ABOUT THE RECORD Jackson Browne, the self-titled debut album of singer Jackson Browne peaked on the Billboard 200 chart at No. 53. Two singles were released with Doctor My Eyes peaking at No. 8 on the Pop Singles chart and Rock Me On the Water reaching No. 48. Browne had been having minor success as a songwriter but was still unable to obtain his own recording contract. He sent a demo of Jamaica Say You Will to David Geffen in early 1970 and Geffen began looking for a record deal for Browne. Geffen ended up founding his own label, Asylum Records, instead and signing Browne. The album was certified as a Gold record in 1976 and Platinum in 1997 by the RIAA. The album is often mistakenly called Saturate Before Using, because the words appear on the album cover, which was designed to look like a water bag that would require saturation in order to cool its contents by evaporation. For this very reason, Asylum Records executives suggested to no avail that the words be removed from the album cover and nearly rejected the cover art outright. However, the initial pressings not only included the text, but the cover carried a burlap-like feel to further the water bag theme. A reviewer on allmusic.com said, "Like any great artist, Browne articulated the tenor of his times. But the album has long since come to seem a timeless collection of reflective ballads touching on still-difficult subjects -- suicide (explicitly), depression and drug use (probably), spiritual uncertainty and desperate hope -- all in calm, reasoned tones, and all with an amazingly eloquent sense of language. Jackson Browne's greater triumph is that, having perfectly expressed its times, it transcended those times as well."
