Greg Brown - The Poet Game

pbnaudio.... can you tell me if the vinyl is better than the CD?  Thanks

VPI used the first tune as background music on his older website...that's where I found it, bought the CD and play it often.

Excellent recording, have it on Vinyl too, its in the frequent rotation stack 


Good Listening

Yes, there's a lot for a boy to think about as he walks along the railroad tracks.
Love it. Cheers,

Yes, this is a terrific recording.  The lyrics, in particular are amazingly thoughtful.  I particularly like the title track (about the seeming power of words, but, ultimate impotence of words), and Brand New '64 Dodge (about the loss of innocence following the Kennedy assassination).  

The sound quality is VERY good on CD, but, it actually sounds considerably better on the original vinyl release.  That is a record worth hunting for just for the sound alone.

Big talent, as is his wife Iris Dement.

I haven't listened to it in quite a while but I used to enjoy it frequently. I think my favorite cut is "Brand New '64 Dodge", but "Boomtown" is pretty good too.... Good record.......
