5.0 out of 5 stars What a great album!, April 24, 2008
By Olah Imre Peter „folkmusic“ (Hungary) – See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I only can second all the previous reviews. This is an awesome record with a lot of variety in it. I only have Rusty Nails and 4 songs from American Myth but I think that Greene is a songwriter always evolving and pushing the envelope further.
He’s different but I could compare him to Josh Ritter ‚cause there’s a lot of similarities in how their music evolves from album to album.
What can I say, as soon as my next salary arrives on my bank account I’ll have to order his whole catalogue :)
And I really do hope that he comes over for a nice little club-tour to Europe!
Thank You for that great music Jackie!
A fan of yours from the small Hungary.“

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing CD, April 28, 2008

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
it will distinguish Jackie Greene as a talent to be reckoned with. Jackie Greene, „Giving Up the Ghost“, 429 Records, 2008.
An Amazing CD
Amos Lassen
I must admit that I had never heard of Jackie Greene before I heard this CD and I am now a staunch fan. His style, for lack of a better word, perhaps creations would better suit him, range from ballads to blues to rock to folk. It is hard to label him as he is so at home with any genre of music it seems. His music is full of adventure and he uses a wide array of instruments. Diversity rules the CD; every song has a different kind of sound and none of the songs disappoint. The album is big and full and polished. He is not only talented as an artist but equally as a song writer.
What really impresses me about this album is the range of emotions heard the songs. „Like a Ball and Chain“ is upbeat while „Prayer for Spanish Harlem“ is sincere and beautiful. The entire album is marked by a freshness which we have not had in pop music for a long time and the music is layered and lush. This is album that will distinguish Jackie Greene as a talent to be reckoned with.“
