about
GREEN PEPPERS is the solo project of ex Soup Dragons, BMXBandits and Superstar guitarist Jim McCulloch. Jim’s debut album ‘Joni’s Garden’, is a stunningly beautiful assortment of vibrant acoustic guitars, haunting pianos and superbly crafted songwriting that echo classic artists such as Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen as well as contemporary artists like Damien Rice and Tom Baxter. The album is embellished with a guest appearance from Isobel Campbell who contributes lead vocals on two songs and backing vocals on others. There are comparisons contained herein to her previous band Belle & Sebastian – most notably the gift for an alluring melody and intelligent story-telling lyrics. Jim McCulloch previously tasted chart success as a fresh faced seventeen year-old guitarist with Scottish band The Soup Dragons when they were signed to Sire Records (home to Talking Heads, The Undertones and Madonna). The Soup Dragons were regular visitors to the top 40, eventually hitting paydirt when their cover of the Rolling Stones’ ‘I’m Free’ entered the UK Top 10. Today Jim McCulloch as Green Peppers steps boldly out from the shadows, producing an album of beguiling beauty, that transcends his past work and lifts him shoulder high with his heroes.
