Title: Recovering from sorrow by running
Review: Jackson Browne / Running On Empty: While Browne was dealing with the sorrow of his wife's suicide during the making of "The Pretender", here (in "Running On Empty") he seems to be both running away from that sorrow and searching for a new paradigm in which to live the rest of his life. It is no coincidence that his later albums became more overtly political as that became the new grid by which he saw the world. Here we have the lost and wandering Browne, who even gets help with the writing of his songs, and using other folks songs as well. The result however, sees no loss of quality or production. This is another excellent album from Browne. One other note, the next time you watch the movie Forrest Gump and hear the song "Running on Empty" while Forrest is dealing with his loss by running from shore to shore, know that it's not that different than what Browne himself was doing when he wrote it (except Browne used a tour bus).Five Stars.
