Johnny Cash marries Leonard Cohen, the divorce album.
I am a singer/songwriter from Seattle, having relocated in November of 2006 from Flagstaff, Arizona.
Field recordings from a barren field of old oak flooring, bedroom for a barn. Suicide blues. The cows make it home, after many trials and tribulations, but the cowboy's habit is hard to break.

"Piercingly sad." Lierre Keith
"...Your music is like oil stains on concrete that was poured over what once was a crop of barley where now, just one lil' sprig of green drives it's way through the crack in the black spot." Universalia Jane
"great stuff craig, we browns are a rare breed..i can imagine listening to you stuff looking over an icy cold loch drinking petrol from an empty beans can." Craig Brown (not me, a different one!) http://www.myspace.com/twiceshybiteback
"But I have listened to it and I'm blown away. Johnny Cash, Nick Drake, Nick Cave spring to mind but most of all I hear you and it's great. I take it in small chunks. There seems to be a lot of pain and hurt there and until I get my meds increased I can only take so much at a time. It's too bad Johnny Cash died, your songs would have been perfect for him." Michael Baker
"It all started out when I got the demo from Craig Brown, my brother from another mother. I won't go into it but our history is woven together with yarn, disease love and respect. Craig Brown writes some of the hardest lyrics to ever hit the page. I'm not just blowing smoke up his ass either. The song writing comes from the self taught fuck you and fuck me, you're not supposed to do that category, and the lyrics knock your genitals into the dirt." Greg Dale, Sorrow Town Choir
