Simplicity rules!

Clean guitar pickin', smooth vocals, sweet lyrics and melodies that roam around in your head long after listening...gentle troubadour Jim! This is a folk classic in the traveling minstrel tradition! Thanks for being who you are and doing what you do!

 

 Lyrical magic

author: Brooke Pevear

Jim has an amazing way with words. I have listened to these songs over and over the past few weeks, and each time I do I discover a new detail, a new piece of lyrical magic. The songs make me feel like I am wrapped in a soft, warm blanket... each of the characters in his stories as real to me as if I had written about them myself. It takes a truly gifted songwriter to inspire that kind of comfort. Thank you, Jim, for this wonderful piece of work.

Jim,
Your CD is exquisite. I enjoyed it so well..... I was driving while I listened to almost the whole thing, when I "came to" I didn't even know where I was.
I had driven 3 miles the wrong way down RT 31.
It is so well done....... BRAVO!

Jim -   I just finished my first listen-thru. This is super. You and Mark are 2 talented guys - perfect combination of imagination in storytelling-songwriting and in technical achievement. You know I don't always love singer-songwriters, but your talents remind me of John Stewart, with the ability to describe and tell the story and get that emotional whomp in there. This is just a wonderful CD. Congratulations to you and Mark.  
Slán,

"Like everyone, I usually pop in a new CD and do a quick preview of each song before I go back to listen in full. Some players even have that built in, right? Well, don't think you can do that with Empty Hall...every song is so good you'll be captivated by each song and listen to them from start to finish - no skipping!! So leave yourself enough time to be captivated."
Art Krause

I find this an altogether wonderful musical reflection on Americana past and present.
When I first listened to the CD I found myself pushing the "repeat" button on several of the tracks, something I don't usually do... This album crept into the nooks and crannies in the attic between my ears. And it brushed away cobwebs I might have expected to find in an Old Empty Hall.

My Music Video Old Faded Picture is now on YouTube & Vimeo. 
The video features yours truly on vocals, Mark Teachey on guitars and Dee Braxton Pelligrino on Fiddle.

These songs were produced by my very good friend Mark Teachey at his Windwood Productions studio in Wilmington, NC.  Mark is an exceptional musician and a very fine producer.  If you are looking for someone to produce your next CD or DVD project, I highly recommend that you contact Mark at folkaudio@gmail.com
