  • Reservation Bound
    author: Allison Carroll

    Another great cd made by this talented musician!! I recommend any and all of his works! He can rock with the best and I'm in love with his ballads. He definitely can tell a story with his words and music.

  • Alternatives- Jim Boyd
    author: Allison Carroll

    As a huge fan of Jims, I'm a bit partial. I highly recommend FIRST COME - LAST SERVED that was my first cd of his and now I can't get enough. I love the fact that he can do rock, blues, and his ballads will move you. When I first heard him in SMOKE SIGNALS I knew I had to have his music! I recommend any of his cd's. He has a unique voice and his lyrics will definitely make you think. Jim, you are an amazing , talented indigenous artist!!!

  • Great - I bought it specifically for a Sociology report at school.

    As I said above, I bought this CD specifically to illustrate the newspaper item I got from our January 19 newspaper. Everyone in the class has to do a "live report" on ethnicity in the United States. I chose this for mine. I will present this tomorrow, and will play your "Time, time, Time" and any others the class would like to hear, and the professor will allow! Thanks again, P Graves
