Brown Bird - One Brown Minute

Review by Andy Seguin

One Brown Minute is an exceptional album by Brown Bird that showcases their unique blend of Americana, folk, and blues. The album features 10 tracks that are filled with poignant lyrics, soulful harmonies, and intricate instrumentation. The duo's signature sound is evident in every song, with David Lamb's raw vocals and guitar playing perfectly complemented by MorganEve Swain's haunting fiddle and cello arrangements.

The album opens with "Danger and Dread," a dark and brooding track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The following tracks, "Aloha Senor Mano" and "Fingers to the Bone," are more upbeat and showcase the duo's ability to weave together different musical styles. Other standout tracks include "Wrong Black Mare," "Bilgewater," and "Sickle and Hood," which all feature intricate arrangements and heartfelt lyrics.
