Hey Jamel if you want to do something you definitely haven’t heard . Honeymoon Suite is a Canadian band . Look them up as they have many good songs . Stay in the light is one among many .
I first heard this song when I was 16 years old. I felt like Jackson had written it for me. The Vietnam war was winding down with protests in the street. My parents were looking down on the protesters as a bunch of no good hippies that have nothing better to do, and so were most of my friends. All that I could think of were my older than me, but still young neighbors that were drafted and never to come home. It seemed like to me that I was the only one paying attention. Hearing this song helped me realize that I was not alone in my thoughts.
I had always thought the lyric was "Is this the price..." but looking up the lyrics online it's listed on multiple sites as "Is this the prize...". Either one works of course. The sense is just slightly different.
It’s “price”. The narrator has paid the price of loss of sight for ignoring what’s going on around him. Like a “Twilight Zone” kinda story set to music.
Jamel, in this uncertain, often ugly time in our country you have been a regular dose of happiness. I am a huge music lover and already know the majority of the songs you review but your enjoyment of them has reopened my eyes and reignited my appreciation for these great artists. Thank you for your work, your enthusiasm and for making this world a better place!❤️
Your comment has me tearing up. Listening to Jamel has been so happy and amazing for me and family. My mom & dad are now hooked. I don’t know how I’d of made it through this last year without him. Keep spreading love ❤️
Sad thing is that he is fast burning through all the best music of the last couple of generations and will eventually be listening to the b sides. Sigh
So nice to hear music meant to touch the soul and heart while entertaining too. NO shouting, easy rhymes, be---tch this MF that, look how much money I've got.
Then jump into some Warren Zevon. They were close friends. “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” is about Jackson. Start with the obvious. “Werewolves Of London” and my fav, “Lawyers Guns and Money”.
Jackson might be the most underrated singer songwriter ever I really mean that. He wrote for EVERYONE even at 16 yrs old and ask a lot of the greats of his era that all talk him up he’s incredibly humble but his music speaks for itself.Great video
I've been telling all these people that does these who reaction videos do stay by Jackson Browne it's a classic do stay and nobody will do it I sometimes like wait a couple months after you requested that LOL
It's 1972 and I am coming home from fly fishing at Billingsley Creek. The sun is getting low in the west and this song is playing. Each time that it does, I am back in a wonderful time for me...
One of the best singer/songwriters ever. “The Pretender” is my favorite. The entire album is. I had a record player that shut itself off when the record was over. I went to sleep many nights to that album. Please react to more of his music!
Gary Lloyd I’d include Neil Young, Neil Sedaka, Billy Joel and Neil Diamond. Neil Sedaka, at 83, is still giving mini-concerts, while quarantined, on RUclips.
I had lunch with JB two years ago. Such a nice man, he does so many good things that people don’t know about. He has adopted several people in his family such as my son’s friend (JB’s nephew/adopted son). His mother died so Jackson adopted him so he could take care of him, he has adopted other family members as well (to help them). He lives completely off the grid near where I live. JB tours all year (except during pandemics) and most of his concerts are benefits to help native Americans as well as other people that are held down. His latest music is very deep. JB got arrested many years ago protesting a nuke plant near here.
He should tour during pandemics too cuz thats when we need music and healing the most. Screw the risks.. If you dont wanna take any gambles in life hide in your house all day...
The original is so short (a minute and a half or so...?), he would have a treat hearing both. Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs "Stay", followed by Jackson Browne "The Load-Out/Stay".
Yeah, his "Stay" really has to be listened to along with "The Load Out" it's just the coda to that song. Some radio stations in my area used to play "Stay" by itself. It always left me wondering where the rest of the song was.
