For those of us who came of age listening to Jackson Browne, word of a new album is pretty exciting. And this time, it won't be a solo acoustic live album, like the last two. Mr. Browne's 17th album will be released Sept. 23, but it marks the first time his own label (Inside Recordings) has featured a Jackson Browne studio album, presumably with his full and very able band backing him up. His last album for long-time label Elektra was The Very Best of Jackson Browne, a compilation released in 2004. His last album of new material for Elektra was The Naked Ride Home, released in 2002. Since then, he has recorded Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1 and Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2 for Inside Recordings, the label he founded. He was, of course, part of the original stable of artists on Asylum Records, which was co-founded by the legendary David Geffen in 1971. Mr. Browne then moved on to Elektra, which merged the Asylum artists into its own portfolio. In its heyday, the Asylum lineup was nothing short of amazing. In addition to Mr. Browne, other name acts included the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits and Warren Zevon, and these were all young performers when Asylum began recording them. Mr. Browne's new record is titled Time the Conqueror. So, does the title have anything to do with the fact that he turns 60 later this year?
