WONDERFUL CD!!! a must have for Browne fansReview created: 06/27/08
by:
If you like solo #1 you will love solo #2. This collection of music from Jackson Browne is a must have. Warning! If you are looking for a greatest hits set or a live performance that blares with multiple members on screaming guitar then this is not for you. This is the Jackson Browne we, fans, love and know. Recorded very well, with warm piano and solo acoustic guitar. Browne sings to the audience and interacts as if with friends. If there were only two cd's I could purchase this year these two would be it!

Jackson Browne Acoustic 2Review created: 06/02/08

If you are a Jackson Browne fan you will love this cd....Especially if you have seen him in concert.....Not only is the music great but the interaction with his fans is wonderful and real.....Jackson always seems a lil stoned but it is probably that he is an intelligent and introspective man....get this cd if you like this artist...this live version is better than any of his studio cuts

Review Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic 2
Jackson Browne’s second installment of “Solo Acoustic”, shows an introspective and revealing side of Browne. Not just music, there is a self-biography and story-telling approach to the songs, much like Harry Chapin used to do in the 70’s that endeared him to millions worldwide. There is no backing full piece band behind him: just Browne, his guitar/piano and the small intimate audience. It’s a ‘here is what i am really like’ recital that is made to be heard from beginning to end, and will not lend itself well to Ipods.
Even the songs that Browne selects from his vast catalog are personal, close to the vest songs that don’t need much embellishment for a listener to understand that they are more than just words and music. It’s also not some kind of unplugged retread of his hits either: it’s an intimate recital that you could only get from small venue atmosphere. It opens up, perhaps, a new genre of recordings: personal presentations with the artist speaking ad-lib about the songs, life, loves and disappointments. It differentiates itself from other uplugged cds in this way.
The songs are culled from his latest studio release: 2002’s “The Naked Ride Home” (4 songs); “Somebody’s Baby” from the Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack; “From Everyman” and from “Looking East”. With the exception of 3 or 4 songs, the body of the work will be largely unknown except to Browne fans who know his entire catalog. For me, this made the music even more evocative, since it’s just not something you sing along to in the car,
it’s a bonding between listener and artist: something only a privileged few in music can pull off.
Jackson Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, deservedly so, and not just for his music, but for the impact he’s made on it, and the humanitarian events he has been famous in contributing to.
