Fifteen is the fourth full-length studio album by American rock band Green River Ordinance, released on January 22, 2016, through Residence Music.[1] [2] The album marks the band's fifteenth year together and is the reason behind its title. It was recorded using analog tape in separate sessions in three cities with producers Paul Moak, Rick Beato and Jordan Critz.[3]
Critical reception
In a four star review in CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis describes, "It’s all perfect for a backyard bonfire, front porch swing or intimate gathering amongst close friends, though it’s sure to sound just as sweet pumping out a dashboard radio." In another positive review, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock calls it "a fantastic album."
