......... "I finished your wonderful novel Saturday.  Again, all I can say is WOW!  I didn't know you were such a great writer.  The book was fantastically written and would make a great movie (just an idea).  Continue your great efforts and let me know when the next volume comes out."  Liz Gentry, Librarian, Booth Western Art Museum, Cartersville, GA

Jim Jones writes and sings contemporary songs about the great American West ... past, present and future.  He travels all over the country performing his unique brand of Americana at house concerts, coffeehouses, music festivals and cowboy gatherings ... in short, anywhere people want to listen to a good story and tap their feet to fine acoustic pickin'. Jim is excited about the quality of contemporary Western music and hopes to spread the word to those millions of people out there who don't yet know they are Western music fans!
