I'm bringing you today a song that takes me wayyyy back (well, maybe not so wayy back) but back to high school. Lots of good memories, lots of great music. I don't know about you but I just can't get into today's music. I suppose it has a lot to do with the music with which we associate great times of our life. I remember my mother-in-law one time saying that her favorite music was 'big band music'. I was like, 'Whhaaat?' But now I get it. That was time in her life that she has great memories from.
So, today, I'm bringing you 'Doctor, My Eyes' by Jackson Browne. It was written and performed by Jackson Browne in 1972, on his debut album Jackson Browne. The song made it to number 8 on Top 100 Billboard for 1972 and became a concert mainstay for Browne.
Here's an interesting fact: David Crosby and Graham Nash sang backup vocals. Not too bad, huh?
Glenn Frey (of The Eagles fame) would tell the story of listening to Jackson working on the song for months at a time in his apartment. You see, Frey had an apartment next door and could hear him through the walls at work every single morning for..months. I find it intriguing how so many young artists paths crossed as they found their way to stardom.
Browne was holding a concert relatively close to where I live and I had heard he was introducing some 'new' music he had written. Maybe I'm stuck in a rut, but I want to hear classic Jackson Browne!
Hope you enjoy 'Doctor My Eyes' by Jackson Browne.
Peace and all good things.
