Green Man (album)
"Green Man" is the debut album from Take That band member Mark Owen. The album was released on 2 December 1996, weeks after the official split of his former boyband, Take That. Three singles were released from the album: "Child", "Clementine" and "I Am What I Am". The album peaked at #33 on the UK Albums Chart, the highest position received by one of his solo albums. The album was re-released in 2003, with the revised title of "Green Man: Revisited". The album was re-released due to the success of his second studio album, which was released earlier that year. It certified gold and sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or man:
“Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
“An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
