IF I HAD KNOWN is carefully assembled and sequenced, and has the overall feel of a mixtape created by a knowledgeable fan of Greg Brown's low-key, literary roots-folk for a friend unfamiliar with the Iowa-based singer-songwriter's work. It lacks the rarities or unreleased tracks that might be primarily of interest to devoted fans, but it does contain all of the beloved favorites such as "Worrisome Years" and "Laughing River." The two-disc limited edition deluxe version adds a DVD containing a documentary about Greg Brown originally produced in 1993, featuring interview footage, live performances and testimonials by well-known fans.
