Good old fashioned story telling put to music. An amazing song to hear him perform live. He really imbues the lyrics with his sense of humor. Snowy day here in Michigan. I sure could use a little taste of summer!
An early favorite of Greg's, brings back a lot of memories from the early days of Prairie home. Sometimes I would listen to the show just hear his segment.
Is there ANY way I could get this version of the song? I have purchased and perused Greg Brown's catalogue, but haven't found it! Could you please e-mail me at adamjstout@yahoo.com ? I would be very grateful for help in the search. Also, big thanks for the video.
Greg Brown can and does make daily life sound so good, so sacred. Whenever I get cynical (often), I listen to Greg and he makes me yearn for an America I once believe existed.
This is the first - and best - version of Canned Goods that I ever heard - it was on PHC back when we used to tape the show each week and learn all the Greg Brown tunes when he was the Chairman of the Department of Folk Songs. Excellent video adaptation, thank you very much!

I've seen Greg Brown in concert several times. It's always a pleasure. When my wife first heard him in a music store she began to cry. Me too.

It is an awesome version! I cannot find the 13:00 minute one from "the live one" I have it on CD but that is so old school. "And we were free, free"
