His new album “Standing in the Breach” shows he has not given up the struggle. Gun control, bankers’ greed and environmental destruction are all targets for his ire.
“You don’t know why/but you still try/for the world you wish to see,” he sings on the title track.
But there’s also plenty of room for other matters on the album, which Rolling Stone magazine called “superb, inspiring”.
“It’s pretty hard to look at what’s going on in the world and not make some reference to what’s happening politically because it affects us all so much,” Browne told Reuters.
“Songs are a good place to express your beliefs, your hopes, or for that matter your doubts.”
He was speaking at the start of a European tour which includes a sell-out date at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
