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 serious complaint August 10, 2008
The atmosphere of these gracious, intimate performances is heavily compromised by the loud and long applause tracks. What were they thinking.
 Evocative and Inspiring August 1, 2008
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.
A little Boring June 21, 2008

I thought this cd was a little boring. I like more variety. I think he could have picked some better songs.
Acoustic Jackson June 12, 2008
I like this CD... It's just him and his music. I like the intros to the songs and how he shares small glimpses of his life. Hope there is a Vol 2
 shut up and sing June 7, 2008

I started to buy Volume 1 and Volume 2 and some other JB stuff from the old days. Before I sent my order I listened to some of the samplers. I wanted to hear the Pretender but couldn't because JB was yapping away with some low-class putdowns about how the USA might not be the greatest country in the world and commenting about a group that wanted to Sail Away from here. Then I remembered that JB has often done the liberal California thing when talking about the military and the government of the United States. I thought that if he felt that way and wanted us all to know it then I would show him how I felt and not buy his stuff. Brown, Raitt, Springsteen, et al should just shut up and sing. I don't care and don't want to know what they think about politics. No great loss to me, for sure.
