Singer-songwriter Greg Brown has made a cottage industry for himself in the folk world by doing it his way. His quirky, deeper-than-deep voice, homespun poetic narratives, and decidedly uncommercial bent have found their way into the hearts of many via the label he and cohort Bob Feldman started specifically to promote his music, and which has incidentally become a viable home for many other artists over the years. That independent spirit is all over MILK OF THE MOON, where Brown refuses to fall into genre traps. If a song resembles a traditional blues too closely, he'll distort his voice till it sounds like he's singing from Tom Waits's bathroom. If a pastoral sonic landscape is in danger of becoming too precious he'll slather it with some stinging, distorted guitar.
Despite such twists, Brown's strength has always been simplicity, and he adheres admirably to that principle here. Part of the reason MILK OF THE MOON doesn't aspire to the junkyard orchestra heights of SLANT 6 MIND may be that Brown's guitarist/producer Bo Ramsey isn't on board. But it's just as likely that Brown just knew the best way to get these uncomplicated-but-trenchant tales of post-postmodern American life across was to present them with plenty of soul and a minimum of fuss.
On "Milk of the Moon" Greg Brown elevates the genre of original singer songwriter folk music to a plane just about level with the lunar surface!

THE WIND won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was nominated for Song Of The Year and for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Disorder in the House" won for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and was also nominated for Best Rock Song.
With the specter of a terminal lung cancer diagnosis hanging over his head, Warren Zevon responded by rallying to make THE WIND, an album that found him working with longtime collaborator and friend Jorge Calderon, shortly after getting the news.

| | Two Sides Of Jack Wilson CD (1964)
Milk Of The Moon
$9.85
It isn't fair to limit Jack Wilson to two sides. The range of players with whom the pianist has performed: from Sammy Davis and Eartha Kitt to Jackie McLean and Roland Kirk, makes clear he is multi-dimensional. All that range is not demonstrated on this set, but -- despite its title -- this is not simply a program of uptempo tracks followed by an equal number of ballads.
This 1964 recording steers a boppish mainstream course through a variety of moods and tempi, covering pieces by Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, pop standards and two good Wilson originals. Los-Angeles-based, Wilson is not readily identifiable ...
| | Carbon Leaf Meander CD (1995)
Milk Of The Moon
$12.89
Many of the cuts on Meander are copyrighted in the mid-'90s, and as a band, Carbon Leaf has matured since then. There's a tendency for groups to experiment before settling into their own characteristic sound, and Meander is the product of Carbon Leaf's experimental stage. They try their hand at some generic-sounding rock, as on "Live Like You," which, fortunately, they grew away from later. On "Shellfish," there are indications of what subsequently would become their trademark tendency toward surreal lyrics, as explored more fully on Ether-Electrified Porch Music, but this collection is unfortunately marked by some technical flaws. "Skeleton Man Dance" needs to be remixed, as the instruments overpower ...
