I'd give it a 'Ho-Hum'... but honestly, I don't want to hum this repetitive, unoriginal musical 'doodle'.

Greg Brown really has the art of painting vignettes down tight. I love his song about putting summer up in Mason jars for a winter's evening.

I like sleeping with Marie
She is one sexy girl full of mystery
She says she doesn't love me but she likes my company
For now that's good enough for me

Outstanding singer/songwriter, right up there with the best story song writers. This one is growing on me: Dream Cafe, is it anywhere near the Field of Dreams? "Is this Heaven? No, its Iowa."  |

Buddy just saw Greg Brown playing in St. Paul MN a few weeks ago. He book-ended his show with 2 songs from this album. This song and "You Drive Me Crazy." Pretty cool to pull material from work you did 16 years ago.

Nothing original about that.
Someone calling this songwriter mediocre defines a juvenile ear. Comment again in about twenty years. |

This might be his most "produced" song, he generally just goes it alone with a guitar. Great live performer.

My favorite is "Poet Game" But anything from Dream Cafe through Covenant is golden. |
