Jim Green (solo)

Jim Green is a Melbourne guitarist/singer steeped in the Irish/Australian storytelling tradition. Lively finger-style guitar picking meets smooth melodic singing in stories of lost ships, great escapes and the lure of the ocean. A well known vocalist/instrumentalist in the Melbourne band scene, Jim has played with The Rambling Roses (featuring Luke Plumb), The Gleaners (a lively instrumental/dance group) and the Ramshackles Blues Band.

These eleven songs have come from a period spanning ten years, including nine share houses and eight bands. In one way they form an anthology of this time, reflecting some of the musical (and other) influences I've come under. It's a privilege to have worked with the musicians who contributed to this album; sincere thanks to all of them. Warm

One warm night Pete, Jim, Maree & Rach dragged a bottle of champagne, a ukulele and some aeroquard to the top of Mount Sugarloaf in Camperdown to see in the New Year. Sweet harmonies were the fixture of the night and an idea was born for an album recorded and sung in the same spirit.

Three years later, after many a gig, rehearsal and recording session had passed, Pete sat down to write the last song for the album entitled New Year's Eve. After a few minutes the song was finished, there was no redraft or deliberation. It simply told the story and captured the essence of that first night; we had come back to the place we had started out and knew that the album was complete.
