Title - Standing Eight
Artist - Jeremy Green
For those unaware, guitarist Jeremy Green has a message for you: “At long last, my first full length, artist solo album is completed. It was a long haul, but finally Standing Eight is wrapped and released. All songs have been completely remixed and some new sonic additions to make the experience much better than the singles. It’s truly an album as I envisioned.”
“The recording sounds fantastic, mixed and mastered by Jerry Guidroz in Nashville. The recording sounds lush and punchy. The runtime came in at a tidy 48:08 and I assure you it is a good bang for the buck if you count all the notes! Needless to say I am very happy with how it all came out.”
“It should be said that Keith Carlock has been instrumental in making this recording become what it is. I am so grateful for his time, spirit and involvement. Such talent and an asset to the project in so many ways. I truly can’t thank him enough.”
Guitarist Jeremy Green has recorded with musicians such as: Mike Stern, Oz Noy, Keith Carlock, Victor Wooten, Billy Sheehan, Jimmy Haslip, Tim Lefebvre, Chase Baird, Rich Brown and others.
Indeed, his original works have gained praise from studios and industry experts and his music has featured on traditional and online radio stations around the world.

This intensely rousing, heartfelt and lovingly constructed new funk-fusion romp entitled Standing Eight opens on the soaring guitar rocking blues of Jackets Required and then my own personal favorite here, some deeply funky grooves come forth within the brilliant Ain’t No Chevy, and then comes the drum-led, funky bass lines of Michael & Me and then the strident low ebb prog blues of The Land of Oz.
Along next is the harder-edged Big Shoes and that is itself backed by the free flowing, fervently frenetic rock of Mr. Beast, the album rounding out all too soon on the foot-tapping melodies within Close with the Jab, coming to a close on the grand rock jam opus of Car Rock.
