Customer Reviews

Greg Brown Hits the Spot Again. (2003-04-26)

This piece of music is filled with wonderful melodies and words that reach right down into our souls. He seems to know what really is going on and how to put it to music. I hope you will enjoy this CD as much as I have. Who Would Have Thunk It, that he would have affected so many lifes in such a positive way.

A dark cd (2001-06-19)

This is quiet and dark cd, remindfull of Tom Waits in the 70's. Although not in par with "Dream Cafe" and "Poet Game" and his output in the 90's, Brown was already a great singer-songwriter in the 80's, as a matter of fact, he was already a master in his genre.

If you already have Poet Game and Dream Cafe, then you'll want this one too. If not start by them and then decide if you want more Greg Brown cd, I think you will.

New fan of Greg Brown (2001-02-01)

I bought this CD based on hearing "Who Woulda Thunk It" on Acoustic Crossroads on the Dish Network and on the reviews on this web site - it's a wonderful CD - Greg reminds me of Cat Stevens in some ways.

This album is truly a musical gift (2000-09-23)

This album fell into my life by accident and I am glad it did. This album is a wonderful combination of wit/humor, earthiness, and tender moments. The lyrics combined with his rough and deep voice are wonderful. Not a word is wasted nor out of place. This album is a "keeper."

The best of Greg's old-school work (2000-05-17)

This was the first of the Red House Records catalogue to be re-released on CD, and it's evident why from the very first listen. While Greg's sophisticated, sparse yet endlessly emotive instrumentation is still years away from this album, in my opinion his vocal performance here is his best recorded one ever. Period.

On this album, he can move listeners to tears lines as simple as "We're gonna miss you" and "Who do you think you're fooling?"; he can turn "I'd like to buy you the world's biggest bathtub" into one of the greatest love lyrics of all time. Those expecting Greg's usual sharply (sometimes painfully) perceptive commentary on life will not be disappointed; even the once-rejected bonus tracks are 5-star performances.

And the music, pre-Dream Cafe though it may be, is the perfect accompaniment. With warm, friendly-sounding guitars, harmonicas, accordians, and mandolins all getting in on the action, it sounds like a group of friends getting together on someone's back porch in Iowa to kick out those folky, folky jams. (Which, apart from the back porch in Iowa part, it probably was).

I know three people who got married to tunes on this CD - isn't that enough recommendation for you?
