===Songwriter for others===
After graduating from high school Browne joined the [[Nitty Gritty Dirt Band]], performing at the [[Golden Bear (nightclub)|Golden Bear]] in [[Huntington Beach, California]], where they opened for [[the Lovin' Spoonful]]. Later the band recorded a number of Browne's songs, including "These Days", "Holding", and "Shadow Dream Song".<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/jackson-browne/biography |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130113213909/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/jackson-browne/biography |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 13, 2013 |title=Jackson Browne Biography |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=February 17, 2016}}</ref> He was in his friend [[Pamela Polland]]'s band, Gentle Soul for a short time.

He left the Dirt Band after a few months and moved to [[Greenwich Village]], New York, where he became a staff writer for [[Elektra Records|Elektra]]'s publishing company, Nina Music, before he was eighteen. He reported on musical events in [[New York City]] with his friends Greg Copeland and Adam Saylor. For the remainder of 1967 and also 1968 he was in Greenwich Village, where he backed [[Tim Buckley]] and singer [[Nico]] of the [[Velvet Underground]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Luhrssen |first1=David |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=phsIDgAAQBAJ |title=Encyclopedia of Classic Rock |last2=Larson |first2=Michael |date=2017-02-24 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-1-4408-3514-8 |language=en}}</ref> In 1967, Browne and Nico were romantically linked; he became a significant contributor to her debut album, ''[[Chelsea Girl (album)|Chelsea Girl]]'', writing and playing guitar on several of the songs (including "[[These Days (Jackson Browne song)|These Days]]"). In 1968, following his breakup with Nico, Browne returned to Los Angeles, where he formed a folk band with [[Ned Doheny]] and Jack Wilce. This is when he first met [[Glenn Frey]].

Browne's first songs, such as "Shadow Dream Song" and "These Days", were recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, [[Tom Rush]], Nico, Steve Noonan, [[Gregg Allman]], [[Joan Baez]], the [[Eagles (band)|Eagles]], [[Linda Ronstadt]], [[the Byrds]], [[Iain Matthews]], and others. Browne did not release his own versions of these early songs until years later. Soon ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' mentioned Browne as a "new face to look for" and praised his "mind-boggling melodies".<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Folk You |first=John J. |last=Rock |url=http://archive.rollingstone.com/Desktop?s=196804063#/19680406/8 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130412123403/http://archive.rollingstone.com/Desktop?s=196804063#/19680406/8 |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 12, 2013 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |access-date=August 8, 2012}}</ref>

===Classic period===
[[File:JacksonBrowne 1976.jpg|thumb|left|Browne during a 1976 concert in [[Hamburg]], Germany]]
In 1971, Browne signed with his manager [[David Geffen]]'s [[Asylum Records]] and released ''[[Jackson Browne (album)|Jackson Browne]]'' (1972)<!-- Please note this album is not called "Saturate Before Using", which is a misapplication of the cover art. See album's page for more information. --> produced and engineered by Richard Orshoff, which included the piano-driven "[[Doctor My Eyes]]", which entered the Top Ten in the [[Billboard Hot 100|US singles chart]]. "[[Rock Me on the Water]]", from the same album, also gained considerable [[FM broadcasting|radio airplay]], while "[[Jamaica Say You Will (song)|Jamaica Say You Will]]" and "[[Song for Adam]]" (written about his friend Adam Saylor's death) helped establish Browne's reputation. Touring to promote the album, he shared the bill with [[Linda Ronstadt]] and [[Joni Mitchell]].

His next album, ''[[For Everyman]]'' (1973) garnered good reviews but was less successful than his debut, although it still sold a million copies<ref name="TS">{{cite web |url=http://tsort.info/music/x7vrb3.htm |title=Album artist 238 – Jackson Browne |website=Tsort.info |access-date=January 17, 2014}}</ref> and included his version of "[[Take It Easy]]", cowritten with the Eagles' Glenn Frey, which had already been a major success for the group.

''[[Late for the Sky]]'' (1974) consolidated Browne's fan base, and the album peaked at No. 14.<ref name="TS"/><ref>Paris, Russ. [http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/lfts.html Jackson Browne Discography ''Late for the Sky''.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420232833/http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/lfts.html |date=April 20, 2012}}</ref> He gained a reputation for memorable melody, insightful, often personal lyrics, and a talent for his arrangements in composition.  The title track was featured in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s film ''[[Taxi Driver]]''. During this period, Browne began his fractious professional relationship with [[Warren Zevon]], producing Zevon's first two Asylum albums. [[File:Jackson Browne-1980.jpg|thumb|upright|Browne in 1980]]
Browne was accompanied on tour by his wife and their infant son. They travelled in a converted [[Greyhound Lines|Greyhound]] bus.{{sfn|Bego|2005|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=TSoOOD-MidAC&pg=PA88 88]}} In 1975, Browne toured variously with the [[Eagles (band)|Eagles]], [[Linda Ronstadt]], and [[Toots and the Maytals]].<ref>{{cite web |title=A Jackson Browne Concert Chronology |website=The Road & The Sky |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712034127/http://www.ghostsontheroad.co.uk/JB/1975.html |url=http://www.ghostsontheroad.co.uk/JB/1975.html |archive-date=2011-07-12}}</ref>

