Jackie Greene May 3, 2011

Maybe you’ve heard that he’s the new Dylan. Or that Phil Lesh loves his playing so much that when the surviving members of The Grateful Dead reunited to play for Barack Obama in February 2008, Greene was playing with the band. Either way, Jackie Greene has had an impressive six-year career. His creativity and self-control as a folk singer mind-blowing control over the electric guitar, Hammond organ and the piano make him one of the most interesting songwriters touring today. New Dylan or not, Jackie Greene might need the Klein next time he plays FTC.

About Giving Up the Ghost: “the thought occurs that there may not be a better (or bigger) sounding album in 2008. Sounds billow from the speakers in an intricate weave of guitars, keyboards, vocals and judiciously placed horns, as a synth bubbles to the surface. this entire recording a triumph.” -Glide Magazine