I've seen the man live. 10 years ago. Just him, with 17 guitars on a rack in front of him (yeah, I counted) and a keyboard. I was in Heaven during the concert and so was he because he said that he was used to doing arenas, but this was the National Arts Center in Ottawa and the acoustics there are fabulous. This is a rabbit hold you will love... The Pretender, Running on Empty, Lives in the Balance, In the Shape of a Heart, Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate, oh man... there are so many and as a songwriter, he leaves you breathless, worn out and wanting more, even if it kills you. :-)
"These Days" He was 16 when he wrote it. This is like Van Morrison's albums. You can play any song off of "Saturate" and react to it. Also, check out songs from the albums "Late For The Sky" and "Running On Empty"
Finally! One of the great singer songwriters of the 70s and early eighties. Does not get nearly the recognition he deserves. Brilliant, poetic, empathetic, lyrics. With a pretty tight band to back it all up. Jackson represents the thinking man's rock. Check out 'The Pretender' or 'The Boulevard' next.
I was in high school when this song came out. Great song...I specifically remember hearing it during a make out session I was enjoying with a cheerleader from a rival school....ya, I scored on both fields....great days....
Jackson Browne is one of the legends of the modern R & R scene. A pioneer who wrote more hits for others than he had himself. One thing for sure, the world will never see another time like the late 60's/early 70's LA music scene. It basically birthed the music you play on your channel.
You’re a breath of fresh air for this grayhair here. I’ve been a music junkie since I got a transistor radio in 1961. It hung on the handlebars on my bike, and on my bedpost at night. I did my homework with the radio playing. It’s been such a big part of my life that every song has a place and time and people connected to it. Music is life!
"Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?" is the key to the lyrics IMO. You can stuff your feelings down and not let them show but eventually it catches up with you.
“Here come those tears again,” “load out/stay,” and of course “the pretender” are three of my favorites of Jackson Browne but all of his songs are awesome.
"Some other time baby When I'm strong and feeling fine maybe When I can look at you without crying You might look like a friend of mine" is one of my favorite lyrics anywhere
I would sing running on empty when my old Camaro was on E! Thanks to Zedge DOCTOR MY EYES is my doctor's ringtone Does anyone know grew up in HIGHLAND PARK in Los Angeles I was always told Jackson Browne's grandmother lived there? Love & Happiness to you all
I love this song! Jackson is a musical genius. You have got to hear more of his songs! Running On Empty! The Pretender! Rock Me On The Water! Do It Again! So many more!
Hello 🌺 Thanks for your love and support, for liking and commenting on my page and I want you to know I have all my fans in heart and that includes you. Jacksonbrowne98@gmail.com
I've always loved this song. The lyrics, melody, rythym and Browne's voice are a perfect example of one of the greatest songs during the 70's. It truly was an era of great talent.
Jackson was a huge part of the early Eagles sound. Giving Take it Easy, as an unfinished song, to Glen Frey as an example. The Eagles debut single and the rest is history.
They all shared a house together . I think was Glen said he had the broom closet under the stairs . He talked about it on the documentary about the Eagles 🦅
Tedderman johns Since it was actually a Don Henley tune that got them signed I’d say they were already destined for success . The difference between the industry then and now is , then everyone helped and encouraged each other . They wrote songs for each other , recorder their songs even played together in shows they weren’t being paid to play . Today everyone is stingy, aggressive and threatened by another artist talents to the point of sabotaging them or stealing their music , so they don’t have to compete with anyone or do the hard work for themselves .
My wife just doesn't get why I love watching reaction videos. How can I describe hearing an old favorite song from my youth with different ears, seeing its meaning through someone else's eyes, like those old discussions with friends over the lyrics and their meaning? You breathe that new life into it, Mr J! What once was just a bop when I was a kid, is now meaningful poetry with a message for today, because we're all adults today and you're just hearing it the first time. Amazing!
