The independently released Dancehall Dreamer appeared in 1998 just as Green was becoming a hot performer on the local bar scene. A year later, Green wowed an audience of 2,000 people at Willie Nelsons July 4th picnic, and that magnetic event was captured for his second album, Live at Billy Bobs Texas. Green continued to write and record as the decade came to a close. Songs We Wish Wed Written was issued in 2001, and in five years time, Green had sold over 200,000 copies without major-label support. Republic was so impressed with Greens grassroots approach that they inked him a deal before Christmas. Three Days marked his first proper release. Two years later, Green joined producer Don Gehman (Hootie & the Blowfish, R.E.M., Nanci Griffith) for Wave on Wave, and in 2004 Lucky Ones came out. In 2006, after a move to RCA imprint BNA, Cannonball was issued.
