NEW ALBUM
“SMILE”
This is a very special ‘personal’ CD, made for Jim to celebrate his 70th Birthday. Here are all the songs he loves to sing – but never included in his stage shows. The arrangements and orchestration was done by Greg Hooper and all the strings – violin, viola, mandolin, guitar etc by Marcus Holden (even a saw played with a violin bow!). Jim’s vocals were recorded by Marcus at his ‘Bloody Dog’ studio and Melanie Dyer provided the backing vocals.
This album is a nostalgia trip -songs by Jim’s favourite songwriters, Rodgers and Hart, Yip Harburg, Cole Porter, Gordon Lightfoot, Charlie Chaplin and more.
Jim would love to share his favourite songs with you.
