Album Notes

"Melissa Greener is one of those rare artists who appear on the scene with all their talents maturely developed. Blessed with a glorious, outsized, and utterly distinctive voice, the Detroit native and Austin, Texas, resident is also an accomplished guitarist whose powerful acoustic flat-picking is rooted in blues and folk. An arresting songwriter, she uses highly literate, vivid imagery to take typical youthful concerns like love and identity beyond familiar territory. The music itself, strikingly original and impressively varied, features strong, catchy melodies in strange and brooding voicings. This may be her debut CD, but Melissa Greener is already a pro."
Celine Keating - Acoustic Guitar Magazine


"Melissa has the package. Lovely melodies, a beautiful voice and a
stunning stage presence. But, what tops the cake are her excellent
guitar skills. She creates memorable arrangements that definitely
rise above the crowd."
Roger Allen - KGSR, Austin, Texas


"Melissa Greener - Heiress to modern folk-rock territory blazed by Ani, Dar and Lucy, Enveloping the listerner with a warm confident voice and lyrical intrigue. The soul of a poet, the rhythm of a rocker!”
Michael Terry - Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse, Dallas, Texas

REVIEWS

beautiful debut...
author: Janice Foote
I have heard of Melissa through MySpace for a while now (4 of her songs are on it). She finally played live at Banjo Jim's (an awesome venue) in NYC, where I picked up this cd of hers. I totally love it!!! Her guitar playing/skills are amazing and her vocals are beautiful. I also enjoy her lyrical sensibility. And my favorite song off of this cd is "Fancy Free" (though I enjoy them all)!!! And most definitely I highly recommend picking up this cd.

There is something to be said about orginality that sneaks up on you..
author: Del Vezeau - The Canadian Guitar Festival
Melissa Greener has a great voice; to be sure, but her song craft is what I found to be most striking. Hers is the kind that grows on you upon the 2nd listen; there are moments when I hear an artist being an artist and there are moments when I hear an artist doubling as a producer, Greener is an artist on a well produced record.

This is a MUST LISTEN CD!!
author: Jim Whelan
Melissa's lyrics are poignant and well crafted, and she is an accomplished guitar player as well. The Long Road Down is one of my favorites. This CD should be in your player!! Watch out for this rising star.
