The only work Tony Brown (who is not the Nashville producer of the same name) did with Bob Dylan was the New York Sessions of Blood On The tracks, and the various outtakes that appeared on Biograph and the Bootleg Series. He was the bass player for Eric Weissberg and Deliverance, though after the first session for the album, he was the only member of the group asked to remain for the other sessions. Deliverance recorded one album for Warner Brothers and one single for Epic. Tony Brown also toured with Happy and Artie Traum and recorded with the Woodstock Mountain Revue on the Mud Acres Album, which included the Traums, Maria Muldaur, John Herald and many other musicians. He also toured and recorded with Eric Andersen appearing on his Sweet Surprise album and with guitarist Arlen Roth. He is no longer involved in the music business. -- "I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity." --Bob Dylan Peter Stone Brown
