Greg Brown plays a unique brand of folk, with an acoustic guitar backed by slide and electric guitars, violin and mandolin. His influences run from blues to jazz and rock, and his songwriting is sharp and detailed. On FURTHER IN, he softens his biting irony and cynicism; he hasn't gone stickily sentimental, but he is at his most romantic and optimistic here. While part of Brown's talent is for revealing the magic in ordinary situations, he is also a master at moving between the universal and the deeply personal, as in "Where is Maria": "Our foolish government/Tries to save face/While the whole world struggles/To become one bland place/But where is Maria?"
"A wickedly sharp oberver of the human condition." - Rolling Stone "Further In contains some of the most beautiful and haunting tunes Brown has recorded. His distinctive voice, deeper and richer than ever, provides the ideal medium for his lyrics, while the musical arrangements are virtually perfect." - Associated Press

Rolling Stone (11/28/96, p.136) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...A wickedly sharp observer of the human condition....Built on sturdy acoustic melodies, minimally but beautifully embellished, FURTHER IN is a contemplative gem....Brown's voice [is]...flexible and undeniably sexy; he can bait that rusty hook with honey, whiskey or blood..."

Purchase Further In CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Greg Brown Dream Cafe CD (1992)
Further In album
 $13.95 
1992's DREAM CAFE marked the beginning of Brown's most artistically fertile period. He'd come a long way from his rustic-sounding folkie beginnings, and though the previous DOWN IN THERE pointed strongly towards an aesthetic rebirth, this album saw that promise bear fruit. It's here that Brown finally begins to make full use of his craggy baritone, an instrument of unprecedented intimacy and sensuality. Sonically, DREAM CAFE moves between grinding, visceral, bluesy cuts like "You Drive Me Crazy" and "You Can Watch Me," where Brown gets deliciously down and dirty, and artier, more poetic tunes like the transcendent "Sleeper." DREAM CAFE is part of the consistent upward progression that continued unabated throughout Brown's career.

Further In CD music
$14.15  
1992's DREAM CAFE marked the beginning of Brown's most artistically fertile period, and its follow-up ups the ante accordingly. True to its title, the album contains some of Brown's most intensely poetic, lyrically complex tunes. Full of sophisticated imagery, the songs here bear the strong influence of Brown's heroine Ferron. As on DREAM CAFE, the dynamic shifts between earthy blues-based songs like the randy "Ballingall Hotel" and more cerebral efforts like the end-of-the-millennium lament "Here in the Going Going Gone." As always, Brown's ...
| | Greg Brown Slant 6 Mind CD (1997)
Further In music CDs
$14.15 
SLANT 6 MIND was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album.
SLANT 6 MIND, Greg Brown's 13th album, finds this singer-songwriter at the peak of his considerable powers. His loyal cult following has watched Brown grow over the years from sharp-but-sentimental flatlands folkie to a dark, acerbic observer of the human condition with a deep, husky voice that is the perfect tool for delivering his soulful tunes. As usual, the production is just juicy enough to keep things interesting, but sparse enough to cast Brown's homespun existentialism in stark relief.
The sarcastic humor of "Mose Allison Played Here" and the simmering sensuality of "Hurt So Nice" contrast the emotionally-ravaged perspective of "Whatever It Was" and "Loneliness House." Brown's co-producer and longtime guitarist Bo Ramsey is still the right-hand-man-from-heaven, providing the perfect complement to Brown's songs and voice. Throughout, Brown cements his reputation as an important voice in American songwriting, on a par with the icon of your choice.
"Slant 6 Mind delivers all the warmth and immediacy of a command performance, with ...
| | Greg Brown Honey In The Lions Head CD (2004)
Further In songs
$13.09
Greg Brown built his rep as one of the mover and shakers on the contemporary folk scene with his detailed writing and deep baritone. Honey in the Lion's Head takes a detour from his usual fare by delving into a dozen traditional songs from "Old Smokey" to "Railroad Bill." The arrangements, with an exception or two, are straightforward enough. A nice blend of acoustic guitars, banjo, and bass will allow most folk purists to put aside their singer/songwriter prejudices. Even with cozy arrangements, however, the final mix is sprightly enough to entice listeners who appreciate a clean, layered sound. Brown's deep, ragged voice also evokes "authentic" folk music, as though he'd just been discovered in some Appalachian holler by ...
