Advantages: new music, easy listening Disadvantages: a bit slow but interesting
After Take That broke up in 1996 (it cant be that long sob sob ) Mark Owen the small sexy dishy one (sorry got carried away) started his own solo career with his first album GreenMan. Mark had a lot to do to keep his fans from Take That, plus more. He also had to follow in the great footsteps off Robbie Williams, so all eyes were on Mark.
Mark changed his appearance, longer hair, more hippy look and changed his style of music. Gone was the pop, dance music in came the more soulful, slower songs. Ones with great lyrics. There?s 11 tracks on this album.
1st GreenMan
2nd Clementine
3rd Child
4th Are you with me
5th Ask him to
6th Backpocket and me
7th Move on
8th Second-hand Wonderland
9th My love
10th I am what I am
11th Is that what its all about
Here are a few versus from some of my favourites;

Advantages: easy listening Disadvantages: different
This album is one of my favoriets. It's not a new album anymore, but I still keep listening to it every so often.
If you think this will be like Take That music, then you're wrong. Gary Barlow was writing most of the Take That songs. Greenman was the first album, that Mark Owen wrote. It is very very different. I would discribe it as a bit "grunch".
btw. : the pictures in the booklet are great as well. Inspiring.
I don't find albums very often, where I can listen to every single song. Usually you buy an album and you like one, two maybe 3 songs out of it, but on this one, I don't want to turn if off, untill it's finished. I find the lyrics are very interesting and it's worth to listen to the songs a couple of times, just to understand the real meaning.
Here's a bit about the songs:
1. Greenman
2. Clementine,: was ...
Advantages: a wide ranging and open minded book Disadvantages: none
evolved from that other archetype, King Arthur. Wilson also shows us how hood is interwoven with the pagan beliefs that were never quite suppressed by the Christian Church and in the guise of a fertility spirit can be found as in the GreenMan carvings, the Jack -in-the-Green spirit, Morris Dancing and even contributes to the mayday celebrations.
Many quests would consider themselves fulfilled at this point but Wilson carries the story on through the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution to see the impact and evolution of the now ingrained tales and even on to the modern day to see how the story has arrived 4000 after its inception. For such a slim book, just over 100 pages, there is a lot of information contained within. This is a remarkable book, for here Wilson is dealing with cultural ideas rather than a flesh and blood figure but at no ...
