14nov02

SINGER-songwriter Jackson Browne and his band will tour Australia early next year, in his first visit for more than five years, promoter Frontier Touring said.

The tour will be a combination of theatre shows and performances under the A Day On The Green banner at some of the most picturesque wineries across Australia.

Browne will perform with his full band - Kevin McCormick (bass), Mark Goldenberg (lead guitars), Mauricio Lewak (drums), Jeff Young (keyboards and harmony vocals), Val McCallum (guitars) and Catherine Russell (harmony vocals) - and deliver songs from his acclaimed thirty-year career.

In addition to the classic rock tracks, Jackson will spotlight material from his latest album, The Naked Ride Home.

The album is Jackson's 13th career album and his first of new material since 1996's Looking East.

Over three decades, Browne has written and performed some of the most literate, moving songs in popular music, selling more than 15 million albums along the way.

February tour dates are:

Friday 14, Lyric Theatre, Brisbane; Tuesday 18, Sydney Opera House, Sydney; Friday 21, Palais Theatre, Melbourne.

I liked Jackson Browne back in the late 70's and early 80's, but what has he done since ?? Seems like he is putting this tour on in the name of his biggest hit - "Running On Empty".

Have a read through these lyrics from Jackson Browne's "Lives In The Balance". The song was released in 1986, but is just as relevant now...


I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take anymore
So they pick up a gun, or a brick, or a stone
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flame
Of the wars that are fought in places
We can't even say the name
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us everything from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
