“The Drums of War” by Jackson Browne, Mark Goldenberg, Kevin McCormick, Mauricio Lewak and Jeff Young appears on the Jackson Browne album, Time, the Conqueror (2008).
This is a political protest song, a staple throughout Browne’s career. Although he’s now 40 years older than when he released “Doctor My Eyes”, his righteousness is as strong now as it was then. Here he takes on the George W. Bush administration and its zeal for the Second Iraq War.
Browne tells about how the song came about in this Rolling Stone interview.
