Greg Brown is a folk musician from Iowa, USA. His “Iowa Waltz” has been (unsuccessfully) proposed to replace the state song of Iowa.

During the 1980s, his reputation was established through frequent touring and recurring performances on A Prairie Home Companion. Subsequently, his work has been nominated for Grammy awards. He also founded his own record label and named it Red House Records after a home he lived in in Iowa. Red House Records is an independent record label specializing in folk music, based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Well known folk artists have signed with Red House Records over the years include Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Tom Paxton and Loudin Wainwright III. A Red House Records compilation, A Nod to Bob, was said to be a tribute from a Minnesota label to a favorite native son - guess who?

On November 21, 2002 he married the singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. His daughters (from a previous marriage) are also musicians.

I really want to see Greg live. I'm sure he's just as amazing live, if not more so.

I get why Covenant is in the top 4 most listened to albums but not the other 3. Don't get me wrong all of them are great, but people need to be listening to Further In, Milk Of The Moon, Slant 6 Mind, and The Evening Call more.

Album; The Live One is such a joy. Song; Spring Wind is a beautiful song. I second SmilinSkullRing: Criminally unrecognized.

Great stuff... I caught Greg in Park City, UT about 4 years ago... His live version of Ani DiFranco's "Fuck You" was one of the more magical moments I have ever experienced at a concert. Just fantastic... I wish I could find a recording of it.

I love this stuff..."Not High" is my vibe. I've seen him a few times, though I was too young to remember :-(

Sometimes an artist or label will permit last.fm to stream and/or provide a download for certain full-length tracks and that skews the statistics. That might explain why Blue Car is so high in the lists.

I agree with wolf_girl below... Canned Goods is my absolute favorite Greg Brown song. I am going to see him on the free stage at the Minnesota State Fair next month, can't wait!
