JACKSON BROWNE SOLO ACOUSTIC VOL. 1
TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 31
EMI's new Angel label is pleased to announce it has finalized a deal with Jackson Browne’s own label Inside Recordings for Jackson’s new album, Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1, to be released in the UK on October 31.
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 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 track listing reaches back to Browne’s 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 Jackson’s powerful 1986 album, will be the new album’s lead single.
Jackson's solo tour involved an extensive series of UK dates in October and November last year including two nights at the london Palladium and an appearance on Later With Jools Holland.
Following the October 31, 2005 debut of Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol. 1, Inside Recordings will begin announcing future releases for 2006, including Jackson’s next studio album, currently in progress, and another volume in his Solo Acoustic series.
