Product Description

Spin (10/00, p.184) - 8 out of 10 - "...Exudes the reflective wit and wisdom of his native Iowa as effectively as the Wu spew Staten Island science....Unplug your irony and drink this in."
Q Magazine (10/00, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[His] husky voice and poignant lyrics combine to paint songs, quixotic vignettes of existential small-town blues and the true beauty of love amongst the ruins..."
Downbeat (3/01, p.73) - 3.5 out of 5 - "Brown pushes the tempo into rocking territory, dips into the blues and lullabies with acoustic guitar radiance..."
Mojo (8/00, p.104) - "...Straightforward, storytelling folk, blues and country songs...showcasing a deep, rich, crusty, world-weary, been-there-done-it voice that gives even the happy songs a lugubrious undertow, and nimble, unpretentious guitar-picking..."
Entertainment Weekly (8/4/00, p.86) - "Nobody does lonely like Brown, whose spare, night-sweat confessionals spill out in a hypnotic baritones bass alternately filled with bourbon and blood..." - Rating: B
No Depression (7-8/00, pp.100-1) - "...A multifaceted look at a remarkable artist..."
CMJ (9/4/00, p.31) - "...Delivers some of folk music's most vividly painted songscapes..."
