Lives in the Balance

I have enormous respect for artists who have continued to speak truth to power throughout their careers. Jackson Browne, Bruce Cockburn, Billy Bragg, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Steve Earle, Joan Baez... These people often rally us, wake us from our day-to-day dream, help shake us into action. We wake to see what is happening in our own backyard. We open our eyes to what we can do.

Jackson Browne's new album Solo Acoustic, Volume 1 contains one of his most powerful songs ~ "Lives in the Balance." Click here to see an incredibly moving video of the song.
