Album Notes

Straight forward, hard driving country music by a skilled
and talented writer and vocalist.
Jim is a laid back, soft spoken guy who lived around
Barling and Ft. Smith, Arkansas for many years doing
whatever it takes to make a living. He spends a lot of
his time with his guitar writing country songs. He sent
a tape to Axbar Records and two years later got a call
from Joe Scates about having one of Axbar's artists
record one of the songs on a new album. After some
discussion on the phone, he asked about recording the
song himself. Since he sounded good on the demo
Scates said, "Come on down to San Antonio and
we'll get the Studio Band to work with you and see
how it goes." The sessions went well and everyone
thought he should make a complete CD album.
He laid a few music tracks at a studio in Ft Smith
then he and wife, Margie, made another trip to
San Antonio where Scates produced a 10 song
album, on which Jim wrote seven of the 10 songs.
One of the songs, "Kiss Me Again in the Moonlight,"
written by Joe Scates, went to Number 2 on the MP-3 Western Swing Charts.
