Think Blood on the Tracks, Think Living With Ghosts.......2002-08-23

One of the best albums, ever. The songs all stand alone and all stand together. An album that's all regional and all universal. Bob Dylan probably fantasizes that he is Greg Brown. Although I am not particularly partial to the singer/songwriter genre, some albums just shine through all the navel lint and this one certainly does just that.

Still leaves me stunned.......2002-02-14

I've worked as a backup musician for years, and tend to be a somewhat cynical judge of songwriters. I flinch easily. But when I heard "My New Book" from The Poet Game on NPR one day, I had to stop and stay in my car until it was done. Simply his best work overall, with nary a misstep or excessively sentimental turn. "64 Dodge" is a masterpiece - it talks about nothing and says everything. Yes, yes. This is the stuff.

yes, tunes for our times.......2001-12-25

This, my first Greg album, is still my sentimental favorite, with lyrical passages that still surprise and move me. Two events have come together to bring it all home again: I just finished the Peace Corps, which celebrated it's 40th anniversary since JFK created it, and September 11th. We've all heard '64 Dodge a thousand times, that snapshot of American innocence before Kennedy's assassination, but damned if it doesn't resonate with fresh feeling in these trying times. Thanks again, Greg.

Two best cd's by Brown.......2001-07-17

I prefered Dream Cafe to this one, but only slightly. With these two cd's Brown is at the top of new folk music, and the singer songwriters revival. Great music and great lyrics. You ow these two cd's to yourself after a hard day's work.

best thing I've heard in years.......2000-12-01

The first Greg Brown album I owned, and it didn't take long to get me hooked. Layers upon layers of poetry, gorgeous tunes, and an unmistakable, masterful delivery. The disc is worth buying for "Driftless" alone - it's amazing, it's like a hymn, I want it played at my funeral - but that doesn't do justice to the rest of the album. I can't recommend it highly enough.
