- Brownsville_Girl abstract ""Brownsville Girl" is a song from Bob Dylan's 1986 album, Knocked Out Loaded. It is notable for its eleven-minute and 5 second length and for being co-written by playwright Sam Shepard. The song is a rerecorded version of an outtake from the Empire Burlesque sessions and was originally called New Danville Girl.While as an album Knocked Out Loaded was poorly received upon release, Brownsville Girl is considered one of Dylan's best pieces by some critics. Music critic Robert Christgau praised Brownsville Girl as "one of the greatest and most ridiculous of Dylan's great ridiculous epics. Doesn't matter who came up with such lines as 'She said even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt' and 'I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran' — they're classic Dylan."Lyrically the song speaks to a lover, presumably one gone years before. The singer speaks wistfully of her, though is clear to add he is with someone else now, and muses that she reminds him of her (he says she has the same "dark rhythm in her soul").Often the singer interrupts his reminisces of the mysterious Brownsville Girl to describe the plot of a Western movie starring Gregory Peck that he saw once (but believes he 'sat through it twice'). The plot of the film, about a young upstart who shoots an aging gunslinger, and then is warned by the dying man that now he must watch his own back, is almost certainly 1950's The Gunfighter. Most likely, the song refers to multiple Gregory Peck films, as 1946's Duel in the Sun is about two brothers in Texas fighting for the love of dark beauty Pearl Chavez, and Dylan says once of a Peck movie, "you know, it's not the one that I had in mind." The backup singers aren't just scenery here; they seem quite active. Not only do they perform the long song's haunting chorus ("Brownsville girl\ With your Brownsville curl...."), but sardonically interject their own replies, such as "Oh, yeah?", and, at one point, they let go a three-part harmonized anguished howl of pain.Will Oldham (aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy) is the only major musician known to have covered "Brownsville Girl", having played it at a benefit concert at Actors Theatre in Louisville on November 11, 2012Dylan has only performed it once, on August 6, 1986. An early version of the song exists, recorded for his previous album 1985's Empire Burlesque, is occasionally found in bootleg recordings and is called "New Danville Girl". A song titled "Danville Girl" had been recorded by Woody Guthrie, a major inspiration of Dylan's, and included the lyrics "Got stuck on a Danville girl ... she wore that Danville curl".".
