Over the course of more than three decades, Jackson Browne has written and
performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music.
With classic albums including Late For The Sky, The Pretender, Running On
Empty, and For Everyman, and songs like "Doctor My Eyes," "Rock Me On The
Water," and "Lives In The Balance," he has defined a genre of songwriting
that is charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. Along the
way, he has touched the hearts and minds of countless fans worldwide.
Jackson’s artistry was recognized with his 2004 induction into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, the honor eloquently delivered by friend and fellow
Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen. He also received in 2004 an honorary
Doctorate of Music from Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a
remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely
personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice."
