Jackson Browne--Doctor My Eyes (1972)

     Jackson Browne had been writing since the mid-60's. He was well known with other songwriters in and around the New York area, and then later, southern California
      Browne signed a songwriting contract with Electra Records on his 18th birthday, and five years later (1971) was rewarded with a record deal. The first album ("Jackson Browne" in 1972), caught the attention of music critics and the public, driven by the single, "Doctor My Eyes". It was his highest charting single until "Somebody's Baby" in 1982. The world weariness of his lyrics was evident from the beginning, but coming so closely after the turbulence of the 60's and early 70's, it struck a chord for so many and put into words the view of many who just wanted to shut out the previous 5 years.
