Jason Green is a native of Northeast Arkansas. He was born and raised in Blytheville,
where along with cotton and soybeans, Jason’s love for music was cultivated.
He is the youngest of two children.
At a very young age, Jason was showing an interest in sharing a love with his
father, a love for country music. He was always singing around the house. His
love for singing continued to grow until he finally began to share his talent
with family and friends at the age of fifteen. He still loves singing at family
gatherings and with his father. Jason has been inspired by many of country music
greats. Singers such as: Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr. and Vern Gosdin all
have influenced his song style and selection. While Jason was growing up, his
father taught him how to play rhythm guitar. His dad played the guitar in bands
around Northeast Arkansas until last year when he started playing for Jason. Jason
could always be found somewhere in the wings during jam sessions and gigs.
Jason Green is one of a very few artists in country music history that have earned
the title, "Honky Tonker." That's a hard name to earn in the music business.
Jason Green, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gretchen Wilson
have all earned that name for their hard driving genre of country music that leaves
the ballads and slow songs on the back side of the record. These artists release
the up tempo, type of feel good music when you need a song to perk up your whole
attitude and make a big difference in the feelings you have for a world saturated
with computers, cell phones, and pagers. "Jason Green just makes you feel
good all over, through and through. His music makes you want to drive a fast car,
drink a margarita, and dance in a country bar," says George Harris Sr. Music
Editor for go.com the Disney Music Channel.
CDX 408 features the current group of Honky Tonkers in country music like the
graduating class for the 2007 CRB radio seminar. Jason Green, Gary Allan, Jimmy
Buffett, Gretchen Wilson and John Rich, Lee Ann Womack, George Jones & Merle
Haggard are joined by the Blytheville, Arkansas native in an all out assault on
radio stations that love to play up tempo honky tonk music during drive time.
"Rock In My Cowboy Boots," which debuted in the Billboard charts just
before the freeze for Christmas music is worth the time and effort to the country
music audience. The song debuted #1 in most college markets and has already topped
the Billboard Top 150 radio survey after just a few weeks of airplay. After years
of working hard, it would appear that Jason Green belongs to that country club
of artists that have the same flair for an up tempo song as Mickey Gilley and
Jerry Lee Lewis Green's co-producers and surrounding entourage of people who have assisted him
in the project is like the Who's Who of the music business, Hall of Fame Producer
Robert Metzgar and former President of Mercury Records Charles Fach. Platinum
Plus Universal is one of the largest development labels in the world and also
boasts some of the most successful artists in the country music business.

album is in stores now and is distributed nationally by the big four, Select-O-Hits,
