The album takes its name from an ancient character / representation found, principally, throughout Western Europe.

The Green Man may be carved in stone or wood, found in churches, or painted on pub signage and is usually a representation of a face surrounded by (or made from) leaves.

Canadian musician Jeff Martin plays a variety of instruments on eight of the album's eleven songs.

The only non-acoustic instrument is John Fitzgerald's Fender Rhodes sound on "The Monster".

Not because I've become anti rhythm section or anything stupid, but because I needed to get nearer to the real heart of me.
