This is my belated Unplugged project... :-[

You see it was tax season, and I got the flu, and the website went down....

At first this was a bigger project in my head, with piano, and a lot of vocal tracks.  But I ended up just doing a duet - a guitar and a banjo, with strictly two vocal parts, so it could be done on stage by two people.

"Running On Empty"
Words and Music by Jackson Browne

i'm  whacked after a heavy day and night at work and this is like a double strength espresso and charged me up for the day brilliant.

Nice job, Rolow - love the banjo!

I too grew sick of this one as it got nearly non-stop FM radio playback way back in the day - but I really enjoyed your take on it.

cheers,
cuth

Superb cover of a top song. The banjo works a treat. I'll never get bored of this one - I was lucky enough to see Jackson do it live two or three years ago. You really nailed the harmonies too. Nice one!

A nice take on this oldie and I think your best recording so far.  The backing vocals are working well!
