For Brown, a recent cancer survivor, Stars&Curses is a victory lap. Deli Magazine says. "... evokes "Mind Games" Lennon to the lighter side of My Morning Jacket." and Performing Songwriter calls Stars&Curses "..awash with atmosphere, ... all shimmer and seduction."
Produced by Will Golden (Meiko, Gary Jules, Buddy), the record features guest turns from some great musicians, including David Immergluck (Counting Crows) and Ollie Kraus (Sia, Tom McCrae).
Says Brown, “We really took our time and were able to have all these great players come in. Will and I had talked long ago about doing some work together, but the timing had never worked out. Thankfully, this time it did.”
Stars&Curses is available online at the itunes store and at cdbaby.
