Song of the Day: Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne has made some great music over the years, and he has a connection with two other artists that I have highlighted in the past: Dan Fogelberg and the Eagles.  Browne wrote, played and sang with both of them in the early 70's.

Today I want to touch on two songs.  First is "Running on Empty".  I ran across this version on YouTube.  Not fantastic sound quality, but worthwhile.

"Running On Empty"


Next is "For America", a song that would have fit in with the music his friend Kris Kristofferson was writing around the same time.

Bonus:

For those of us who grew up in the age of classic MTV, this video will bring back memories of the days when it seemed to be in heavy rotation.

"Lawyers In Love"
