author: Allan Greyson (Super Sounds Inc.)Mr. Brown shows me that the "old school" approach Of composing memorable tunes and clever lyrics still exists. I'm guessing from his bio that he's not a kid,and while some music people may see this as a drawback,I see it as someone who was cutting his teeth on great songs and songwriters who are sadly missed today. Bravo!

I love this CD. Lead Rope is my favorite song on this album, and it is a beautiful tribute to Sammy's two daughters.

author: JuliaI grew up to this music and never really thought of it being what it really is, and now that I am old enoughf to relly listen and apprecite it, I support my father through his sucess. GOOD JOB!
The lyrics & melodies paint stories of familiarities .
author: Rob Brannock "The Wave"The first listen to this I was hooked. I was able to focus on the message without analyzing the content. I found myself taken from place to place. Way Down brought me to the bar room & allowed me to appreciate all of its glory & the thrill of its pain. Colder Days of Gray bringing an honest look into a fairy tale minded world. Lead Ropes sincere message of love galloping into its trotting melodies only to bring me back moments of unconditional guidance. The Stephen Stillsish Wood & Steel clearly demonsrtate this song writers versatility. Lastly, coming from someone who experienced a house fire, Up in Smoke is nothing short of magical. If fire has not touched your life in anyway after one listen you can board that bus. This is why we listen to music, to connect, isnt it?Where can I find more songwriters like this. That my friends is the question!

Berkshires Week Sammy Brown Berkshire singer-songwriter Sammy Brown has a long, eclectic resume in the music business, including stints with the likes of Kenny Rankin, Sally Struthers, Livingston Taylor and Pure Prairie League, among others. He's called California and Austin home at different times, and he has fronted a country band and sung for radio and TV commercials. All this varied experience is somehow channeled into the songs on "Kissing Booth," Brown's latest, self-released CD, recorded at various locations in the Berkshires and mastered at Off the Beat-n-Track Studios in Southfield. The CD of a baker's dozen original, classic-style pop-rock and folk songs ranges from the James Taylor-like "This Angel’s Time" to the Byrds-like folk-rock of "Morning Sun," from the traditional-style folk ballad, “Strong Wind” to the Buddy Holly-meets-the-Beatles pop of “California Fell.” Brown works in a little honkytonk swing into “Another Way,” while “Wood and Steel” recalls the English folk-rock of Fairport Convention or Richard Thompson, even as the lyrics invoke Lou Reed. Brown is something of a one-man band, handling multiple instrumental chores on guitar, bass, keyboards, harmonica, banjo, and drums, but he also gets occasional help from drummer Andrew Crawford and guitarist Jeff Crawford. Brown performs tonight at Armi's in Great Barrington at 10 on a co-bill with singer-songwriter Hal Lefferts.
