Jim was great! I have a few cd's and I still enjoy hearing his music today.
Gone too soon. | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

On thing I think has kinda gotten lost over time about Jim.....
In addition to being a killer singer / songwriter, he really was an enthralling performer. His image has gotten kinda "sedate" with the passage of years, but maaaan....if you got to see him live, you always got your money's worth outta Jim. VERY charismatic dude.
In fact, he had just finished one such live performance the night he died in the plane crash.
Talent + great material + stage presence = awesomeness. That he was. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |
