Artist Bio:
Discussing the latest release of Giving Up the Ghost, his fifth
album and first on 429 Records, Jackie Greene – singer and songwriter,
guitarist and keyboard player, acoustic solo artist and electrifying
band leader – hesitates to spell things out too much.
“Could
we leave some questions unanswered?” he asks. “So people can make up
their own minds about things?” Many people have already made up their
minds about Jackie Greene, the Americana phenom from Sacramento who
made his first album only six years ago and has steadily built up a
passionate following among both rank-and-file fans and some of the
biggest names in music.
Nevertheless,
Greene himself is less and less keen on defining himself in a world
that wants him to be its latest “New Dylan.” Instead, 27-year-old
Greene is thinking big - about death or, more accurately,
transformation. He named his new, game-changing album Giving Up the
Ghost for a reason. “The phrase refers to the destruction of certain
notions and practices that I used to hold in high esteem,” he says.
“I'm just sorta sick of being the kid with the harmonica rack. I don't
want to be Bob Dylan.”
And as
he prepares his band to head out for another year of serious touring,
Greene is giving himself and his band the same sort of license he gave
himself as a songwriter. “The recording is the recording, and the live
show is the live show, and in my mind that's different, it sounds way
different, and that's good,” he says. “Live is still the best way to
experience music, because it's pretty pure. If you want to hear
something the same way over and over, you can listen to the record, but
if you want to hear the song, you go hear it live. You might get a
fucked-up version of the song, I might play it on the piano instead,
and it might not work, but that's just how it goes.”
