(2005)"The Very Best of Jackson Browne" is a double-disc
compilation album byJackson Browne , released onMarch 16 ,2004 byRhino Entertainment andElektra Records in celebration of Browne's induction into theRock and Roll Hall of Fame a day earlier.1997's earlier Browne collection, "", while competent, had been missing many essential songs by the singer-songwriter, such as "Rock Me on the Water" and "Stay". Thus, "The Very Best of Jackson Browne" is seen by many as the more complete of the two.
Disc 1 encompasses the material from Jackson Browne's early career (1972 - 1977) and Disc 2 contains the material from his later years (1977 - 2002).
