Song writer, Jackson Browne and his feisty rock band are on the road behind "Looking East," his first album since 1994, and only his eleventh in twenty-four years. The stage show is tight, well wrought. The audience thrills to the older material, like "Rock Me on the Water," and is polite or, at best, receptive to the new a standard rock paradox. As Browne himself sees it, full circle with "Looking East." It has a political context but it's not really identifiable politically. It's not a specific political problem; it's the social context for a song.
