The folksinging duo Brown and Dana recorded an album
for MGM in the '60's and toured the country, performing at more than
a hundred colleges and folk clubs. They are being rediscovered by college students
digging back through folk archives, and more and more iPods have
a Brown and Dana tune or two on the playlist. Their recordings
of It Was A Very Good Year (which may have inspired Frank Sinatra's
later version); Wanderin', sung by Al Dana(later recorded by James
Taylor); and great original guitar and banjo work by Garrett Brown
have made them todays "Best-known obscure folk group" according
to online folk DJ Ken at Shady Grove Radio, who said, on his broadcast,
January 15, 2006: "The featured artists are Brown & Dana
and their album, It Was A Very Good Year, from 1963. I think you'll
really appreciate these guys as their harmony is exceptional! ...Enjoy!"
Oddly enough, their rediscovery was prefigured in Korea, where many
websites feature their work. Check out their amazing album
here: Brown & Dana It was a Very Good Year
(MGM 4153 c. 1963) |
