Big Machine artist Jackson Dean will release his debut album – Greenbroke – on 11th March.
Jackson Dean has announced that he will release his debut album – Greenbroke – on 11th March through Big Machine records. Having played bars in Maryland – the stompin’ grounds that gave the world the Brothers Osborne while still in high school – after a stint in California, he found his home in Nashville. Ending up with four record deals on the table, Dean ultimately signed with Big Machine records. “I don’t know what I thought it would be,” he concedes. “I was living in a little shack on my grandfather’s property, playing shows and writing songs. It was about the force of the music, and the way it moved people. That was what I was chasing, and I ended up here.” Now, Dean will release his debut album on the 11th March – Greenbroke. One word instead of two, a state of mind as well as being, it’s an ethos the hard-charging performer lives by. “Never lose your wild,” explains Dean. “You can be tame enough to be in the room, but never let go of that untamed sense of who you are. That’s where your truest self lives.”
Working with Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Luke Dick, they’ve crafted an atmospheric, musically-forward project where guitars slash, drums thump and Dean’s raw baritone creates a frenzy on the Cri du Coeur title track, the haunted courage of “Fearless,” the hushed benediction “Wings,” breezy ganjo-country of “Don’t Take Much” and the stomping National guitar-streaked first single “Don’t Come Lookin’.” Equal parts swagger and introspection, the musk of a young man’s machismo tempers that low slung delivery that comes from living life along the fringe.
“We’ve always made our way, done what we had to do,” explains the mature beyond his years writer. “We were raised to live without fear, to look what you had to do in the eye – and get on with it. There’s a freedom that comes with living that way. You know whatever happens, you’re gonna find a way. It goes back to the idea of being greenbroke; you can go anywhere, but that doesn’t mean you have to surrender your untamed self.”
GREENBROKE will be released March 11, 2022. Pre-orders begin March 4 HERE.
