Jackson Browne is one of the artists I listen to when I have to think. He reminds me of being a little girl and riding a dark highway; his accompaniment the VW engine backed by tires against concrete, the beat kept by the wipers moving back and forth; the percussion was the rain, the streetlights announced another sleeping town and that mournful, powerful piano he played rolled us through the blinking lights and on into the night.
I will be purchasing the acoustic compilation released earlier this month and travel the once enigmatic highway of my memories.
GOod choice. Used to listen to him in college. Should dig that out again. Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!

My 20 year old asked me if it was Jack Johnson.
Jack Johnson "Flake" video. Click the play button. I saw him at the N.O. Jazz Fest this spring. Fun to watch. http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/musicPopup.asp?songId=20&songRank=05
Posted by: Ralph at October 31, 2005 02:46 PMI really like Jack Johnson, too :D Sexy Plexi is one of my favorites. I first heard him while waiting at the dollar theater. The college students that ran the place had just gotten his newly released album and were playing it in the lobby. I think I may have even blogged about it (?).
I have Running on Empty and The Pretender on iTunes and in my mini. I love his music. I found an old post from last fall that mentions a few of my favorite things and Jackson Browne is on it. I am consistent in at least a few things.
