Thanks for the suggestions, Jedey. I definitely will want to listen to more of Jackson Browne's songs.

Hmm. Good question.
By singer-songwriters, I meant musicians who write, compose and sing their own musical material including lyrics and melodies, often providing the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano. (Definition taken from wikipedia.)
Yet I also think of singer-songwriters as those who create all the musical scores for bandmates, and then perform with them, playing their own instrument and singing the main vocal solo.
So, the definition I'm using for singer-songwriter is a musician who composes the lyrics and all (or most) of the music being played for a song, plus sings the song...but bandmates may play instruments to accompany him or her and may sing backup vocals.

I'd never heard this song before...but I realized I do know of Nick Lowe, since I know and like this song co-written by Lowe and his former bandmate Ian Gomm:
Nick Lowe - "Cruel to be Kind"