Browne's next album, ''[[The Pretender (album)|The Pretender]]'', was released in 1976, after his wife's suicide.  A year later, "[[Here Come Those Tears Again]]", co-written with his mother-in-law, Nancy Farnsworth, hit No. 23 on the pop singles chart.  The follow-up album, ''[[Running on Empty (album)|Running on Empty]]'' (1977), recorded entirely on tour, became his biggest commercial success. Breaking the usual conventions for a live album, Browne used only new material and combined live concert performances with recordings made on buses, in hotel rooms, and backstage.<ref>{{cite web |first=William |last=Ruhlmann |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/running-on-empty-mw0000193103 |title=Running on Empty – Jackson Browne &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=February 17, 2016}}</ref> ''Running on Empty'' contains some of his most popular songs, including the title track and "[[The Load-Out]]/[[Stay (Maurice Williams song)|Stay]]", Browne's send-off to concert audiences and tribute to his roadies.

===Activism and music===
In spring of 1978, Browne appeared near a nuclear reprocessing plant in [[Barnwell, South Carolina]], to perform a free concert the night before a civil disobedience action; he did not participate in the action. In June 1978 he performed on the grounds of the [[Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant]] construction site in [[New Hampshire]] for 20,000 opponents of the reactor.<ref>{{cite web |last=Wasserman |first=Harvey |url=http://www.nukefree.org/news/jacksonbrowneoncolbert |title=Jackson Browne Nails Nuke Power on Colbert |website=NukeFree.org |year=2008 |access-date=February 17, 2016}}</ref>

Shortly after the [[Three Mile Island accident|Three Mile Island nuclear accident]], during March 1979, Browne joined with several musician friends to found the [[anti-nuclear|antinuclear]] organization [[Musicians United for Safe Energy]].<ref name="aol"/> He was arrested while protesting against the [[Diablo Canyon Power Plant]] near [[San Luis Obispo]]. His next album, ''[[Hold Out]]'' (1980), was commercially successful and his only number 1 record on the [[Billboard 200|U.S. pop albums chart]]. In 1982, he released the single "[[Somebody's Baby]]" from the ''[[Fast Times at Ridgemont High]]'' soundtrack, which became his biggest hit, peaking at number 7 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. The 1983 ''[[Lawyers in Love]]'' followed, signaling a change in lyrics from the personal to the political. In 1985, he duetted with [[Clarence Clemons]] on "[[You're a Friend of Mine]]".

[[Political protest]] featured in Browne's 1986 album, ''[[Lives in the Balance]]'', explicitly condemning U.S. policy in Central America. Flavored with new instrumental textures, it was a huge success with fans, although less so with mainstream audiences. The title track was used at several points in the award-winning 1987 [[PBS]] documentary, ''The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis,'' by journalist [[Bill Moyers]].

During the 1980s, Browne performed frequently at benefits for causes he supported, including [[Farm Aid]], [[Amnesty International]] (making several appearances on the 1986 [[A Conspiracy of Hope]] tour), post-[[Somoza]] revolutionary Nicaragua, and the [[Christic Institute]]. The album ''[[World in Motion (album)|World in Motion]]'', released in 1989, contains a cover of [[Steven Van Zandt]]'s "I am a Patriot".

Browne also performed alongside [[Roy Orbison]] in ''[[Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night|A Black and White Night]]'' in 1988 along with [[Bruce Springsteen]] and [[k.d. lang]], among others.

===1990s===

Browne wrote and recorded the song "The Rebel Jesus" with [[the Chieftains]] for their 1991 Christmas album ''[[The Bells of Dublin]]''. In 1993, Browne released ''[[I'm Alive (Jackson Browne album)|I'm Alive]]'', a critically acclaimed album with a more personal style that did respectable business despite lacking a hit single. In 1994 he collaborated with [[Kathy Mattea]] on "[[Rock Me on the Water]]" for an AIDS benefit album ''[[Red Hot + Country]]'' produced by the [[Red Hot Organization]].<ref name="jrp-graphics.com">{{cite web |first=Russell |last=Paris |url=http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/jbbio.html |title=Jackson Browne – Biography |website=Jrp-graphics.com |access-date=October 9, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111102144332/http://www.jrp-graphics.com/jb/jbbio.html |archive-date=November 2, 2011}}</ref>

He sang a duet in 1995 with [[Jann Arden]], "Unloved", on her album ''[[Living Under June]]''. Browne's own album, ''[[Looking East]]'' (1996), was released soon after, but was unsuccessful commercially.<ref name="jrp-graphics.com"/>

He guested as himself in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "[[Brake My Wife, Please]]" in 2003, performing a parody of his song "[[Rosie (Jackson Browne song)|Rosie]]" with lyrics altered to reference the plot.

In 2003, three of his albums, ''[[For Everyman]]'', ''[[Late for the Sky]]'', and ''[[The Pretender (album)|The Pretender]]'', were selected by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' on its list of the 500 best albums of all time.  In 2004, Browne was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]]. [[Bruce Springsteen]] gave the induction speech, commenting to Browne that although the Eagles were inducted first, "You wrote the songs they wished they had written."<ref>Paris, Russ.
