LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!
Perhaps I’ve mentioned this already but books and music make great gifts for your friends and family. Purely by coincidence, I happen to have all sorts of music and books available right here at my website. If you’re looking for a last minute opportunity, you should...
Mercy Now
I know this will come as a shock to some of you, even those who know me well, but I’m not always the most patient person on the face of the earth (I know several people who probably just snorted their coffee out on the table). I had to go to the grocery store earlier...
I’m Back to Work!
I’m still trying to process the accolades from Saturday night at the IWMA Awards Ceremony. The Cowboy Way received Traditional Western Album of the Year and Group of the Year awards and I was awarded the Song of the Year for my song, “It’s a Cowboy I Will Be.” I...

Christmas Shopping with One Click!
So Christmas really IS around the corner and you don’t want to wait to the last minute to do your Christmas shopping. My latest novel, The Lights of Cimarron, would make a nice gift for someone who enjoys reading or if you REALLY like ‘em, you could get my entire set...
Jawdropping Music- Muriel Anderson
Here’s something for those of you who really appreciate great music. Last month, the Cowboy Way Trio performed at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas and it lived up to everything we’d heard about it. It’s been around for about fifty years and although it’s...
In the Chute
When you record CDs, you go through a lengthy and exhaustive process of recording (usually one track at a time), mixing and eventually, mastering. When you think you’re done (you never are but at some point, you "think" you are), you send it to the company you’ve...
Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
I just got back from the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference in Austin and as usual, I’m really stoked about the whole experience. I heard some amazing young singer/songwriters…Daniel Neihoff was one of the most outstanding…and it just renews my sometimes...
GREAT Music: Verlon Thompson
I frequently hear people complain about the quality of music these days, most especially the music coming out of Nashville that passes for Country. A legitimate complaint, I suppose, but if you’re a serious music fan and you’re willing to dig a little deeper, there’s...
Where in the World Has Jim Been?
There’s been so much going on with music and books in the past week or so that I haven’t had a chance to post anything on my website blog/Facebook. I was up in Bobcat Pass last Tuesday night with my buddy, Syd Masters, and we had a big time. Wednesday night, I did my...
Writing Up a Storm
I know some people think I'm crazy for all the irons I have in the fire and as I try to catch up with myself, I sometimes think they're right. I'm currently working on my fourth book in the Jared Delaney/Moon series (yep, now's the time for all those "four books in a...