I HAVE to do this. This is the Wiki list of players: Jackson Browne - acoustic guitar, piano, vocals David Campbell - viola David Crosby - harmony vocals Jesse Ed Davis - electric guitar on "Doctor My Eyes" Craig Doerge - piano on "From Silver Lake", "Rock Me on the Water" and "My Opening Farewell" Jimmie Fadden - harmonica Jim Gordon - organ David Jackson - piano on "Looking into You" Sneaky Pete Kleinow - pedal steel guitar on "Looking into You" Leah Kunkel - composed vocal counter-melody on "From Silver Lake" Russ Kunkel - drums, congas on "Doctor My Eyes" and "Under the Falling Sky" Albert Lee - electric guitar on "A Child in These Hills" and "Under the Falling Sky" Graham Nash - harmony vocals Leland Sklar - bass guitar Clarence White - acoustic guitar on "Jamaica Say You Will"
A song for all times, then, now, and the future. I am proud, sad, mad, tearful, hopeful that we humans can create such deeply felt emotion in just three words, "Doctor my Eyes".
I’ve seen Jackson Browne several times in the 70’s & 80’s in Philly. He’s been my favorite since I was 13 years old. He is a an amazing storyteller & writer. My very favorite is Fountain of Sorrow🌹Its kind of haunting, tells a sad story, & JB does it so well
I saw Jackson in Philly in 80s and 90s - at the Spectrum and the Tower Theater and then took my young son to see him at the academy of music around 2012. He’s been my favorite since I was 12 years old in 1979, as my older brothers had all him albums. Still love him. Discovered Fountain of Sorrow in the early 2000s and that has become my all time favorite (if I’m forced to pick just one!) ❤️❤️❤️
One of the great song writers of our time. I like everything. The year I heard my first Jackson Browne song was the same year I wore a groove into my big 45 of "Rappers Delight" When he was inducted into the Rock and Roll HOF by Bruce Springsteen in 2004. Bruce said this about Jackson Browne's song writing "what draws women to Jackson was they finally heard a guy who knew as much about love as they did, and what drew men to Jackson was that when they listened to Jackson they realized they knew more about love than they thought they did. He's a poet. That what good song writing is right? it transcends time and place, race and creed and damn don't we all need some transcending now.
I've heard this song a million times, but never paid attention to the lyrics until today. The jauntiness of the music juxtaposed with the words...damn. Gonna hear this totally differently, now...
You the man! My favorite reactor, because of your ability to connect the music to the lyrics and then our current crazy times. These Days, is an incredible Jackson Browne song that I think you might appreciate.
JACKSON BROWNE IS A MOST MAGNIFICENT LYRICIST....ALWAYS ABOUT SOMETHING REAL. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR/SEE YOUR REACTION TO LIVES IN THE BALANCE,WHOSE LYRICS ARE AS RELEVENT TODAY,AS THEY WERE MANY YEARS AGO.....ALSO,PLEASE,FOR A DANCER AND ROCK ME ON THE WATER...
The Pretender and The Load Out/Stay two of many amazing songs. He also wrote Take It Easy with the help of Glenn Frey of The Eagles who made it a huge hit!
Jamel, his In the Shape of a Heart will bring a tear to your eye, especially when you learn some stuff that's behind it, the Pretender too. A great songwriter, one of the few writers that can write love songs, political songs and socially conscious songs all with equal excellence and his voice is iconic(like James Taylor). Always has great musicians playing with him.
I love when young people listen to the music I grew up with in the late 60's/70's. I hate to sound like an old lady (56 isn't that old, is it?) - but one of my favorites I'd like you to listen to is Earth, Wind & Fire's "September". Talk about feel good song. I think it came in 1978. It's always on my playlist and just makes me happy.
Thank you, thank you for showcasing the incredible Jackson Browne! He is an amazing poet. I’d love to see a collaboration with him and Common, the other amazing poet of our day.
