Since release of “NOW and THEN - Volume 1” in 2011, Green was honored as a Texas Music Legend on the television series "The Texas Music Scene with Ray Benson" (Season 3, Episode 23, in 2012) New weekly 30-minute shows, and daily Re-Runs of the series are now showing on stations coast to coast. Green has performed 60-minute Live shows at Lewisville (Texas) Western Days festivals in 2013, 2014, 2015, appears frequently on Writers Nights in Nashville, primarily at the Commodore Grille in the Holiday Inn-Vanderbilt, and is available with songs and stories for listening audiences elsewhere. The Volume 2 CD features ‘NOW’ songs - 2014 recordings, and ‘THEN’ songs - from the 1970’s and 1960's. Sixteen of the 20 tracks are previously un-released recordings. There are a couple of Modern Country cuts, “My Plow,” which is a ‘power takeoff’ on the ‘tractor’ songs of recent decades, and “420 Colorado Time,” a tale of relief from physical and emotional pain, found on a '420 Tour' in Colorado's legal marijuana scene. Between the Mod cuts is a beautiful ‘young lovers’ waltz, as they look forward to long lives and “Dancing At 99,” which has been chosen for play as a wedding reception song and on streaming services. “My Plow” and “Dancing At 99” were written by Green and Jan Buckingham, a writer of Pam Tillis's chart-topper "Cleopatra Queen of Denial" and other Hit songs of the past 20 years. “420 Colorado Time” was written by Green and Winston Boyd of Waterloo, NY. Remaining tracks are Classic/Traditional Country. Five are from an ‘Old Pro Session’ recorded on April 21, 2014, but in the style of the 1950s & 60s Golden Era of Country Music, when musicians were allowed to play extended solos on records. The ‘pickers’ on this ‘Old Pro Session’ include: Drums-Gene Chrisman, Bass-David Spicher, Electric & Dobro Guitar -Pete Wade, Acoustic Guitar- Jimmy Capps (Musicians Hall of Fame), Harmonica-Charlie McCoy (Country Music Hall of Fame), Steel Guitar-Lloyd Green (Steel Guitar Hall of Fame), Piano/Keyboard-Rodger Morris [graciously sub-ing for “Pig” Robbins (Country Music Hall of Fame) who was ill that day]. Track 05 - “Blue Ribbon Blues” is one of two versions of this Glenn D Tubb/Jerry K Green title. In this one, Green sings about being a champion as the bluest of the blue. The other version, sung by Tubb on “Now And Then – Volume 1,” is about the same situation, but instead of seeing himself as a champion, Blue Ribbon Beer consoles him. Also featured in Volume 2 are 10 recordings arranged and produced by Bill Walker, legendary arranger, producer, and conductor for Eddy Arnold, Johnny Cash, the Statler Brothers, and numerous TV Specials. The four previously released tracks are in this group. Two were Billboard Country Singles Chart discs in 1977, “I Know The Feeling” and “Genuine Texas Good Guy.” “NOW and THEN - Volume 1” introduced a toe-tapping new Western Swing song, “Wherever In Texas,” includes five performances by co-writers Glenn D Tubb, Ray Campi, and Connie Mims, plus a Live performance of young Green on the Louisiana Hayride in 1952. Jerry K Green resumed his music career as a Nashville-based performing songwriter in 2010, after a 30-year absence. Green’s songs have also been recorded by major label recording artists Billy Walker (Columbia) and Jimmy Heap (Capitol), as well as James O'Gwynn (United Artists), Dale McBride (Con Brio), and others. A Staff Announcer at Nashville’s WSM-TV in the late 1960’s, Green also served as a news anchor at KLBK-TV in Lubbock, following a stint as Sports Director at KTAL-TV in Shreveport, after beginning his TV career at KTBC-TV in Austin. His work in radio included DJ work at WENO in Nashville in 1966-67 when it was THE Country Music outlet in the market, plus DJ/Program/Music Director posts at radio stations KVET and KOKE in Austin in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
