This review is from: The Big Thieves Jail the Little Thieves (Audio CD)

Jim Greer is definitely off the radar. After three albums, it's still difficult to find him with Google. Search for him on YouTube, and you'll find the Florida politician instead. Personally, I would have never heard of him if he hadn't come to the Monterey Rock and Art Festival in the 90s. He wasn't even on the main stage on that small venue, but he played some good music.

I bought his 'Rover Songs' CD that day. Appropriately titled, it's one of my favorite CDs to play for road trips. The lyrics are intelligent, but are about everyday people.

That's also what you'll find on this album. Intelligent music about everyday people. The kind of guys who might be thinking of "a woman or a beer" when catastrophe strikes. It's in a class of it's own, but if I were to compare it to anything, it would be the band Cake, but without as much Country and Western influence.
