Artist picture
Jim’s musical journey took him from Arkansas to Austin to Memphis, where he currently resides. Writing songs, working as a front man and contributing his talen
A fixture on the Memphis music scene for several years, Jim Wilson has gained exposure to travelers from around the world. His music has even found its way to the airwaves of several radio stations throughout the mid-south, earning praise from radio personalities and listeners alike. Wilson's writing style for "Simple Things" is country with some grease on it. His songs are more than mere casual observations of life. They vary from fun country-funky looks at love like in the cut entitled Stop, Drop and Roll to more serious ballads like Jesse that expose the often painful yet possibly reaffirming human condition. His up-coming record, "This Old House", has a great Americana feel to it. The results of the new record come from growth as an artist and as a person. Jim would love to put a grin on the face of every person that is reached by his music.
