Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne's 14th album, 'Standing in the Breach,' will be released on Oct. 7.

The mid-to-late '80s found Jackson Browne drifting away from the confessional folk-rock balladry of his early years and into more politically charged material, much to a portion of his fanbase's despair. But for his 10th album, 'I'm Alive,' he had more personal concerns in mind.

As Jackson Browne prepared to release his sixth studio album, the singer-songwriter was at the peak of his pop success. His previous LP, 1980’s ‘Hold Out,’ was Browne’s first (and only) album to hit #1 on the Billboard charts. Plus, he had scored his biggest hit single with 1982’s ‘Somebody’s Baby,’ featured on the soundtrack to ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High.’

Do you want to see some live music this week? There are definitely a lot of options around the area. Coming up tonight, November 12, at the Boulder Theater, legendary blues man, B. B. King is playing.
