This was another one of those day trip/come back at 3 am shows I did in Nashville. Lots of fun back then, but I am too old for that sort of thing now.
John Hiatt had just put out his "Perfectly Good Guitar" album, which is one of my all time favorites. It is a great, solid album, and even at that time, I had really worn out my CD copy. Its good stuff. I especially like the song, "Buffalo River Home" on that one. Hiatt played a lot of songs from that album that night, and he was easily one of my all time favorite opening acts.
Oddly, this has been the only time I have ever been able to catch Browne. Most of my other favorites (Don Henley, 10,000 Maniacs, and Equation) I have been able to catch multiple times.
AND Jackson Browne is simply one of my all time favorites. Probably my all time favorite, depending on which day you ask me. I was so excited about seeing Jackson, and I really enjoyed seeing him live. He had just put out his "I'm Alive" album, which was great too.
I remember "discovering" Jackson Browne's music in my teens. I would hear him a lot on the classic rock stations, and ask my friends who came up in the 70s who it was. "Jackson Browne" was starting to become a pretty common answer.
Back during my college days, Best Buy became the place to go for CDs. They were well stocked, and you could find a lot of cool older stuff. Anytime I had a few extra bucks, I would go to Best Buy and buy one of Jacksons CDs that I didn't already have. I knew whichever one it was, it was going to be good. His album "The Pretender" is probably my all time favorite album.
