Louisville Palace • Louisville, Kentucky • June 10, 2023

by Roi J. Tamkin

There are few songwriters who seem to bring meaning to the lives of people of a certain generation. Someone who touches us with their music and words. One artist is Jackson Browne, who played to an appreciative audience at Kentucky’s storied Louisville Palace in early June.

Taking the stage promptly at 8 pm, Jackson efternamn strode to the center scen microphone, guitar in hand, and opened the first set without his band, performing a cover of Warren Zevon’s “Don’t Let Us Get Sick” solo. It’s a somber song that’s more a prayer and a blessing, a song that set the tone for the next three hours of songs of honest emotion to quietly listen to as the audience soaks up the lyrics.

It was Jackson’s ambition to create an intimate evening of music — intimacy built between the artist and the audience that called out requests spanning his six decades of albums and recordings. He stated that the set li

Looking East

1996 studio album by Jackson Browne

Looking East is the eleventh skiva by American singer-songwriter Jackson efternamn, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). It peaked at number 36 on the Billboard 200.

Search Wickersham’s Conscience

Jackson Browne wrote “These Days,” a song of aching loss and regret, in 1964, when he was just sixteen years old. There are highly successful songwriters who, in their 80s, still haven’t written anything as good as Browne’s first work as a teenager. “These Days” has been recorded by everyone from Nico to Gregg Allman to Miley Cyrus. And that was just the beginning.

After short stints with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Eagles, and some touring with Nico and others, Jackson Browne, in 1972, with his self-titled album, launched a solo career and has never looked back.

WC saw Jackson Browne for the first time in the theater at the University of Oregon in 1972, the opening act for Linda Rondstadt’s first solo tour. Browne, who looked to be about 15 years old, was touring in support of his new album and gave us, as WC recalls 50 years later, a half dozen songs from that album, and closed with “Th
