MySpace a place for friends

A compilation record I worked on earlier this year is now available! From their press release: "Songs on the Green Line is a 13-song compilation CD featuring nationally recognized acts such as The Innocence Mission, Denison Witmer, and Birdie Busch, and local up-and-comers like Devin Greenwood, Jack Ohly, and Fan of Friends, plus others. 100% of the profits from Songs on the Green Line will be donated to Cooperativa San Fernando, a farmer-owned coffee cooperative located high in the Andes Mountains of Peru."

About the EP, WXPN's Bruce Warren writes "Since the early 2000s, Devin Greenwood has been at the center of a creative revitalization of the local music scene here in Philly due in large part to his work with Amos Lee, John Francis, Birdie Busch and Denison Witmer. Finally though, we have a solo album from Greenwood, undeniably one of Philly's most creative and talented musicians."

In a 2005 City Paper profile, John Vettese talks with us about our sound: "Greenwood hates the "singer-songwriter" label, and cites an eclectic crop of influences that ranges from Nina Simone to The Police. (He promises his record will have some darker new wave moments). Perhaps the most apt comparison would be Jeff Buckley, not because of sound or style but because of the trembling emotionality at the music's core, as well as its obvious references to a gamut of forebears while being an end product that's so distinctively his own."

Earlier this year Vettese also reviewed "This Over Here," one of the stand out tracks from the EP, calling it both "Orwellian" and captivating.
