Another Magnificent Album
author: Tom & Barbara
We have tried to express our feelings about Jim Photoglo many times and just can't find words grand enough. In 1980 my girl, who is now my wife and I were out for a ride. Jim's song, "We were meant to be lovers" played on the radio. When we heard it, we looked at each other and knew that was our song. So, from that point on Jim Photoglo was close to our hearts. Throughout the years, we listened to his music with reverence and a special warmth. We never thought we would meet Jim up close and personal but the opportunity availed itself and we seized it. We were overwhelmed and his artistry reflects the true Jim Photoglo. After he released his album "Sparks in the Radio", we had the opportunity to spend time with him again and pointed out that it was his spark in the radio that was so special to us twenty five years ago. Jim performed our song for us as the tears flowed down our cheeks. He gave us a gift that is intangible, wrapped in love and warmth. Words just seem insignificant to describe the feelings that arise when listening to or thinking of Jim. Love, Tom and Barb.

Listening to Jim Photoglo on his latest album, "Sparks in the radio" restores one's faith in the phrase "country music". This stuff is country, but with an upbeat exuberance right out of the Pure Prarie League/ Poco/Eagles past. Remember the concept of melody ? Jimbo does. And boy can this old man sing. His effortlessly emits a velvety soft twang, but doesn't pour it on like some CMT bimbo. At least 5 GREAT tracks on this album ! Isn't THAT unusual !!

Jim went a little more country this time. Great vocals, chords, lyrics and melodies. You'll be singing them all day. If Photoglo's name is on a CD I'm buying it. Check out Vinyl Kings.