This was my husbands requested song as he passed from this world and from his family and babies... into the next world ... thank you Dennis for continuing to give me signs that you’re near and watching over us❤️🙏🏼.. everything you said Jamel after this song was divinely spoken and you’re a beautiful amazing knot uniting the world through your love, compassion and music. Music heals. I love you and appreciate you so. ... you’re a good man. Thank you 🤗💕
I been to that place Jamel, when my son died suddenly at 34 years old. I can't even cry anymore its so horrible. Love you brother, you make my day many times.
Jackson was a classic singer-songwriter and a lot of the songs were known as confessional songs. That was his forte and the singing and musicianship was very cool. Very good artist and was for years!
"Ready or Not" , "Rosie" and " These Days" on "These Days" my favorite version is one he does with Gregg Allman, who also had a hit with it. The song is from the "Gregg Allman All My Friends " special.
Another couple great Jackson brown songs are “running on empty” and my favorite “the load out” a tribute to all the roadies and people that make the show great. Thanks for all the great times you’ve made me smile and laugh . Peace

Another AWESOME JOB Jamal! Try Redneck Friends by Jackson Browne... FUN song!
Hi Jamel! JACKSON BROWN- LATE FOR THE SKY is one of my desert island albums I would be honored if you gave it a spin.
Jackson Browne 'These Days' ruclips.net/video/WV61WZ2OKmY/видео.html
The older I get the more I understand the meaning of this song. For someone to write a song like this at a young age, amazing.
I first heard this song when I was 16 years old. I felt like Jackson had written it for me. The Vietnam war was winding down with protests in the street. My parents were looking down on the protesters as a bunch of no good hippies that have nothing better to do, and so were most of my friends. All that I could think of were my older than me, but still young neighbors that were drafted and never to come home.
It seemed like to me that I was the only one paying attention.
Hearing this song helped me realize that I was not alone in my thoughts.
"Doctor, my eyes cannot see the sky
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?"
Damn, what a lyric.
I had always thought the lyric was "Is this the price..." but looking up the lyrics online it's listed on multiple sites as "Is this the prize...". Either one works of course. The sense is just slightly different.
@@DaveC01473 I appreciate your thoughts on that - I'll listen carefully to see if I can tell.
My man JB
Prize is better than price because it's more of a sarcastic word that gets the same point across.
It’s “price”. The narrator has paid the price of loss of sight for ignoring what’s going on around him. Like a “Twilight Zone” kinda story set to music.
Jamel, in this uncertain, often ugly time in our country you have been a regular dose of happiness. I am a huge music lover and already know the majority of the songs you review but your enjoyment of them has reopened my eyes and reignited my appreciation for these great artists.
Thank you for your work, your enthusiasm and for making this world a better place!❤️

Amen Nancy E
Nancy E Same here, Kamel brings joy to the world!
So glad someone is finally getting into some Jackson Brown.
Browne
I've been a Jackson Browne fan for half a century! Man, am I old!!!
@Huawei is a criminal organization. Saw his Running On Empty concert in Omaha in 1979.
Sad thing is that he is fast burning through all the best music of the last couple of generations and will eventually be listening to the b sides. Sigh
So nice to hear music meant to touch the soul and heart while entertaining too. NO shouting, easy rhymes, be---tch this MF that, look how much money I've got.
“Somebody’s Baby” by Jackson is a must. Right in your wheelhouse.
Yes! Fast Times at Ridgemont High...
Jennifer Jason Leigh. Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Yes!!!
Then jump into some Warren Zevon. They were close friends. “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” is about Jackson. Start with the obvious. “Werewolves Of London” and my fav, “Lawyers Guns and Money”.
Oh he's gonna LOVE that song!
Jackson might be the most underrated singer songwriter ever I really mean that. He wrote for EVERYONE even at 16 yrs old and ask a lot of the greats of his era that all talk him up he’s incredibly humble but his music speaks for itself.Great video
The Load Out/ Stay is a brilliant Jackson Brown song dedicated to his roadies. I'd love to see you react to it. ❤
The Roadie song
@@troydegroote2165 yup. That's the one

@@allendixon1044 for sure. Let's hope he reacts to this one.
