Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Recorded onstage, backstage, in three different hotel rooms, and on a Continental Silver Eagle tour bus during a cross-country 1977 tour, Running on Empty is a paean to life on the road. Jackson Browne's sense of camaraderie extended to the road crew, if "The Load Out," a love song to his roadies, is to be believed. Browne is much more blithe here than in his earlier outings. But Empty also represents a fleeting lighthearted moment for the singer-cum-poet whose concerns became more political than personal after its appearance. Beneath its flippant surface, this disc is a look at the lengths Browne and his friends went to avoid facing the demands of the touring life. What with the frequent drug references, misogynistic references to on-the-fly pairings with women, and the sobering line in the title track--"I look around for the friends I used to pull me through / Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too"--one realizes that Browne was much more comfortable on the road than off. --Jaan Uhelszki Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Solid from Start to FinishGreat Album from a great artist. Highlights include The Title Track , "Rosie " , " Nothin' But Time " , " The Load Out / Stay ", " Love Needs a Heart " and " Cocaine " . I reccommend the DVD Audio version if you have a player . It features 2 Bonus tracks , " Cocaine Revisited " and an instrumental . Nice CD to pop in when taking a road trip . Not a weak track on it. Rating:  - A great introduction to Jackson Browne, if not an accurate oneFirst things first: "Running On Empty" and "The Load-Out / Stay" are probably deserving of their ubiquity on classic-rock radio. They're the closest this record comes to the standards Browne set on his earliest albums. The rest of Running On Empty is slight, and goes down easy, and that's both a good thing and a bad one. With its well-known bookends and its easy-to-comprehend thematic threads, it's a great record to recommend to a Jackson Browne novice. After all, everything - the melodies, the singing, the playing - is solid. It's a completely accessible record. If you like it, you'll probably check out more of his work, and you'll either find yourself stunned by the considerably greater depth of some of it, or put off by the fact ...

Rating: - One of my personal top 20 albums of all timeThis album is as good today as it was when it was released in 1977. Rating: - A mirror of the seventies touring life...A great album...I haven't any doubt. This album may be considered as a crossroad of the seventies' life of many artists (such as The Eagles). For first, the touring life, wich means to travel along many thousand miles away from home and family. For second, the drugs (problem already reflected in the Eagles' album "Hotel California" of 1976). For third, the emotional mixture of happiness and pain. This album reveals an important message: To enjoy as much as possible the life's best moments, wich are usually very short and pass very quickly...Think about a live concert. When the live concert of your favourite artist is over you can always remember it as an emotional experience, you can listen to the records and watch videos..."and you wake-up in your ...
