''Covenant'' is an album by American folk singer/guitarist Greg Brown, released in 2000. It was released only a few months after ''Over and Under''. "Rexroth's Daughter" was later covered by Joan Baez on her album ''Dark Chords on a Big Guitar''. After the album's official end there is a "hidden" track titled "Marriage Chant". ==Reception== Music critic Jeff Burger praised the release in his Allmusic review, writing Brown "remains a national treasure, and so does his songwriting, which has gone from great to better over the years. Wisely keeping the production simple and his voice upfront on this release, he unveils some of his best songs about love, life, friendship, dreams, and the American scene."〔 Jim Musser of ''No Depression'' called Brown "a remarkable artist whose peak powers apparently reside somewhere between the present and the next time out."〔 John Kenyon added ''Covenant'' (and ''Over and Under'') to his list of the Top 10 of 2000, writing "A parochial pick, to be sure, but that doesn’t lessen its value. Brown is a buried treasure of sorts... he sings about both the loss of and search for love on songs that are the most accomplished of his career."〔 Writing for ''Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange'', Moshe Benarroch highly praised the first two songs, "'Cept You and Me, Babe", and "Rexwroth's Daughter", but dismissed the rest of the album, writing "with song after song we get just second-rate 60's and 70's songs. Although these are all original songs, they sound like covers of any rhythm and blues band from that period... a mediocre album that will appeal more to convinced fans than to newcomers."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Covenant (Greg Brown album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
