A little about my music... I write about political issues, women's issues, love and platonic relationships, existential type questions, sex, spirituality and the why's and woah's of life.
I'm currently working on my third album which production-wise is heavily influenced by Dido and Seal.
Here is what some reviewers from Music Connection, Campus Circle, and Entertainment Today have said about me:
“her collection of songs comes together like an issue of Best American Short Stories”
“Green’s biggest asset is her powerful voice which falls somewhere between the styles of Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple”
"soulful vocalist who sells every word she sings."
"confessional lyrics, which don’t just empower the artist but also empower the listener as well"
"a smooth, entertaining combination of beauty and strength"
"packed with powerful writing, vocals, musicianship"
"often prowling the stage, she is a striking figure"
"riveting, incisive lyrics"
"an exercise in inventive artistry"
"a genuine zest for performing”
“even the folks lingering in the back of the room couldn't help but get sucked into her rapture"
"good old-fashioned handcrafted melodies and hooks to draw the listener in”
Here's a list of awards I am most proud of:
“MY CRIME” CD -- *Outstanding Independent Pop Album* (2000 L.A. Music Awards)
“TRUCE” -- *Adult Alternative Album of the Year* (2003 L.A. Music Awards)
I will venture to say that if you enjoy the following artists, you might like to add one or both of my cd's to your collection... Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Paula Cole, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Jonatha Brooke, Tracy Chapman, Carol King, Chaka Kahn, Bonnie Raitt...
JAMIE GREEN is close to genius-as a contemporary singer/songwriter can get. She is amazingly diverse:singing the hauntingly beautiful Malcolm X - it sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it - to a rollicking satire(?) on a girls' night out. You know - all those new country cliche songs! She REALLY believes in the words of all her compositions...no concessions to rampant commercialism-although all her music is totally accessible. Her songs could easily chart in the Top 40. All are melodious and full of harmony. Jamie Green is a very important voice. Thank God for Jamie. I would vote for her. david entertainment writer Melbourne Australia
The Leo of Oz. A BIG ROAR to you Jamie - from across the pond.
Thank you for adding the new song. You and I are in the same place politically, but my best friend's brother was killed during 9/11 and I want to remember him and all of those who were lost and those who helped others. I was looking for an appropriate song to play. Thanks for putting yours up.
You KNOW I am TOTALLY diggin' your sound!! We got ya up for the next few days, luv. Hey! How would I go about gettin' a banner for my front page? Have a great weekend. STAY COOL, STAY GROOVY!!

This specially compiled 4 CD Box Set from Time Life features the best Folk Rock songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s! Includes 71 Songs That Defined An Era and Influenced Generations... In Stores September 11 Not just another genre, folk rock was born as a statement of purpose, of taste, of superiority the baby boom¹s first imprimatur, a musical mission and a personal battle cry in a divisive time of racial tension and escalating war. For a generation of philosopher dropouts and drug-inspired visionaries, it was also the best way to partake in the era¹s hippest form of artistic expression, in numbers previously unknown to man.
