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.

Rating : - Difficult to know if I want to buy...
Amazon did a very poor job in choosing selections from tracks for our listening pleasure. This is provided, I assume, to help us determine that indeed we love the snippets we have heard and will buy the album. Several of these clips were intros to songs only. It's nice to know that they are live recordings, but it would be nice to hear some of the music... I gave 3 stars because I had to provide something, but the real rating is [???-no idea]
