Free Music Notes for Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: If you can't hear Jackson Browne live or if you have and want to relive the memories...
Hit: 5 Stars
I've loved Jackson Browne and his music since I first heard "Fountain of Sorrow" back when it was a new song. I have most of his recordings and many have been moved from scratched vinyl to tape to CD.
What I love best about the two solo acoustic CDs is that nothing comes between the man and his music. While these are live concert recordings, the sussurrus of voices and applause are kept to a minimum so all you hear is Browne's crystal clear voice and his guitar--with an occasional piano for accompaniment.
These aren't the Browne songs with a lot of radio play. "Somebody's Baby" is probably the most commercial of this collection, followed by "Redneck Friend." Still, every song is beautifully engineered with the quality Browne's voice and musicianship deserves.
Free Music Review: Yea Jackson!
Hit: 5 Stars
The 60-ish Jackson Browne is in great form with this continuation of his 2005 solo live cd, singing and accompanying himself on guitar even better than when we saw him live in the 70's. There is a full range of songs here, with favorites from the first album through his most current cd's. The cd notably closes with a touching tribute to his long-term girlfriend, "My Stunning Mystery Companion." As on his last cd, Jackson was considerate enough to divide the spoken song introductions from the songs with separate track numbers. The whole project is beautifully executed and tasteful to the max. Yea Jackson! If you like this cd, check out David Bromberg's Grammy-nominated solo acoustic "Try Me One More Time." Jackson and David are old friends who played and sang together many times.
Free Music Review: Jackson, Redux
Hit: 5 Stars
Let me say this at the outset: I'm a big Jackson fan and have been for years. That being said, I saw the song selection on this album (yes, it IS an album!) and thought I'd pass. I reconsidered.... and bought it....
I'm thrilled that I did!! The song selection, which at first is what kept me from getting the CD, works really well. Mr. Browne's guitar playing is just wonderful.... He'd probably be the first to tell you that he's no Clapton, but what he does with the instrument works perfectly with his material.
By the way, his stage banter is worth the price of the record!!
I believe that Jackson has another four or five GREAT live albums to make. Let's get it done!!
Free Music Review: The Jackson Browne We fell in Love With Years Ago is Back
Hit: 5 Stars
This is what a singer/songwriter is suppose to do! Perform his work alone on a stage with his own musical instruments sharing a voice that's pure and leaving the audience screaming for more. He sends out story songs that stay with you long after the concert ends. This is the Jackson Browne we all fell in love with many years ago. With the release of these solo acoustical concerts 1 & 2, I'm reminded why so many of his fellow musicians enlist his songs and background vocals in their own performances. These recordings are first class and "must have works" in your library by a splendid songwriter and singer.
Free Music Review: Great and Intimate Live Album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Jackson Browne album ( and I have most of them ). I prefer it to Vol. 1, as the songs are not as well known as the bigger "hits". I actually enjoy the interactions with the audience, and you can also chose to skip over the dialog, as it's kept on its own track, separate from the song. It really sounds like Mr. Browne is enjoying himself, and he certainly seems to have found his groove. The sound is excellent, and the performance shimmers. It's melancholy, pensive, sad, and uplifting. A superb chronicle of one man's music and an all-around great disc.
