Product Description
Presenting twelve songs culled from Browne's extensive and critically acclaimed solo acoustic concerts around the world over the past few years, the disc also captures both spirited and humorous exchanges between Jackson and his audiences, making for a truly intimate listening experience. This new comp, produced by Browne and Paul Dieter, is Jackson's first live release since his 1977 multi-platinum "Running On Empty" album. It also marks the recording debut of a three decades old track, "The Birds Of St. Marks", not previously released in any form. "Solo Acoustic" reaches back to Browne's early years with "These Days" and "Take It Easy", and spans his entire career with other highlights such as "Fountain Of Sorrow", "For Everyman", "The Pretender", and "Looking East". A stirring version of "Lives In The Balance", the title track from Jackson's powerful 1986 album, will be this record's lead single.
About the Artist
Over the course of more than three decades, Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music. With classic albums including Late For The Sky, The Pretender, Running On Empty, and For Everyman, and songs like "Doctor My Eyes," "Rock Me On The Water," and "Lives In The Balance," he has defined a genre of songwriting that is charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. Along the way, he has touched the hearts and minds of countless fans worldwide.
Jacksons artistry was recognized with his 2004 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the honor eloquently delivered by friend and fellow Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen. He also received in 2004 an honorary Doctorate of Music from Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice."

I must first commend Jackson on his courage. Few major artistes are brave enough to expose themselves and their musicianship in a live, solo effort. There is no backing band, no backup vocalists, and no studio gimmickry to cover mistakes. It's just the performer and his audience. This has to be the toughest type of performance, and Jackson nails it.
Browne is a superb communicator, keeping his audience riveted to his music, and entertained between songs with his funny stories and off-handed quips. Browne gives his all to his audience, and the audience loves him back. The energy is palpable.
This CD has not left my changer since it first arrived. I've played it almost every day for the past month, and each time I find something new to enjoy. There are so many great tracks, that picking one song isn't easy, but my current favorite is Fountain of Sorrow, with its sensitive interweaving of romantic illusion and reality.
Having recently suffered bereavement, of special significance to me is, For a Dancer, a song about death. The words resonate with me as I consider the loved one I lost, and the inevitability of my own death, "...in the end there is one dance you'll do alone."
Browne's versatility on both piano and guitar is impressive. His piano work on tracks like Birds of St. Marks, Fountain of Sorrow, and For a Dancer is soulful and understated, while his playing on bottle-neck and regular guitar shows that even after thirty years, the brother still has his chops. While his voice betrays hints of the weathering of age, it exhibits a richness and depth of expression that often accompanies artistic maturity.
This magnificent set concludes with a rocking rendition of one of Browne's most popular songs, Take it Easy. Having grown up with the Eagles' recording of this classic, Browne's rendition is my new favorite.
My only criticism of this CD is the absence of liner notes. When and where did these performances take place, and what's the background to these songs? We'd certainly like to know. That aside, this CD was worth every penny, and I can't wait for Volume 2.
Having read a biography of him it was noted that his stage banter was weak. Not at this show. He is funny and engaging discussing missing lyrics as he sings.
If you want a singer/songwriter acoustic masterpiece, buy this and listen repeatedly. Simply brillant!
This most recent CD contains wonderful acoustic versions of some of Jackson's masterpieces, including "These Days", "Your Bright Baby Blues" and "Fountain of Sorrow." For me, the absolutely killer app, as they say, has to be the previously unrecorded "Birds of St. Marks." It's a stunner and will always remind me of bracing morning walks along the Atlantic coast in Cornwall where, iPod in tow, I listened to that song over and over and over again.
I also really love JB's intros. He's funny and sweet and natural. I would expect nothing less, to be honest.
This is a must-have for all collections.

Einige Anekdoten zwischen den Stücken bieten sogar den einen oder anderen Lacher.

私の好きな RUNNING ON EMPTY (1977) から選曲されていないのが残念です。
It's a justifiable simplification to say that JB's first five albums are the best known, and seven of the twelve songs on this album originate from those albums. These new live versions are beautiful, and give a refreshing new take on classics such as 'For a Dancer' and 'These Days'. Other tracks - such as the beautiful 'The Birds of St Marks' - are less well known, but are invariably excellent. Tracks like 'For Everyman' were first recorded more than thirty years ago, but sound just as good (or perhaps even better; certainly different) here. JB's vocals are just as good as ever.
This is a beautiful live set which any admirer of Jackson Browne's work will enjoy again and again.
もう、28年も経つの?と半信半疑だったが、時は確実に流れているし、顔の皺もぐっと増えた
「彼」と「彼女」と、そして「私」が現実にいるのだから仕方がない。
色褪せないのは最初にジャクソン・ブラウンのライヴを聴いた80年の大阪公演での思い出だが、
そのコンサートの翌日、ジャクソン・ブラウンが来る!、という情報に乗せられて、同じくファン
だったMさんと一緒に『清水寺』にバイクで行き門前で待っていた。
しばらくするとJacksonBrowne JapanTourのTシャツを着たツアースタッフたちがやってきた。
その時我々が着ていたのは、ファースト・アルバムのジャケットを友人がプリントしたTシャツで、
スタッフ達はそれを見て一斉に手を振ってくれた。
今度のアルバムは地味すぎてさすがにメジャーからは出せなかったようで、ジャクソン・ブラウン
自らが設立したインディペンデント・レーベル<Inside Recordings>からの発売となる。
日本盤はボーナストラック1曲を加えて(!)ソニーから発売されるが、
US輸入盤も日本盤も当初はデジパック仕様となるようだ。
世界各地で演奏されたソロ・アコースティック・コンサートから12曲を収録している。
お馴染みの曲が並ぶが、未発表曲“The Birds Of St. Marks”が収録されているのが嬉しい。
秋の夜長はジャクソン・ブラウンの歌声を聴きながら「過ぎ去りし日々」を思い返すこととしよう。
そして、ジャクソン・ブラウンの歌詞の中にあるメッセージを少しでも受け止めることが出来たのなら、
時には今世界で起こっている不幸な出来事の数々を、
もう一度我々の心の中に呼び覚ましてみるのもいいだろう。
