Customer Reviews

Lovin' Life

Although some parts of this book were wordy, overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book enabled me to see more in to the life of Jackson Browne, and to understand more of what he is about. I know it was not an approved biography. After reading it I'm not sure why he disapproved as I did not find it derogatory in any way! Interesting and a good read overall.

A Great Biography about a Man who wants no Publicity

This is a great historical review of his life and music with many facts to learn. I recently attended a small political fundraiser where Jackson Browne and J. D. Souther played a few songs in the living room of a home. Having always loved his music particularly his newer album, "the Naked Ride Home", I bought this book to learn more about this complicated man and this book does not disappoint. My one complaint is the packaging of the book. This is not a typical book size but rather like a large song book. And, with the "cheesy" cover art, not the kind of book you want to travel with. That aside, if you want to learn as much as you can about the very private Jackson Browne, this is the bible and I recommend it.

Thumbs up!!!

Excellent overview of the life and times of Jackson Browne

This book is a comprehensive look into the life of Jackson Browne, from the time of his grandfather to about 1980. I found it very complete, and fascinating reading. This is a must have for any fan of Jackson's! I learned a lot of great facts about Jackson's life, and gained an interest in his history and the history of his ancestors.
