Our Take

Ah, the magic of a tribute album. A gathering of eclectic artists paying homage to a legendary figure in the music industry. In this case, it's the enigmatic Greg Brown, and his influence looms large on "Going Driftless: A Tribute to Greg Brown."

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Iris DeMent to the soulful crooning of Bo Ramsey, this album is a cornucopia of musical talent. Each artist brings their own unique flair to Brown's timeless songs, breathing new life into classics like "Iowa Waltz" and "Lullaby."

The standout track has to be Pieta Brown's rendition of "Driftless." With her ethereal voice and delicate guitar work, she captures the essence of the Driftless region that inspired Greg Brown's music.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this tribute album. Some tracks fall flat, failing to capture the raw emotion and authenticity that made Greg Brown a folk legend. You can't help but feel that some artists play it safe, sticking too closely to the original material.

Overall, "Going Driftless" is a heartfelt tribute to a musical pioneer. While it may not always hit the mark, the passion and talent on display make it a worthy addition to any music lover's collection. So sit back, press play, and let the soothing melodies of Greg Brown wash over you.
