seen in the world of rock and roll. He was often referred to as "a thinking man's rock star."

Browne began recording his next LP while on tour, and Running on Empty (album) (1977) became his biggest commercial success. Breaking the usual conventions for a live album, Browne used all new material and combined live concert performances with recordings made on buses, in hotel rooms, and back stage, creating the audio equivalent of a road movie. Running on Empty (album) contains many renowned songs, such as the propulsive title track, "Running on Empty (song)", "The Road" (written and recorded in 1972 by Danny O'Keefe), "Rosie", and "The Load-Out/Stay (Maurice Williams song)" (Browne's affectionate and knowing send-off to his concert audiences and roadies).

Personal life Jackson Browne has been married twice and has two children. His first wife was actress/model Phyllis Major (1946-1976). The two began their relationship around 1971, as was artistically memorialized in the song "Ready or Not". Their son, Ethan Zane, was born in 1973. Phyllis and Jackson married in late 1975. He was devastated when she committed suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills just a few months later, in March of 1976, at the age of 30. After the death of his wife, Jackson, and his mother-in-law Nancy Farnsworth, co-wrote the song "Here Come Those Tears Again" using lyrics Phyllis had written. He was remarried in January 1981 to Australian model Lynne Sweeney and had a second son Ryan Daniel in 1982. Jackson and Lynn were divorced in 1983, after she found out he was carrying on an affair with Daryl Hannah. He has been in a relationship with artist Dianna Cohen since the mid 90's.

Turning political Shortly after the Three Mile Island accident in March 1979, Browne joined with several musician-friends to found the anti-nuclear organization, Musicians United for Safe Energy.

His next album Hold Out (1980) was commercially successful — his only number 1 record on the Billboard 200. The following year he released the single "Somebody's Baby" from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack, which became his biggest hit, peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The 1983 Lawyers in Love followed, signaling a discernable change from the personal to the political in his lyrics.

Political protest came to the fore in Browne's music in the 1986 album, Lives in the Balance, an explicit condemnation of Ronald Reagan and U.S. policy in Central America. Flavored with new instrumental textures, it was a huge success with Browne fans, though not with mainstream audiences. The title track, "Lives in the Balance", with its Andean music pan flute — and lines like, "There's a shadow on the faces / Of the men who fan the flames / Of the wars that are fought in places /Where we can't even say the names" — was a cri de coeur against U.S.-backed wars in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The song was used at several points in the award-winning 1987 PBS documentary film, The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by journalist Bill Moyers, and was part of the soundtrack of Stone's War, a 1986 Miami Vice episode focusing on American involvement in Central America.

During the 1980s, Browne frequently performed at benefit concerts for causes he believed in, including Farm Aid; Amnesty International (making several appearances on the 1986 A Conspiracy of Hope Tour); post-Somoza, revolutionary Nicaragua; and the Christic Institute. The album, World in Motion (album), released in 1989, was even more politically-oriented and polarization (politics).

In 1995 he performed in The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True a musical performance of the popular story at Lincoln Center to benefit the Children's Defense Fund. The performance was originally broadcast on Turner Network Television (TNT), and issued on CD and video in 1996.

Also during this period, Browne's romantic relationship with the actress Daryl Hannah ended amidst rumors in the tabloids that he had physically assaulted her. Neither party has issued any official statement regarding the alleged incident, and no charges were ever filed.

Later years Four years after his previous album, Browne returned with I'm Alive (album), a critically acclaimed album with a more personal perspective that had no hits but still sold respectably — indeed, the ninth track from the album, Sky Blue and Black, was used during the pilot episode of the situation comedy Friends. He also sang a duet with Jann Arden, "Unloved", on her 1995 album Living Under June. Browne's Looking East (1996) was released soon after, but was not as successful commercially. The Naked Ride Home was released in 2002.

Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. In his induction speech , Bruce Springsteen noted that while the Eagles (band) got to the Hall first, "You wrote the songs they wished they had written". The previous year, three of Browne's albums — For Everyman, Late for the Sky, and The Pretender — had been selected by Rolling Stone magazine as among its choices for the 500 best albums of all time.

Browne appeared in several super rallies for presidential candidate Ralph Nader in 2000, singing "I Am A Patriot" and other songs. He participated in the Vote for Change tour in October 2004, playing a series of concerts in American swing states. These concerts were organized by MoveOn.org to mobilize people to vote for John Kerry in the United States presidential election, 2004. Browne appeared with Bonnie Raitt and Keb' Mo', and once with Bruce Springsteen. In late 2006, Browne performed with Michael Stanley and J. D. Souther at a fundraiser for Democratic candidates in Ohio.

Browne's most recent album, Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1, was released in 2005 on Inside Recordings. The album consists of live recordings of eleven previously released tracks and "The Birds of St. Marks", a song that does not appear on any of Browne's studio albums.
