Jackson Browne has just been added to Bluesfest just hours after the festival organisers announced Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher and The Decemberists.
Browne last played Bluesfest 10 years.
Jackson Browne released his first album ‘Jackson Browne’ in 1972. It featured his hit song ‘Doctor My Eyes’, also a hit for the Jackson 5 and ‘Jamaica Say You Will’, covered later by Joe Cocker.
The second Jackson Browne album ‘For Everyman’ (1973) included Browne’s ‘Take It Easy’, co-written with his flatmate at the time, Glenn Frey of the Eagles. The song also became one of Eagles greatest hits.
Browne’s biggest album came in 1977. ‘Running On Empty’ sold over 7 million copies in the USA.
His most recent album ‘Standing In The Breach’ was released in 2014. It was his 14th studio album.
Bluesfest is March 24 to 28 in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
