Live music review: Jackson Browne at Vicar Street
Jackson Browne is the original LA troubadour. In the early 1970s, the whiskey-voiced crooner was at the centre of the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter scene, his confessional ballads creating the bittersweet template James Taylor, The Eagles and others would later embrace as their own.
Forty years on, he continues to cut a charmingly enigmatic figure. Four sell-out nights at Vicar Street testify to his popularity, with the audience mouthing the words to even the most obscure lyric and peppering the laconic 69-year-old with song requests.
