Beloved by fans of quality singer-songwriter roots music, but still far from a household name, Greg Brown has been releasing excellent records on indie labels for decades. For the uninitiated, this compilation culling from five different late-career albums is a good starting point, and followers will want to hear the four bonus tracks of unreleased material.