Rocked the 70’s with his music.
Haven't forgotten a word of the song in all these years. He's one of the ones you just don't forget.
Rhiahl don’t recall where my keys are, but recall his song lyrics right away.....
Rhiahl, I haven't heard this in AGES, and darn if you weren't right! I sang right along to even my own surprise. 😆
Thanks, Jamel, great as always. ✌
It's 1972 and I am coming home from fly fishing at Billingsley Creek. The sun is getting low in the west and this song is playing. Each time that it does, I am back in a wonderful time for me...
One of the best singer/songwriters ever. “The Pretender” is my favorite. The entire album is. I had a record player that shut itself off when the record was over. I went to sleep many nights to that album.
Please react to more of his music!
The Pretender is a work of art. If you know the back story you can appreciate it even more.
1tishhead I know.
@@heyjude1920 I think The Fuse may be my favorite JB song.
Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Jackson Browne...that’s the pantheon of writer/performers who wrote great songs over a long period of time
Gary Lloyd I’d include Neil Young, Neil Sedaka, Billy Joel and Neil Diamond. Neil Sedaka, at 83, is still giving mini-concerts, while quarantined, on RUclips.
Jackson Browne! you have my attention!
My favorite Jackson Browne song is: "Tender is the Night." The lyrics can be felt down to your toes.
Andrea Walter 🌟 yes, yes, yes! Love it
Good to shiver to tonight too.
My favorite is a cover, sort of. Load out/stay
@@kyleterrell6842 I love that one too-live version -gives me chills!

JB got arrested many years ago protesting a nuke plant near here.
Wow thanks for sharing that story ☺️
Yes thanks for sharing that story....I've known for decades that JB was a very generous man but didn't know to this extent! That is amazing!
He should tour during pandemics too cuz thats when we need music and healing the most. Screw the risks.. If you dont wanna take any gambles in life hide in your house all day...
That's wonderful to hear.
For me "Running On Empty" and "Load Out" are the next two. His version of "Stay" for me is only okay compared to Maurice Williams version.
The original is so short (a minute and a half or so...?), he would have a treat hearing both. Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs "Stay", followed by Jackson Browne "The Load-Out/Stay".
Yeah, his "Stay" really has to be listened to along with "The Load Out" it's just the coda to that song. Some radio stations in my area used to play "Stay" by itself. It always left me wondering where the rest of the song was.
@@gregsteele806 They were probably playing the 45. Totally agree the songs shouldn't be separated.
load out is awesome

I was in Heaven during the concert and so was he because he said that he was used to doing arenas, but this was the National Arts Center in Ottawa and the acoustics there are fabulous.

Running On Empty should be the next Jackson Browne song followed by Before the Deluge.✌
Before the Deluge is a classic.
I would like to add my vote for more Jackson Browne. He's been a go to for me for 40 years. Thanks.
"These Days" He was 16 when he wrote it. This is like Van Morrison's albums. You can play any song off of "Saturate" and react to it. Also, check out songs from the albums "Late For The Sky" and "Running On Empty"
I have all three on vinyl. Late for the sky is my favorite.
Love "These Days"
Don't forget 'For Everyman' Brilliant, especially the way the songs meld together in such perfection.
@@cynthiajohnson9412 YES! "For Everyman" is my favorite of the bunch! Such a great songwriter and performer!
" These Days " is a must listen if only for David Lindley's lap steel, High Art.
How can someone “NOT” like this song ???
Because taste is subjective.
Finally! One of the great singer songwriters of the 70s and early eighties. Does not get nearly the recognition he deserves. Brilliant, poetic, empathetic, lyrics. With a pretty tight band to back it all up. Jackson represents the thinking man's rock.
Check out 'The Pretender' or 'The Boulevard' next.
I was in high school when this song came out. Great song...I specifically remember hearing it during a make out session I was enjoying with a cheerleader from a rival school....ya, I scored on both fields....great days....
