BROWNE REFILLS RUNNING ON EMPTY
Two-Disc Set Featuring Remastered Original,
Previously Unreleased Tracks, 5.1 Surround
Sound And Over 200 Never-Before-Seen Tour
Photos Available From Rhino November 15
LOS ANGELES - Fueled by his dream to create
an album about the road on the road, Jackson
Browne went on tour with a remarkable collection
of musicians in 1977 and came home with
RUNNING ON EMPTY, a musical portrait of
life on tour that is as brutally honest
as it is achingly beautiful. In collaboration
with Rhino Records, Jackson Browne tops
off the tank with a host of special features
for the expanded and remastered edition
of this live classic.
The two-disc set includes a CD featuring
the original album remastered, plus a DVD
with the album remixed by Greg Ladanyi (the
original engineer) in 5.1 DVD Audio Surround
Sound, and produced by Browne. The DVD also
includes a pair of unreleased songs‹the
instrumental "Edwardsville Room 124"
composed by keyboardist Craig Doerge and
"Cocaine Again," plus more than
200 photos taken by Joel Bernstein during
the tour including a "Running On Empty"
video montage and a behind-the-scenes tour
photo album accompanied by an instrumental
medley of tracks from the album.
Featuring 12 live performances recorded
between August 17 and September 18, 1977,
the deluxe edition of RUNNING ON EMPTY is
available November 15 at retail outlets
and at www.rhino.com
and www.jacksonbrowne.com
for a suggested list price of $24.98.
For the album, Browne and his band-Danny
Kortchmar on guitar; David Lindley on fiddle
and lap steel guitar; Doerge on keyboard;
Leland Sklar on bass; Russ Kunkel on drums;
and Doug Haywood and Rosemary Butler on
background vocals-recorded previously unreleased
songs in natural settings, such as a Holiday
Inn hotel room, a backstage rehearsal space,
on a tour bus, and on stage. Selling more
than 7 million copies, RUNNING ON EMPTY
became Browne's biggest selling title and
includes the Top 40 hits "Running On
Empty" (the title track) and "The
Load-Out/Stay."
In addition to liner notes penned by respected
music critic Anthony DeCurtis, the set features
an essay about Bernstein's photography by
music journalist-turned-filmmaker Cameron
Crowe. "His work on the 1977 tour has
rarely been seen outside the lives of the
participants-it's a painstaking and rollicking
and utterly real portrait of that great
trip across country. As one lucky enough
to be a longtime collaborator with Bernstein,
I'd seen some of these photos and proof-sheets
in his archives," Crowe writes. "When
the time came to make a movie about my own
experience in the world of early '70s rock
'n' roll, Almost Famous, some of these very
images were meticulously re-created in the
film, partly as an homage to Joel, but mostly
because inside his photography is the elixir
I'd hoped would seep into the movie. This
is how it felt to be there."
