GREENWAY IN SEARCH OF MUSSOLINI'S HEAD

By David Schultz
For The Transcript

Don't expect to go to a Greg Greenway show and sit on your hands.
Known as one of the most engaging performers on the coffeehouse
circuit these days, otherwise shy audience members have been known to
clap and sing aloud to his infectious songs.  Greenway, who also has a
sense of humor about his ability to draw people out of their shell,
has even written a song about this experience called, "Don't Make Me
Sing."  

Greenway's songs are not mere ear candy, however.  The catchy tunes
and anthemic choruses support often weighty topics.  "One Man, One
Woman, One Vote" is Greenway's take on the lifting of apartheid in
South Africa.  "Crack in the Wall" is an emotional outpouring about
the decline of the American inner city.

Honored by Performing Songwriter and the Boston Music Awards, Greenway
returns to Oklahoma on Sunday night, February 21 to support his third
album, "Mussolini's Head."  Whereas his previous two albums have often
failed to capture the energy of his live show, Greenway feels
differently about "Mussolini's Head."

"It may sound silly," says Greenway, "but one thing you cannot do as a
performer is sit in a chair and see yourself.  Some people go into a
studio and find their voice right away.  This time, I realized the
focus should be on the song and that the principle connection between
the listener and the song is my voice."

The title track delves right into the heart of hate and racism with
the near-chant chorus "race is a myth; pure is a lie."  Bearing a
distorted electric guitar, a rarity for the normally acoustic
Greenway, the intensity of the song brings a near hypnotic effect.

In contrast, the most beautiful tune on the album is the mellow,
"Archaeology".  Supported by Mondy Jostyn's violin, Greenway explores
the years of failed relationships that lie buried beneath his skin.
On top of it all, lies much more pleasant times, his recent happy
marriage.

Greenway's visits to Oklahoma have always been memorable experiences.
Audience members typically drive home with the sing-along tunes still
stuck in their heads.  Moran Productions brings Greenway to the Blue
Door in OKC (2805 N. McKinley) on Sunday night, February 21 at 7:30
pm.  For more information, call 528-4527 or visit
