What crtics have written about Jim Greer
and his new album "The Big Theives
Jail The Little Thieves":
"An unpretentious singer-songwriter . . . His style ranges
from lovely guitar ballads to swinging, upbeat pop songs, all beautifully
written with a true sense of poetry . . . [he] is sure to one day
be a name to be reckoned with." -- Vinnie
Esparza, Gavin
"'Big Thieves' has the unmistakable imprint of a man
creating highly individualized, uncompromised music." -- Andrew
Bonazelli, Seattle Weekly
"[Jim Greer's] lyrics are crafted out of truth rather than
hype." -- Rupal Shah, San Francisco
Bay Guardian
"Jim Greer has the street smarts and innovative bent of Beck
and the quirky melodic sense of They Might Be Giants. . .One can
only hope there's room for an idiosyncratic artist like Greer to
get heard by wider audiences." -- Denise
Sullivan, BAM
"Unpretentious to the core, Greer writes rollicking songs that
are as upbeat as any being churned forth by the overcrowded pop
world. And he pulls ballads off with equal aplomb. His guitar work
is refreshingly simplistic, though not too underdone, and his arrangements
flutter with urgency and a sense of humor all at once . . . Greer
is an unsung pop genius." -- Michael
Henningsen, Weekly Alibi (NM)
"One of the most sincere, idealistic, and committed people
you're likely to come across in the music business . . . His infectious
enthusiasm both on his records and in the streets ñ often
makes his ideas and ideals seem brand new."--Denise
Sullivan, San Francisco
