Reviews:

"Little Courage" is what we all can use more of now and that's just the name of Jacob Greens latest album. Listen to this talented singer/songwriter and skillful guitar player on this weeks "Bay Whalin Hour"  Wendy Hladick, Alaskan Public Radio

"As far as roots, folk and blues music goes, Green does a terrific job on his own and manages to carry a lot of energy mixed with solid musicianship" - Paul White, The Reader Newspaper

“If you like to travel, if you like to get inspiration, Jacob Green’s music is the right way to get that. The national touring musician Jacob Green is no stranger to the road" - James Richard, Calling All Gigs

“At first glance, the title of the album has a negative feel to it. Since it was released in the pandemic, it feels particularly hopeless. Jacob’s idea of the title effectively counters that feeling. “It’s also like saying, ‘we can be limitless in whatever we choose.’ In some ways we’re way too extreme; we’re too positive or too negative. The point is to recognize that. Hearing the phrase ‘no end in sight’ can seem kind of negative, but it’s more about perspective.””

Phil Franklin, Big Heavy World | Rocket Shop Radio
