Jackson Browne: running on full at Britt | MailTribune.com

Jackson Browne: running on full at Britt | MailTribune.com: "Jackson Browne opened his first Britt show in over a decade with Warren Zevon and Carl Hiaasen's arch 'Seminole Bingo,' of all things, a 1995 number that could be ripped from today's headlines. That was after Browne remarked on the absence of chainsaws, a reference to the timber industry supporters that greeted him and Bonnie Raitt by revving the snarling tools of the trade throughout the environmental benefit the two singers put on that night.

Browne, still trim and boyish at 61, was joined at the top of the show by old pal and guitarist (and all things stringed) extraordinaire David Lindley, for a warm, acoustic set. The two men have collaborated for almost four decades. Lindley played on 1973's 'For Everyman' and other Browne classics including 'Late For The Sky' and 'The Pretender.' Browne, in turn, produced Lindley's best-known album, 1983's 'El Rayo-X.' They show little or no signs of slowing down."
