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 (1968),[1] and features progressive rock and electronic music elements.[2]

The album spawned the Bob Dylan-inspired hit single "Journey", which peaked at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] 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.[1] Since then, the album has garnered a cult following among folk rock fans and is now considered a "lost classic" from the era.[citation needed]

Duncan Browne was reissued by EMI in 2002, with four additional bonus tracks.[2]
