Duncan Browne (album)
Duncan Browne is the self-titled second studio album by English singer-songwriter and musician Duncan Browne, released in 1973 through Mickie Most's Rak Records. Stylistically, the album is a continuation of Browne's folk-indebted debut album, Give Me Take You, and features progressive rock and electronic music elements.
The album spawned the Bob Dylan-inspired hit single "Journey", which peaked at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart. Nevertheless, both the album and the single were considered commercially unsuccessful for a follow-up recording, which prompted Browne to spend the next several years as a session musician.
Duncan Browne was reissued by EMI in 2002, with four additional bonus tracks.
Critical reception
critic Bruce Eder praised the album, stating: "Even overlooking its own intrinsic merits, Duncan Browne is worth owning as a more mature and developed, if slightly less spontaneous, expression of the sensibilities that forged Give Me Take You."Track listing
