Archive material and source history
Greg Brown is a folk singer-songwriter from Iowa who started writing songs young, influenced by bluegrass and country music from his household. He moved to Minneapolis in the late 1960s, which was a hub for folk music at the time. His 1980 album "The Iowa Waltz" brought wider attention, featuring the ballad "Who Killed Cock Robin?" which became one of his notable songs.
He has released over 25 studio albums, including "Dream City" in 1985 and "The Well" in 2000. Other songs in his catalog include "'Cept You & Me, Babe" and "(I Sure Hope the) Tornado (Don't Come)".
Brown has performed with pianist John Gorka and other musicians like Bo Ramsey on bass. His music has been covered by artists including Emmylou Harris and John Prine. He has faced personal challenges with addiction and depression, finding some peace through music and his connections to family and community.
