Greetings from the Side

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings from the Side is the debut album by singer Gary Jules. 'Greetings' arrived to the delight of critics and fellow musicians in August 1998, but barely saw the light of day, having been released just weeks before A&M and its parent company, Polygram, were sold to MCA/Universal in a now legendary music industry merger. Still, the title track was prominently featured in Timothy Hutton's film "Digging to China" starring Kevin Bacon, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Faye Dunaway.

Shelved before it ever got the chance to receive the attention it deserved, 'Greetings' has been heavily traded, burned, and downloaded for years -- and now it's available in its original form, with the original artwork, photos, and printed lyrics.
