"...He’s a serious songwriter and we’re honored he took a few minutes to catch up with us." -American Songwriter
"...And you've got Green Apples. Which may turn out to be the most self-assured, confident, musically satisfying, self-released debut record you'll ever hear."
-songsillinois
"Jackson's mischievous brand of country folk epitomizes the sound of a bedroom artist slogging through countless late nights of broken picks and longneck-induced noodlings. Green Apples may have cost half a year's wages, but every dollar is put to good use."
-The Nashville Scene
..." A person would not only have to dream big but also have a lot of luck to live the life of Jon Jackson. He’s singer-songwriter by day, Vanderbilt nurse by night. Now he’s added the title of congressional hopeful to his résumé. But let’s start with his first job."
-Harpeth Hall Quad
"The idea was to be transparent, but a lot of people just thought I was an idiot."
-Vanderbilt House Organ
"...Most of his songs are brutally honest reflections of his experiences; sometimes disturbing, sometimes filled with anger but also often witty and funny." -The Augusta Chronicle

How can you measure a mans talents??? Jon Jacksons talents can not be measured for they are too many. This is a man that has a heart beyond measure. The hands of a nurse of children. The knowledge to heal and ease pain and capture the moments God gives. The same hands can pick up a guitar and out comes a story felt deeply within the music. Again looking through the moments God has given him. A man who can pick up a paint brush and add his touch to this world. A very kind, talented, caring man who appreciates all the moments in his life. No...this mans talent can not be measured.
