Jackson Browne: Jackson Browne (2023 Remaster)

by Doug Collette
December 2, 2023

It was only a matter of time until Jackson Browne turned his attention to an archival endeavor devoted to his self-titled debut album. Having plumbed the vault for his masterwork, Late For The Sky (Inside Recordings, 2014), then a re-release of his most commercially-successful record, Running On Empty (Inside Recordings, 2019) five years later, he may have been saving what he considers his best for last (unless and until he turns his attention to his brilliant sophomore outing For Everyman ...

Jackson Browne: Running On Empty: 2019 Remaster

by Doug Collette
September 14, 2019

There is no other album quite like Running On Empty in Jackson Browne's discography. But then, there may be no other album comparable in contemporary rock: it is an absolutely unflinching portrait of an artist looking for a connection to the muse and only fleetingly establishing one. In a sense, this 1977 album resides at the opposite end of the creative spectrum from the masterwork Late For The Sky (Asylum,1974) wherein this archetypal singer/songwriter captured an early peak of excellence ...

Recorded over five nights of concerts in Spain during March of 2006, this double-CD reunites Browne and Lindley, who collaborated as band mates during most of the seventies and ...

Jackson Browne should have opened his two-set performance with “I'm Alive," closed it with “Running On Empty," and encored with the much-requested “Redneck Friend." In so doing he'd have effectively avoided the pedestrian moments early in the first set ("Boulevard," “Tender is the Night") and framed his entire show in such a way as to highlight the mix of new and old material.
