Jackie Greene’s GONE WANDERIN’ Media Quotes
Rolling Stone’s Critics’ Choice List “Top Ten Best Album of 2002”
Winner of the California Music Awards
“Best Roots/Blues Album of 2003.”
”At a mere 22 years, Sacramento’s Jackie Greene has more old-soul in him than most musicians twice his age. He’s been tagged as a blues phenom, but his album reveals an effortless flair for Texas-and-Greenwich Village-style folk, hillbilly stomp, bar-band boogie woogie, or just about any roots-related genre he cares to try on for size. He’s a songwriter, plain and simple, and a superb one at that.”
-James Sullivan, San Francisco Chronicle
The show's peak [The 2004 Ann Arbor Folk Festival] came early with a stirring acoustic set from Jackie Greene. Greene is a mature, focused artist whose depth and understanding of music excels onstage. His taut, bluesy performance drew comparisons to an early Bob Dylan or Woody Guthrie. Receiving the largest ovation of the evening, Greene is marked by an innate ability for folk music and an overarching artistic accomplishment.”
-Alex Wolsky, Michigan Daily
“ There have been only two new artists in the past two years who have been astounding to me, better than the acts they opened for. Jackie Greene is one. Norah Jones is the other.”
-Dave Siglin, Executive Director, Ann Arbor Folk Festival
“The headliner is Susan Tedeschi, but the headturner is young Jackie Greene, who can not only rip on guitar and harmonica, but writes wonderful songs as well. His album reminds you that at the core, Bob Dylan is really a blues singer.”
- Michael Corcoran, Austin American-Statesman
“Jackie Greene is picking up the kind of press that can make a career. The title track, “Gone Wanderin” could well become a folk/pop standard with it’s breezy tempo and romantic view of the troubadour life.”
-j. poet, HARP Magazine
“With an unforced comfort unusual among new artists on small indie labels, young Jackie Greene offered an impressive batch of his above average Americana roots rock on this 2002 release. There is a world-weariness to his songs that might not seem fully earned given his age. But he sounds like he's feeling the emotions authentically enough, with a voice that blends country, rock, folk, and a bit of blues with as much ease as his music does... He can sometimes sound a little like a sweeter-voiced Bruce Springsteen though one plugged closer to folk sources than Springsteen.”
-Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
"As Music Director, I have to listen to hundreds of CDS, so when you get to an album that really stands above the rest, you take notice. Jackie Greene's GONE WANDERIN' is one of those albums. He fits right in with classic roots artists like Taj Mahal, J.J. Cale, Sam Bush, The Radiators."
-Skip Naft, KDNK, Carbondale, Colorado
“Like a crucible that melts down old phonograph records instead of metal ore, burning away the dross to reveal something newly purified and original, Greene draws on early-1960s Greenwich Village for inspiration. He is no garden-variety new Dylan, though; where Springsteen’s source material always seemed like it was brimming with old Phil Spector and Brill Building pop records (along with liberal helpings of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Chuck Berry), Greene mixes his wide-eyed folkie fixation with a surprising amount of hard-edged Texas-style electric blues, from Albert Collins to Stevie Ray Vaughan.”
-Jackson Griffith, Sacramento News & Review
"Jackie Greene's new CD "Gone Wanderin" sure feels good. It's like putting on a favorite pair of boots, or discovering a great new artist on a 60's underground radio show. While listening to the CD evokes images of Dylan, Van Morrison, Gram Parsons, "Gone Wanderin" is clearly Jackie's own take on Blues, Country, Folk and Rock. This guy has talent and soul. We sure will be hearing more from him.”
-Greg Martin
The Kentucky HeadHunters
Host of "The Lowdown Hoedown" (WDNS-FM, Bowling Green, KY)
” I listen to a whole lot of music every week, and you just don't often come upon a package like Jackie Greene's Gone Wanderin'. It rings clear and true: the songwriting, the vocals, the production. Jackie's been drinking deep from a well that belies his youth...I can hardly wait for the next installment.”
-Jessie Scott, Director/XM Radio
