Recorded in London , Hampshire and Cornwall with a full band including a 12 voice teenage choir, the new album began life when Jim was asked to write a song for Mark Ravenhill’s hit pantomime ‘Dick Whittington & His Cat’ last year. Jim wrote six songs. Two ended up in the Barbican’s Christmas show. The others were adapted to form the beginnings of this new Jim Bob LP. Initial limited copies of the album will come with the twelve thousand word Jim Bob mini novel ‘Word Count’. Set in the not too distant future when all art is commissioned by the State, the story follows a man with writer’s block chosen to write an 80 thousand word novel or face a jail term. Jim Bob had 14 top 40 singles and 4 top 10 albums (including a number one), sold over a million records and played 800 gigs all over the world as lead singer with Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine. Since Carter Jim has released five solo albums and continues to perform live as a successful solo artist. His ‘Goodnight Jim Bob – On The Road With Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine’ autobiography was published by Cherry Red Books in 2004 to critical acclaim. To buy Jim Bob CDs and DVDs click here |
