Duncan Browne - Duncan Browne (1973)

Duncan Browne’s style of guitar playing would be immediately categorized as remarkable even to someone who does not spend much time listening to music. Browne glides between a slew of impressive folk and classical style picking on his second album released by British label Rak Records in 1973. At times Duncan Browne catches you in prog-y spiderwebs before quickly sweeping you away through cozy, warm pieces about islands and hunkering down for the winter. Thank god, while showcasing a variety of styles, Browne’s second album is not a mishmashed attempt at proving he's some sort of jack-of-all-trades chameleon. I find it incredibly trying when artists approach albums with more of a concern for showmanship than content; It has never impressed me. (Side note: I think it was a genius idea when The Rolling Stones put all the rock’n’roll songs on side A of Tattoo You and the moody, more R&B flavored songs on side B). 

Duncan Browne keeps you on your toes. Lyrically a very enjoyable album full of short stories- the music almost always taking a backseat to allow you to easily decipher Browne's tales. The album hasn’t been repressed since its early ‘70′s release so it goes for a good chunk of change if you can find a copy of it. 

The album opens with some ominous, descending, plucked chords before sucking you into an acoustic prog whirlpool. I don’t know why Browne wanted to open the album like this, and I’m not sure why he ends the album in a similar manner. “Ragged Rain Life” just sets a strange tone that had me thinking this was going to be a spazzy, prog-folk record full of noodling and goofy lyrics, which it is not at all. 

The piano-guided “Cast No Shadow” opens similarly to River by Joni Mitchell and turns into a wondeful Simon and Garfunkel-tinged cautionary tale from the perspective of a friend guiding a weary companion out of a depression. I was taken aback by just how beautiful this song is and didn't really see it coming. Most people would never, ever put these songs on the same album. I don’t intend to make it sound like Browne unnecessarily stuffed the record to show just how much he can do (see paragraph 1) but he should have never included the first and last tracks. 

“Country Song” sounds like a long-lost Paul McCartney song. This comparison came up again for me on track four “My Only Son” where Browne had me wondering “Did he actually pull this vocal melody from some Paul McCartney song I haven’t heard yet?” It is too good. The track is seemingly religious but not preachy or over the top- more God's Children than With Arms Wide Open. 

Halfway through the album Browne starts to putter out a little with a Nilsson-like song that is pretty give or take but he rejuvenates things with “Journey”. With “Journey” I wondered for the first time how Duncan Browne would sound if he was backed by a full band and soon after the song starts there is a backdrop of drums, claps, synth and vocal accompaniment that fall in, giving the track a bit of a Beach Boys studio band treatment.

For me, Browne's talents as a guitarist, storyteller, melodist and artist are made most apparent on “Over the Reef”. The pleasant, romantic, breezy track is a perfect late-night oceanic snapshot. I want to visit whichever tropical places Duncan Browne went to inspire him to write this track. “Over the Reef” is melancholy, unembellished and transcendent. The song is now one of my all-time favorites.

Duncan Browne begins with the not so pleasant up and down, folk/prog dynamics of “Ragged Rain Life” and closes with the similar up and down of “Last Man Around”. The siren-like chorus that comes out of left-field is such a terrible way to end an otherwise beautiful, balmy record. I loved this album, I have probably listened to it five or six times in the past two days while biking to work, at work and when returning home. But, a word to the wise: if you listen to this album, just skip the first and last songs. 

Rating: 8/10

Favorites: Over the Reef, The Martlet, Country Song, Cast No Shadow
