Thanks for sharing this special treat. We loved hearing Greg' stories and songs. And thanks for recognizing hi great talents, which even he, under-appreciates..... Ramcey in Nashville
Greg is a treasure.....thise first two albums he sort of brushed off as not sure what they were about.....they are fantastic as with all his music.....this world needs way more Greg Browns.....
I love SOME Greg Brown. The Poet Game and Dream Cafe in the early 90s represent the real maturation and cohesiveness of his lyrical prowess and the contributions of his slide guitar/ Dobro player can’t be underestimated and add to the drive and interest of his acoustic finger style prowess and that was the eta many people fell in love with the quality of his voice and the down home sincerity of his lyrics and his insights and wisdom subtlety delivered, mostly. Slant 6 Mind is a standout a couple years later, maybe 96 when B. Dylan’s Time Out of Mind came out. I saw Greg w my 5 year old daughter in church basements, etc. Lovely man. Represents a somewhat nostalgic view of an America long gone. Nothing bad to say about a man like him, but his discography is spotty at best. Ur better off finding the songs or 4 lps that do it for you and sticking with them, imho. If you live it all, please ignore my opinion. Check ‘em all out, there’s usually at least one track I dig. it the 3lps i mentioned are the trilogy for me.. and i’ve gotta hear Covenant again n his more recent stuff. But it’s not the voice i that grabbed me back then. No judgement, time marches on. He was/ is an influence to many- he travelled his own path from the start, following his own unique muse. God bless. Respect.
Have loved Greg from the beginning always will!

anyone know how to write to Greg? It looks like red house records is in Nashville, not St. paul, so I assume that address is not active
Yes, it looks like their address is now in Nashville. Write him there, and I would think he'll get it.
