Jackson Browne wrote "Your Bright Baby Blues" on his own, sings lead and plays acoustic guitar on it, and it lives on The Pretender, his fourth album, released in 1976 with Jon Landau in the producer's chair. Check the company he kept: Lowell George on slide guitar and backing vocals, Roy Bittan on piano, Bill Payne on organ, Chuck Rainey on bass and Jim Gordon on drums. John Haeny recorded it and Greg Ladanyi mixed.
The Pretender came out after the suicide of Browne's first wife, Phyllis Major, though only one of its songs, "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate", was written after her death. Landau gave the album a spread of styles, and with a band like this one behind him, Browne had every color he could want.
