I've worked as a backup musician for years, and tend to be a somewhat cynical judge of songwriters. I flinch easily. But when I heard "My New Book" from The Poet Game on NPR one day, I had to stop and stay in my car until it was done. Simply his best work overall, with nary a misstep or excessively sentimental turn. "64 Dodge" is a masterpiece - it talks about nothing and says everything. Yes, yes. This is the stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think Blood on the Tracks, Think Living With Ghosts, August 22, 2002

One of the best albums, ever. The songs all stand alone and all stand together. An album that's all regional and all universal. Bob Dylan probably fantasizes that he is Greg Brown. Although I am not particularly partial to the singer/songwriter genre, some albums just shine through all the navel lint and this one certainly does just that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two best cd's by Brown, July 17, 2001

I prefered Dream Cafe to this one, but only slightly. With these two cd's Brown is at the top of new folk music, and the singer songwriters revival. Great music and great lyrics. You ow these two cd's to yourself after a hard day's work.
