Over the course of more than three decades, Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music. With classic albums including Late For The Sky, The Pretender, Running On Empty, and For Everyman, and songs like "Doctor My Eyes," "Rock Me On The Water," and "Lives In The Balance," he has defined a genre of songwriting that is charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. Along the way, he has touched the hearts and minds of countless fans worldwide.
Jacksons artistry was recognized with his 2004 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the honor eloquently delivered by friend and fellow Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen. He also received in 2004 an honorary Doctorate of Music from Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice."
Brownes latest album release is 2005s Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1, presenting twelve songs culled from his acclaimed solo acoustic concerts performed worldwide over the past few years. The disc also captures spirited and humorous exchanges between Jackson and his audience, making for an intimate listening experience. Set for release October 11, 2005, Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1 is Inside Recordings' inaugural release under its direct distribution deal with ADA. Presenting twelve songs culled from Brownes 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 compilation, produced by Jackson Browne and Paul Dieter, is his first live release since his 1977 multi-platinum album Running On Empty. Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1 also marks the recording debut! of a song more than three decades old, "The Birds Of St. Marks," not previously released in any form. Featuring solo performances on both guitar and piano, the album's track listing reaches back to Brownes early years with "These Days" and "Take It Easy," and spans his entire career with other highlights including "Fountain Of Sorrow," "For Everyman," "The Pretender" and "Looking East." A stirring live version of "Lives In The Balance," the title track from Jacksons powerful 1986 album, will be the new albums lead single.

Where's Vol. 2??.......2007-06-01
The music is simply outstanding in its simple arrangement, and the commentary is, well, who the man is. For true fans it's great stuff. I hope volume 2 has a couple of Zevon tunes on it - as he "covered" several of these in the aftermath of the Excitable boy's untimely passing.

Smoothe Music.......2006-07-10
This album is fabulous for artistic inspiration. It is beautiful without being imposing. As a teacher of English, I often look for music that will inspire my students to write without distracting them. For the past four years, this CD has been one that my students have enjoyed listening to while they work.
Half good, half sleepers.......2004-03-02
However, the buffet factor did affect my opinion of the overall music: more songs means more filler. While I find half of the collection to be great, I felt pretty underwhelmed by the rest of it. There are no excruciatingly bad moments to speak of. The low points are just plain boring. And almost everyone here is trying their absolute best to ape the Michael Hedges approach. A find that admirable since I like Michael Hedges, but it's tiring all the same.
My favorite musicians here are probably Don Ross, Pat Kirtley, and possibly D.R. Auten. Ross is very much a disciple of Hedges, but his music remains compositionally interesting like his source. Both songs show off a good melody alongside his baffling technique. It really does sound like he has three hands. Pat Kirtley has a more subtle approach to the guitar. His Kentucky-Americana roots make for two very warm, laid-back tunes. He may not be flashy, but he has style. I like D.R. Auten's loose-jazz composition "Angela." That's definitely a high point on the CD for me as well.
When I saw Muriel Anderson perform, my jaw might have hit the floor. I can't remember. But she was completely out of this world. And I almost didn't go to see her play because the two songs she contributed to this CD put me to sleep. To B Or Not To B sounds identical to the Chet Atkins performance, and It Never Gets Easier is just as dry. Without a doubt I recommend you catch her live. As far as her recordings go, I have yet to hear something killer.
All of the other guitarists just sound like one another. While their technique is impressive and the music is pleasant, it's all too much of the same. Hopefully these other artists will grow and develop as their careers progress.
Absolutely fantastic!!!.......2003-11-30

Exciting, entertaining Solo Guitar!!!.......2007-05-08
What we liked best is these are not covers of the classic Atkins, Byrd, or Klugh arrangements. Each track is an original Richard Kuncicky arrangement. Check out Rick's two CDs. Both are very highly recommended!

Customer Reviews:
Of all the Galli-Curci CD reissues, I put this one first........2001-02-09
On one day in 1917 she made three recordings, two of which are her greatest. They are the arias from "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" (Track 16) and "La Sonnambula" (Track 18). Also included in this reissue is her participation in the "Rigoletto" Quartet and the "Lucia di Lammermoor" Sextet (two takes) with an ensemble including Caruso, with whom she sang only two performances in stage, and several duets with the baritone Giuseppe de Luca, a frequent partner at the Met.
So what are "her best qualities", referred to above, and do they merit the considerable outlay necessary to buy this 2 CD set? Vocal agility is the most remarkable. A bird-like trill is executed beautifully and easily, in both an upper and lower register. All sounds fall easily on the ear. Galli-Curci was one of the great gramophone coloraturas. Here are 43 of her recordings, cleanly and faultlessly projected, available at merely a fraction of their original purchase price.
