About Me

Cancer changes the way a person thinks. One day youre standing, the next youre on the ground. Lying in the hospital, listening to Live Like You Were Dying, Jim decided to pursue his life long dream to be a professional songwriter. Jim now writes for NowThat'sCool Music and has penned This Red Neck of the Woods, a national radio single by Bruce Stephens. had holds from superstar artists such as Jason Aldean, Rodney Atkins, Hank Williams, Jr., Lee Ann Womack and Lonestar and 30 cuts by up and coming national and international artists. Those who have lent their talents to Jim's songs include The Clarks, Bill Deasy, DeWayne Spaw and Jimmy Dale. Jim's songwriting philosophy can be found in his own words, Lord one more time before Im gone, give me notes that are more than just a song. (Just A Song/Smith) .
