GREG BROWN SONGBOOK
ACCORDING TO JEFFREY FOUCAULT
Mastodon Post
GREG BROWN – My dear friend and fishing companion, my deeply strange uncle and philosopher-poet correspondent, Greg Brown, has released a songbook, and it's fantastic. Necessarily incomplete and also unnerving – collecting forty songs from thirty-one albums and still somehow leaving out ten or twenty songs I would classify as perfect – the book is called Ring Around the Moon and it includes drawings, photos, and stories, as well as the lyrics and chords to songs so various, and so distinctly Greg's, as to form an undeniable document of an undeniable American soul. Go find it.

#StreetPhotography #SilentSunday Went to the farmer’s market. Found some of the remaining trompe-l’œil murals painted by #GregBrown. Unemployment was high in the mid-1970s, and the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) supported public service jobs, including grants to cities for hiring community artists.

Were y'all lucky enough to ride the Greg Brown train when he was in his prime?
His music captured much--folk, blues, rock, poetry set to music, politics, love & sex, rough & tumble, and this crazy mess we've created. I can't possibly do it justice in one toot.
If you missed out, start somewhere in the middle of his catalogue, and if you dig it, work forward and backward. Here's his grandma Ella Mae's poem set to music. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=L0mRFPgBScY #music #GregBrown #iowa #americana
I watched my country turn into
A coast-to-coast strip mall
And I cried out in a song:
If we could do all that in 30 years
Then please tell me you all —
Why does good change take so long?

Thank you for having an inspired memory and for the link to the track "Mose Allison Played Here"!
The lyrics are cynical and funny, and made me think of good ol' Tom Waits and a frontal lobotomy … wait, a bottle in front of me –
Tom Waits, "The Piano Has Been Drinking" (1976, live 1981)
(I also posted this back in Jan 2023, because I likes it …)
It was about a year after my divorce where I began to really understand how utterly maladroit pudgy middle-aged white guys were at basic living
I air guitar this song a lot
A slow, mellow, sometimes funny tune for a slow, mellow Sunday morning.
This is a 14 minute track, but if you have memories of drives out to the country to visit extended family as a kid, running free thru the fields & woods, or if this lyric means anything to you:
"You can taste a little of the summer
My grandma's put it all in jars."
this ballad might be as reminiscent for you as it is for me.
