Jackie Greene - The Dig Years 2001-2005 (2007)

From coffee houses in the tiny Northern California town of Placerville to the open-mics of downtown Sacramento, Jackie Greene made the giant leap to nationally-known recording artist in just a few short years. Now signed to a major recording label, and touring throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, Mr. Greene can look back on a pretty impressive resume for a young man of only 26 years. His first DIG Music release, Gone Wanderin won the California Music Award for 'Best Blues/Roots Album' and over the next four years he continued to amass a critically acclaimed catalog of recordings that included four albums and a DVD. The DIG Years is a retrospective of the music that launched Greenes storied career. Included is an even dozen of Jackies most requested songs, plus 6 never-before-released tunes, making this not only a wonderful snapshot of one of Americas fastest rising starts, but a chance for fans, collectors, and the newly initiated to own a true piece of Americana.
