Editor's note

Jackie Greene, a California folk and blues songwriter

A steady voice in American roots music, from Salinas to later albums like 'Till the Light Comes'.

For a good sense of his sound, try 'Gettin' By' or 'Everything To Me'. They're straightforward, unadorned, and typical of what he does.

Greene's songs have a plainspoken quality that sticks with you. 'Gettin' By' and 'Always Remember' from his early albums feel lived-in, and the title track from '12' became a signature piece. He's kept writing through personal struggles, with recent sets including 'Gracie' and 'Freeport Boulevard'.

He started in Salinas, California, releasing 'Gone Wanderin'' in 2002 and 'Sweet Somewhere Bound' soon after. Later albums like '12' and 'The Way Back Home' followed, and he's played with Warren Haynes and Bob Weir at times. Greene has been open about mental health and substance issues, and took responsibility after a 2019 domestic violence incident.
