Giving Up the Ghost

Aptly described by the New York Times as the "Prince of Americana" for the extraordinary breadth and variety of his talents in performing, arranging, and songwriting, Jackie Greene delivered another ace addition to his catalog with 2008's GIVING UP THE GHOST, his fifth full-length and 429 Records debut. Between the stomping "Follow You" and the hauntingly restrained "Prayer for Spanish Harlem," there appears to be very little Greene cannot do with a guitar and a few chords.