I agree with those that recommend The Pretender. Also deep lyrics. And Late for the Sky. Amazing song writing.
Those 2 albums and this one are my favorites of his. I think he's an amazing songwriter and one of the finest lyricists in rock n roll.
The “Late for the Sky” scene in Taxi Driver where Travis is watching American Bandstand is heartbreaking
Always loved that line:" Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?"
Wow! Wow!
Browne’s songs “For Everyman,” “for a dancer” and “these days.” All so beautiful.
For a Rocker. 😉
You can add Late For The Sky to those songs.
For A Dancer is my favorite song, and I say this as long-time audiophile. Beautiful lyrics.
"Tender is the night" and "The Pretender" too
And “fountain of sorrow”
The face you made after the first verse: Recognition of the level of poetry he's hooked up to.
"Running on empty", "Somebody's baby", "Tender is the night".
Absolutely agree!
There you have it!!!
Jamaica Say You Will
My guilty pleasure song is “Lawyers in Love”. 😁
Sometimes you just sit back and are overwhelmed by awe of a master poet and musician. This song is perfection.
Jackson Browne Rock Me On the Water.
Jackson Browne is America’s best songwriter. He’s nothing less than brilliant.
JACKSON BROWNE ,,,,"LOAD OUT STAY".....A CLASSIC YOU WILL LVE...TRUST ME BROTHER JAMEL!
Jackson Browne is one of the legends of the modern R & R scene. A pioneer who wrote more hits for others than he had himself. One thing for sure, the world will never see another time like the late 60's/early 70's LA music scene. It basically birthed the music you play on your channel.
All my teenage angst wrapped up in one artist. So many nights sitting in the dark listening to his albums.
You’re a breath of fresh air for this grayhair here. I’ve been a music junkie since I got a transistor radio in 1961. It hung on the handlebars on my bike, and on my bedpost at night. I did my homework with the radio playing. It’s been such a big part of my life that every song has a place and time and people connected to it. Music is life!
“Before the Deluge” is a must reaction you will be blessed. Jackson has tons of great stuff
I second that motion and also nominate “Fountain of Sorrow.”
Soooo relevant right now- especially if you relate the lyrics to Covid. Eerily on point, actually.
"Is this the price for having learned how not to cry?" is the key to the lyrics IMO. You can stuff your feelings down and not let them show but eventually it catches up with you.
Jamel, for more Jackson Browne you should check out "Running on Empty" and "Load Out -> Stay". Also I'd suggest Head East "Never Been any Reason"
Flat as a Pancake 🥞🍻🍻
Definitely Load Out/Stay. This live version is great. ruclips.net/video/scsJZ67ssDY/видео.html
yes Head East Never been any reason I second that
“Here come those tears again,” “load out/stay,” and of course “the pretender” are three of my favorites of Jackson Browne but all of his songs are awesome.
What about “To A Dancer”, and “Fountain of Sorrow”?
"Some other time baby
When I'm strong and feeling fine maybe
When I can look at you without crying
You might look like a friend of mine" is one of my favorite lyrics anywhere
Try Jackson Browne .... "Running on Empty" and "Lawyers in Love".
Both great suggestions.
I would sing running on empty when my old Camaro was on E! Thanks to Zedge DOCTOR MY EYES is my doctor's ringtone
Does anyone know grew up in HIGHLAND PARK in Los Angeles I was always told Jackson Browne's grandmother lived there? Love & Happiness to you all
Lawyers is an underrated song that proved Jackson had a sense of humor.
Any song that can incorporate the word "unfurled" is a classic right out of the gate.
I love this song! Jackson is a musical genius. You have got to hear more of his songs! Running On Empty! The Pretender! Rock Me On The Water! Do It Again! So many more!
Won't you soothe my fevered brow....oh yes!
Oh, yeah...Rock Me on the Water!!
Jamel....know your videos DO help us all thru these rough times. Thank You!
