Certainly, it would be hard to imagine a better tribute than this one, which features consistently top-notch performances by both well-known and obscure female singer/songwriters. Most of Brown's best tracks are here, and they convey the full range of his talent -- the indelible melodies, the eye for detail, the ability to convey emotion, and the humor that runs through much of his work. Among the highlights: Lucinda Williams' reading of "Lately," which sounds so perfectly matched to her style that it could have been issued from her pen; Iris Dement's cover of "The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home," one of several tracks here that has the same sort of timeless feeling you get from the Band's music; and Shawn Colvin's lovely take on the lilting "Say a Little Prayer." ~ Jeff Burger | | Modern folk singer-songwriter Greg Brown has an impossibly deep, husky voice that delivers songs full of gritty, earthy images dredged up from the Middle American underbelly. Ostensibly not the most likely candidate for an all-female tribute album until you notice the strong thread of compassion and enduring humanity, not to mention simple, effective melody, running through his work. Accordingly, some of the finest ladies contemporaneously working in the "Americana" genre chime in here. | | Lucinda Williams delivers a moving, lost-love lament with heartbreaking ease. Country-folk songpoet Iris Dement, who would shortly wind up marrying Brown, takes on the country-icon tribute "The Train Carrying Jimmie Rodgers Home." Even with high-powered talents like Shawn Colvin, Victoria Williams, and Gillian Welch on hand, possibly the biggest compliment to Brown is how Ferron tackles "Where is Maria," given the fact that her own style was inspirational not only to that song, but to many in Brown's repertoire. |
