Album notes
Bill Morrissey's collaboration with long-time friend and fellow folk singer Greg Brown is an easy-going collection of cover tunes and little known numbers. Taken as a breather between Morrissey's meticulous releases, the album is inviting in its casual offhand feel. That the two would gel together on record is a bit of a surprise considering their differences. Where Morrissey is clipped, Brown is freewheeling. Where Morrissey is painstaking, Brown is spontaneous. And perhaps most importantly, where Morrissey's voice sounds like a fistful of cracked dirt, Brown possesses a rich rumble. The joy then, is in the marriage of these disparate styles. From the plaintive "The Road" to the raucous hum of "Memphis Tennessee, the two singers are as relaxed as friends should be. The album's success is just as much Brown's as it is Morrissey's. Indeed his mournful reading of The Rolling Stones' late '60s anthem "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is startling, and has the feel of digging deeply into the futility of the by-gone era. With stark accompaniment, Brown somehow furrows even more sorrow and weariness than Jagger did with a full choir behind him.