Such a well written song, on so many levels. A great intro to Jackson Brown.
The great Leland Sklar on bass...legendary musician with an absolutely insane catalog of work.
Hey Jamel, thanks for doing this classic song. It's hard to believe Jackson was barely 21 when he wrote this song.❤

I saw Jackson in Philly in 80s and 90s - at the Spectrum and the Tower Theater and then took my young son to see him at the academy of music around 2012. He’s been my favorite since I was 12 years old in 1979, as my older brothers had all him albums. Still love him. Discovered Fountain of Sorrow in the early 2000s and that has become my all time favorite (if I’m forced to pick just one!) ❤️❤️❤️
Jackson Browne is right up there with Bob Seger as one of the best "storytellers" in rock and roll...in my personal opinion.
One of the great song writers of our time. I like everything. The year I heard my first Jackson Browne song was the same year I wore a groove into my big 45 of "Rappers Delight" When he was inducted into the Rock and Roll HOF by Bruce Springsteen in 2004. Bruce said this about Jackson Browne's song writing "what draws women to Jackson was they finally heard a guy who knew as much about love as they did, and what drew men to Jackson was that when they listened to Jackson they realized they knew more about love than they thought they did.
He's a poet. That what good song writing is right? it transcends time and place, race and creed and damn don't we all need some transcending now.
I've heard this song a million times, but never paid attention to the lyrics until today. The jauntiness of the music juxtaposed with the words...damn. Gonna hear this totally differently, now...
Same!
Exactly. The upbeat music makes the lyrics more poignant.
Took me years to identify why this song makes me feel like it does.
Same. I can sing along with every word, but never put them together.
I’ve always loved the impact of these words. “It’s later than it seems.”
@@1177kc Yesssss. And "I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good "
"RUNNING ON EMPTY" should be next.
"Somebody's Baby"
"The Pretender"
"The Load Out/Stay"
"Boulevard"
The Load Out/Stay for sure!!!! One of my favorites!
One more vote for The Pretender
Im a drummer and I play all these songs at least once a month so much fun to play too.
"Cocaine"
"I'm Alive"
"All Good Things"
'Rock Me on the Water' is one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs. Do that next
"These Days" is a song he wrote when he was 16. Greg Allman did a version of it on his first solo album and It was Magical.
Iain Matthews also has a wonderful version of "These Days".
Best version - Tom Rush
As far as I'm concerned, this is Jackson Browne's best song.
If you're doing Jackson Browne, you have to check out "here come those tears again". Awesome song!
Great to see you doing some Jackson Browne. What an awesome talent!!
Jackson is a GENIUS. His music always entertains ... And makes you think. Nobody else like him.
those lyrics....”Is this the price for learning how not to cry? “You betcha. What we have ignored and stuffed is coming to light now!
I thought it was having learned how not to try..
trust me PLEASE Learned the HARD WAY IF YOU DO NOT GRIEVE THE RIGHT WAY, IT WILL COME OUT IN WAYS YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU WILL NOT LIKE
Thank you Jamel you have made this mess of a world. Sooo much more joyful. 😀
Love Jackson! Running on Empty is one of my favs.
Just so you know "Running on Empty:" is the one of the best song ever! Jackson Browne is a treasure.
Love Jackson Browne :) his performance of "For A Dancer" at the old grey whistle test is one of the most moving performances i ever saw

Great great song - thanks, I’ve not heard the old grey whistle test performance
Another one that I liked before I saw your reaction. Love Jackson Browne!
Jackson Browne’s “Lives in the Balance” Difficult leaders, different wars but the same old stories. We need to come together in peace.
I love this song. Crank that up!!!!
Jackson Browne is forever my love! 😍 His songs "Here Come Those Tears Again" & " These Days" are beautiful heartbreakers~
The Load Out/Stay is my favorite JB song.
love leland sklar,s bass playing outstanding
Jackson Brown Love! Love your shirt too BTW(:
So glad you're checking out Jackson.He's so good but often overlooked.
