Greg Brown is a folk musician from Iowa, USA. His “Iowa Waltz” has been (unsuccessfully) proposed to replace the state song of Iowa.

During the 1980s, his reputation was established through frequent touring and recurring performances on A Prairie Home Companion. Subsequently, his work has been nominated for Grammy awards. He also founded his own record label and named it Red House Records after a home he lived in in Iowa.

On November 21, 2002 he married the singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. His daughters (from a previous marriage) are also musicians.

Sometimes an artist or label will permit last.fm to stream and/or provide a download for certain full-length tracks and that skews the statistics. That might explain why Blue Car is so high in the lists.

I agree with wolf_girl below... Canned Goods is my absolute favorite Greg Brown song. I am going to see him on the free stage at the Minnesota State Fair next month, can't wait!

Yeah, I don't get Blue Car at the top of the list either ... and no Banjo Moon? Seriously, Greg Brown is one of the best songwriters I've ever heard. Love is a Chain ...

I think that 'Further In' is a masterpiece.
