In many ways, Jackson Browne was the quintessential sensitive California singer/songwriter of the early '70s.
Only Joni Mitchell and James Taylor ranked alongside him in terms of influence, but neither artist tapped
into the post-'60s Zeitgeist like Browne. While the majority of his classic '70s work was unflinchingly
personal, it nevertheless provided a touchstone for a generation of maturing baby boomers coming
to terms with adulthood. Not only did his introspective, literate lyrics strike a nerve, but his laid-back folk-rock
set the template for much of the music to come out of California during the '70s. With his first four albums,
Browne built a loyal following that helped him break into the mainstream with 1976's The Pretender.
During the late '70s and early '80s, he was at the height of his popularity,
as each of his albums charted in the Top Ten...
"JACKSON BROWNE"
[Over the years, the phrase "Saturate Before Using" in the album's front cover art has lent itself as a commonly used nickname for the album, to the point where official CD reissues actually bear the alternate title "Saturate Before Using"]

One of the reasons that Jackson Browne's first album is among the most auspicious debuts in pop music history is that it doesn't sound like a debut. Although only 23, Browne had kicked around the music business for several years, writing and performing as a member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and as Nico's backup guitarist, among other gigs, while many artists recorded his material. So, if this doesn't sound like someone's first batch of songs, it's not. Browne had developed an unusual use of language, studiedly casual yet full of striking imagery, and a post-apocalyptic viewpoint to go with it. He sang with a calm certainty over spare, discretely placed backup -- piano, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, congas, violin, harmony vocals -- that highlighted the songs and always seemed about to disappear. In song after song, Browne described the world as a desert in need of moisture, and this wet/dry dichotomy carried over into much of the imagery...(AllMusic)
