Not to split hairs but this, Greg Brown's second release, was recorded in 1981, making it a few years older than 30.

Iowa songwriter Greg Brown has made a loose and lengthy Sunday-morning album of original, non-traditional hymns touching on life, love and death.

Nobody does lonely like Greg Brown, whose spare, night-sweat confessionals spill out in ahypnotic baritone bass alternately filled with bourbon and blood.On Covenant, between talking to God and pondering the murderer next door, hehits his stride on "Living in a Prayer" and "Dream City," twoparanoiac blues numbers driven by the fevered desire for anunobtainable woman.

Throughout most of his six previous albums, especially In the Dark With You and One More Goodnight Kiss, Greg Brown gave us wise, intimate, often humorous songs about the hard but good life in small-town America. He portrayed families and neighbors linked together in compassion and camaraderie. One Big Town presents a bleaker vision...
