Also available with JACKSON BROWNE (SATURATE BEFORE USING) on 1 cassette.

An audacious concept album about life on the road, this is a mix of in concert performances and informal sessions taped in various hotel rooms (see "Shaky Town," although it's hard to believe that Browne, by then a major star, was actually staying at a Holiday Inn). It's very '70s--the overall aura of cocaine-fueled decadence is almost palpable--but it works far better than you'd expect, and the songs are consistently memorable, even if Browne didn't write them all.

High points include a stunning half hotel/half concert version of Danny O'Keefe's "The Road," still the best song ever written about the life of a travelling musician, and the closing medley of the roadie anthem "The Load-Out" and Maurice Williams and the Zodiac's doo-wop classic "Stay." The hard rocking title tune features typically lyrical yet stinging slide guitar from long time associate David Lindley.

Recorded live in 1977.

Personnel: Jackson Browne (vocals, guitar); Danny Kortchmar (guitar); David Lindley (lap steel guitar, fiddle); Craid Doerge (keyboards); Leland Sklar (bass); Russ Kunkel (drums); Doug Haywood, Rosemary Butler (background vocals).Uncut (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "At the center, in splendid isolation from the surrounding cast of characters, are Browne's boyishly earnest voice and its constant shadow throughout the decade: the keening lap-steel and doleful violin of David Lindley."
Dirty Linen (p.63) - "Writing rock songs about life on the road has long been a cliche, but the topic was never treated with such verve and condor as it was on Jackson Browne's 1977 album RUNNING ON EMPTY..."

2 stars Great Music, Defective Disc
I ordered "Running on Empty" for the DVD-A disk. The re-mastered original CD is quite good and sounds excellent. I have returned this package twice, however, due to defects in the DVD-A disk. This is more to due with what they received from Rhino Records than CDUniverse, but it is something to be noted if you intend to by it.

5 stars One of the best live/recorded on the road albums EVER!
This album was recorded on the road and is best listened to while tooling down the road. I was 23 in 1977 and it just takes me back. Beyond al the emotinal crud, it is a well executed album.

5 stars Fantastic Disc - Not Defective!
I can't say enough about this wonderful release. Probs that some people are encountering are due to firmware issues in their dvd player - specifically the Pioneer DV-563a. If you have this player and haven't gotten the firmware update, this will not be the only disc you will have probs with. Get it fixed (a free warranty service - search Google for info), and enjoy!!