You the man! My favorite reactor, because of your ability to connect the music to the lyrics and then our current crazy times. These Days, is an incredible Jackson Browne song that I think you might appreciate.
One of the best storytellers and great friends with the Eagles when they got started.
I believe Jackson is the subject of Desperado
JACKSON BROWNE IS A MOST MAGNIFICENT LYRICIST....ALWAYS ABOUT SOMETHING REAL. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR/SEE YOUR REACTION TO LIVES IN THE BALANCE,WHOSE LYRICS ARE AS RELEVENT TODAY,AS THEY WERE MANY YEARS AGO.....ALSO,PLEASE,FOR A DANCER AND ROCK ME ON THE WATER...
The Pretender and The Load Out/Stay two of many amazing songs. He also wrote Take It Easy with the help of Glenn Frey of The Eagles who made it a huge hit!
Thank you, Jamel! I love your reactions and your deep appreciation of music. You truly do brighten my days! ♡
Jamel, his In the Shape of a Heart will bring a tear to your eye, especially when you learn some stuff that's behind it, the Pretender too. A great songwriter, one of the few writers that can write love songs, political songs and socially conscious songs all with equal excellence and his voice is iconic(like James Taylor). Always has great musicians playing with him.
Jackson Browne just takes me right back to the Seventies in my mind. Great voice, great lyrics, great songs!
I love when young people listen to the music I grew up with in the late 60's/70's. I hate to sound like an old lady (56 isn't that old, is it?) - but one of my favorites I'd like you to listen to is Earth, Wind & Fire's "September". Talk about feel good song. I think it came in 1978. It's always on my playlist and just makes me happy.
Yessssssss!!!!!!
One of my favorite songs ever, you can listen to this song a million times and it still never gets old. Jackson Browne's songs are all good.
'"Before the Deluge" is a must. Lots if great Jackson Browne tunes.
Thank you, thank you for showcasing the incredible Jackson Browne! He is an amazing poet. I’d love to see a collaboration with him and Common, the other amazing poet of our day.
The Load Out/Stay!
This was my husbands requested song as he passed from this world and from his family and babies... into the next world ... thank you Dennis for continuing to give me signs that you’re near and watching over us❤️🙏🏼.. everything you said Jamel after this song was divinely spoken and you’re a beautiful amazing knot uniting the world through your love, compassion and music. Music heals. I love you and appreciate you so. ... you’re a good man. Thank you 🤗💕
You're holding us all together with the music jamel
Thank you so much for doing this artist! That is the magic of Jackson Browne - great music with thought provoking lyrics. Bless you Jamel!
"Rock Me on the Water" and "These Days" are a couple of really great songs by Jackson Browne to check out.
I been to that place Jamel, when my son died suddenly at 34 years old. I can't even cry anymore its so horrible. Love you brother, you make my day many times.
Sorry for your loss 💐
Jackson Browne is easily one of the top 10 songwriters in contemporary music. Please react to These Days and Your Bright Baby Blues.
I love the joy on your face when you’re breaking down this amazing jam
Running on empty. A great song that always gets me in my feels. The lyrics go way deep for me.
Jackson was a classic singer-songwriter and a lot of the songs were known as confessional songs. That was his forte and the singing and musicianship was very cool. Very good artist and was for years!
Gene Maurillo
Still is.
@@artprince9163 yes in some ways you are correct.
"Ready or Not" , "Rosie" and " These Days" on "These Days" my favorite version is one he does with Gregg Allman, who also had a hit with it. The song is from the "Gregg Allman All My Friends " special.
Another couple great Jackson brown songs are “running on empty” and my favorite “the load out” a tribute to all the roadies and people that make the show great. Thanks for all the great times you’ve made me smile and laugh . Peace
Running on EMPTY WHOLE album is a classic
