  Running on Empty (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Running on Empty is the fifth album by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, released in 1977 (see 1977 in music).
The album is one of the most original live albums ever made: in addition to tracks recorded on-stage during concerts, it also contains songs recorded in hotel rooms, on the tour bus, and backstage.
Running on Empty was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1979, but did not win.

 Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
is a live album of new material about life on the road as conceived and recorded by a band of touring musicians in the places they spend most of their time (onstage, backstage, in hotel rooms, even on the bus).
which was more a concept album about the road than an actual live album, even though its songs were sometimes recorded on stage (and sometimes on the bus or in the hotel).
Although unlike most live albums, it consisted of previously unrecorded songs, Browne had less creative participation on this album than on any he ever made, solely composing only two songs, co-writing four others, and covering another four.

 Running on Empty by Jackson Browne: Album Reviews
Having acknowledged a certain creative desperation on The Pretender, Jackson Browne lowered his sights (and raised his commercial appeal) considerably with Running on Empty, which was more a concept album about the road than an actual live album, even though its songs were sometimes recorded on-stage (and sometimes on the bus or in the hotel).
Browne had less creative participation on this album than on any he ever made, solely composing only two songs, co-writing four others, and covering another four.
(It didn't hurt that "Running on Empty" and "The Load-Out"/"Stay" both became Top 40 hits.) As a result, Browne's least ambitious, but perhaps most accessible, album ironically became his biggest seller.

When Jackson Browne, on his first album, sang, "There's a train every day/Leaving either way/There's a world, you know," he was giving us both the problem and the solution, and there's not much difference between the two.
This is the hymn of the Harvard cowboy, a pragmatic hobo's lullaby.
What I really like about Running on Empty probably has little to do with the generosity or genius of its dual concepts, with the songwriter's craftsmanship and skill, with how much I admire the music of David Lindley and the Section, but rather with Jackson Browne himself.

 DVD4Music.com: DVD: Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
The album is an innovative take on live albums, recorded in a variety of locations while Jackson Browne toured America in 1977:; on the tour bus, in hotel rooms, during sound checks and the load-out, in addition to live shows.
It is also an unusual live album, as every song was previously unreleased by Jackson Browne, including the international smash hit Stay.
Running On Empty confirmed Browne’s status as a premier songwriter and performer, and he would follow this up with his No. 1 album Hold Out.

 Writings From A Temporary Resident: Running On Empty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
It is an unhappiness born of anger, an anger born of fear, and a fear born of emptiness; an emptiness than we are trying to fill with all the wrong things and in all the wrong places.
The only way to stop running scared is to repent in the most literal sense of the word, to change direction and begin running towards the only one who can truly fulfill us and calm our fears.
It brings with it a life of sacrifice that runs counter to everything the world is selling, but allows us to be possessed by Christ and, because of that, to cease being possessed by anything else.

The other two tracks are both instrumentals: "Edwardsville, Room 124" was recorded on the road during his 1977 tour in support of Running on Empty ; "Overture is an instrumental medley that recaps the entire album, and features a correlating video montage to boot.
The "Overture" montage, according to Hurley, "is the length of the song, but not a ponderous flow through a photo gallery; it moves at a much quicker pace than that.
Running on Empty exemplifies the vast reaches of the DVD-Audio format: more than 300 photos, many unreleased, are featured on the disc; some comprise a montage video for the title track, some the "Overture" video and others are located in an additional photo gallery section.

 The Observer | Review | British pop running on empty
The UK's end-of-year album charts, choked with greatest hits compilations (half the top 20) and boy/girl bands (half the top 10) tell clearly what kind of year it's been for British pop - lousy.
Their look and attitude made the music almost incidental, but some blistering live shows and a sharp debut album proved otherwise.
Beyond the Anglo-American axis, 'world' music (and it might as well be called 'different planet' for all the exposure it receives) produced a rich crop of records.

 Jackson Browne Album Reviews
Browne’s greatest strength is in his ability to move people with personal problems that touch on universal emotions, and he matches his excellent lyrics here to the most beautiful and un-boring music of his career.
As a result, Late For The Sky epitomized the laid-back West Coast sound of the early ‘70s, as the album was as quietly elegant and evocative as the picture that adorned its cover.
These well-known songs were easily the album’s best; though I continue to admire Browne’s lyric writing, he’s largely burdened by mundane melodies throughout Running On Empty.

Running On Empty by Jackson Browne Cassette Tape
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.

 Jackson Browne - FAQ
Running On Empty was a milestone in another way: it clearly showed that Jackson Browne was moving away from his folk rock roots and more toward the rock and roll he loves.
While his later albums have focused on his political and social activities, his tenth album, " I'm Alive, " brought him full circle, returning him to his roots as a singer and songwriter who can touch his fans with his deep sense of feeling and expression.
This album is one of his strongest both musically and lyrically -- from the playfulness of "I'm The Cat" to the stirring emotions of "Alive In The World" to the driving beat of "Culver Moon".
