Editorial Review:

Album 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.

- a private concert
just like having him in your house with his guitar and piano--

you either love it or hate it.

it makes me grab my guitar and play along with him every time.

and the lyrics will stay with you--

- The Best
Jackson Browne is simply the best! He sells his "product" with such absolute skill and a light-hearted, endearing personality. I loved it!

Rating:

- A superior songwriter / storyteller
Jackson's first album Jackson Browne (1972), sometimes referred to as Saturate Before Using, is - in my opinion - one of the most superior debut albums of all time, so mature, so eloquent, so emotionally charged, the words and the music just breaks my heart, but, you know, it's that hurts-so-good feeling. What's equally impressive is the fact that Jackson managed to maintain the high quality on For Everyman (1973), Late For The Sky (1974) and The Pretender (1975).

Rating:

- a serious complaint
The atmosphere of these gracious, intimate performances is heavily compromised by the loud and long applause tracks. What were they thinking.

Rating:

- Evocative and Inspiring
I now realize the right way to listen to Jackson Browne. Just his voice and a guitar or piano. For 40 years he has written and performed powerful songs and anthems, and whether you agree or disagree with his political views, he sings every lyric with conviction. His rendition of 'Looking East' is worth getting the entire CD, or just download that song. You will be transformed in that 5 and a half minutes.
