Perception and reality are seldom identical, but in the case of Josh Brown the contrast was particularly distinct.
Back in the late 1990s Brown and his band Full Devil Jacket were on the upswing. Channeling the energy and angst that put Nirvana, Soundgarden and some of Seattle’s biggest bands on the map, Brown was leaving his mark as well. A record deal with Island/Def Jam Records, tours with Creed and Nickelback, life was seemingly very good indeed.
