Rock music legend Jackson Browne is a songwriter’s songwriter and he has the accolades and industry recognition to prove it. The multiple Grammy-nominated artist was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and he received a similar nod from the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007. So, it was fitting for Browne to finally make his debut at the Grand Ole Opry House where the song is singular and paramount on Sunday, June 18, 2023 in Nashville, Tennesseeseeing all the photographs of the famous country musicians hanging on the walls of the famous Opry dressing rooms. But, onstage he was calm, cool and collected as he presented a long concert consisting of some newer stuff, some older stuff and even some other people’s stuff thrown in for good measure.
If you have been in the music business as long as Jackson has there is going to be low moments to accompany all the highs and plenty of sorrow to temper the exhilarating joy that comes from receiving nightly applause and adoration from your fans. For Browne, this year has been particularly tough by losing two long-term bandmates in the form of guitarist David Lindley and keyboardist Jeff Young within three weeks of each othe
With that in mind Jackson dedicated the title track from his latest Downhill From Everywhere to Young who played a prominent role in the song’s writing and performance. Browne also indicated that he was currently on the road with his smaller “cut down” band that was missing a guitarist and keyboard player from the larger incarnation he has been touring with on recent outings. Jackson described how he wanted the intimate elements of his songs to be explored in this way and that goal was achieved without question. But, we also think it was just easier to not have to think aboutr.
