Greene Jackie: Giving Up The Ghost

180 GRAM VINYL GATEFOLD LP JACKET DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CARD
At age 27 Giving Up the Ghost is Jackie Greenes fifth album giving him more experience than musicians decades his senior. Nevertheless hes assembled an all-star supporting cast including the Grateful Deads Phil Lesh Greene actually played guitar for Leshs tour back in 2007 and Dave Hidalgo Los Lobos who shows up to lend a hand on guitar and accordion. The album covers a variety of musical genres most potently on Dont Let the Devil Take Your Mind Greenes self-proclaimed disco-gospel number. Now these are two things that in theory sound horrible when paired but in practice they combine like bourbon and mint to produce something unexpectedly irresistible: Well theres no one man among us / Who is safe from the Sirens call / Temptations like a crooked finger / Calling for us all. Its a little bit Debbie Harry a little bit Robert Johnson and a whole lot of awesome all wrapped up in a four-minute package. Oh and Dave Hidalgo throws in a face-melting guitar solo just to up the Awesome Quotient some more. Ball and Chain has Greene sounding like Mick Jagger when he was at the top of his game way back when the earth was still cooling the game of course being ripping off classic blues artists. Prayer for Spanish Harlem almost qualifies as shoegaze thanks to fuzzy guitars and whispered vocals. For Uphill Mountain Greene switches genres yet again to arrive at a folksy guitar-and-harmonica midtempo song that cites American legends Cassius Clay John Henry and blues musician Big Joe Turner while dispensing non-advice like Better stand tall if youre gonna stand it all / And if youre gonna fall well you might as well fall.
