Jackson Browne-"Hold Out (1980)

In 1980 Jackson Browne had not published new songs for four years, his previous "Running on Empty" (1978) was a live show which was hugely successful thanks to the Zodiacs version of "Stay".
So this "Hold Out" meant the first work since "The Pretender" of 1976, with this new album Browne again gave a lesson in sobriety as a composer and at the same time showed that he was prepared for the challenge of a new decade and her styles that would predominate in her.
"Hold On" was from the beginning on the way to number one on the charts, his songs did not go unnoticed by the general public, and placed Browne at the top of popularity. Tracks like "Boulevard, "That Girl Could Sing", "Disco Apocalypse" or "Of Missing Persons" were very popular and among the most prominent of this fantastic album that although it would not exceed the sales of its predecessor, if it would achieve a double album platinum only in the United States.
