The Evening Call, Greg Brown, 2006, :56
★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
I've been a long-time fan of Greg Brown's often brilliant work, so I looked forward to this one eagerly. I hate to give two stars to an album by someone of Brown's stature, but that's what my impression was. Sludgy and slow, with too little of the wry wit that makes his material so enticing. Favorite track: the spoken word chant of "Eugene" stands out in my memory.
