Running On Empty

  Posted by Picasa

If you are looking for some good music for those relaxing days at the beach, for backyard bbq's, cruising in the car, or chillin' at home, I highly recommend Jackson Browne.

Jackson Browne has been around since the 70's and he has scored some big hits like "Doctor My Eyes", "Running on Empty", "The Pretender", and "Stay." But it is his less famous songs that tell the real story. What Springsteen and Billy Joel are to the East Coast, Jackson Browne and Tom Petty are to the West Coast. Like Springsteen, Jackson Browne tells a story in each song. He talks about love, the struggles of every day life, and things we can all relate to. Although maybe not as poetic as "The Boss", Jackson's voice is a bit more soothing and melodic.

If you are anywhere near a music store this weekend, pick up his Greatest Hits to get yourself familiar with his work, you'll be glad you did!

Have a great weekend!

I love Jackson Browne. Good sing along songs to test your vocals. I didn't know he did a stint with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

That song always reminds me of Forrest Gump.
