About the Artist
Character, creativity and an unbridled passion for life infuse Jimmy Wayne's music and reverberate through every track on Do You Believe Me Now, his debut on The Valory Music Co. "It's definitely a change," Jimmy says of his new effort. "The record that I put together only has two ballads on it and that's it. Everything else is up-tempo. I spent three years trying to find these songs that just really set me apart." Writing and finding songs that weren't just good, but truly unique became Jimmy's mission as he recorded his new project. He succeeds in crafting an album of songs that resonate strongly with audiences because of the honesty in the lyrics and the catchy melodies that make listeners immediately want to sing along. Each song on the project is brought vividly to life by Jimmy's strong, soulful voice. It's a potent instrument that conveys every nuance of a great lyric. In a few short years, Jimmy Wayne has developed a reputation as a "singer's singer," someone respected by his peers for his ability to deliver a song with an abundance of passion and personality that make each performance instantly memorable. Yet when asked what has brought him this far, Jimmy doesn't mention his voice or his energetic stage show, he brings it all back to the songs. "I think it's just the fact that I tell the truth," he says of his music's appeal. "People love to hear somebody stand on the stage and sing something that's real. I give the people that come with their hard earned money a hundred percent of everything that I could possibly give them. It's clear to me that what I've experienced, I've experienced for a reason and maybe that's my calling is to tell that story. This is it. I don't have a Plan B." He doesn't need a Plan B. Ever since a Nashville publishing executive first heard him in his home state of North Carolina and offered the young artist a deal with Opryland Music Group, Jimmy's career has been on the fast track. He moved to Nashville and began getting cuts by artists like Tracy Byrd ("Put Your Hand in Mine") and soon after landed a record deal with Dreamworks Records when music industry veteran Scott Borchetta signed him to the label. His 2003 Dreamworks debut spawned four hits-- "I Love You This Much" "You Are," and "Stay Gone," with the latter tune peaking at No. 3 on Billboard's Country Singles chart. The poignant "Paper Angels" spotlighted the plight of abused and abducted children and earned Jimmy the William Booth Award from the Salvation Army.
"I've always wanted to sing, write and play," says Jimmy. "I played at cookouts and everything I could around my hometown. It didn't matter what it was or if it was for two or three people, I would play anywhere and everywhere." It's that passion for making music and that dedicated work ethic that fuel Jimmy's career. Once signed to the Valory Music Co., he set about writing and searching for songs that would populate the next step on his musical journey. Jimmy's first album was an amalgam of songs that reflected his turbulent youth and the emotional strength he gained from his experiences as a foster child and then later as a homeless teen. It was a portrait of a survivor that resonated strongly with country audiences hungry for real music that addressed both life's toughest moments and most tender joys.
Jimmy Wayne believes in the power of music to inspire and entertain and he's devoted his life to doing both. He still can't believe he's living a dream come true. "I remember the first time I heard `Stay Gone' on the radio," says Jimmy. "I was with WYQK's Mike Culotta and we were going to get sushi. We were sitting at a traffic light and it came on the radio. I remember rolling the window down and screaming out the window as loud as I could. I couldn't believe it was my song on the radio." He should believe it now because it only takes one listen to that powerful, soul-drenched voice and others become believers too.
Product Description
Do You Believe Me Now is the next step in Jimmy's evolution as an artist. Time on the road has made his voice even stronger and more seasoned. Interaction with the fans has heightened his awareness of what an audience wants when they come to a show. Thus the new album is teeming with up tempo tracks. Jimmy has grown as a songwriter and with maturity comes a broader view of life that informs his music. While his first album was an intensely personal, almost cathartic collection, Jimmy's new songs tend to explore more universal themes, yet still maintain inspiration from an intensely personal place.
Do You Believe Me Now, features the hit single that has re-introduced him to a hungry country radio audience. The rest of the album runs the gamut from the summertime fun of "I'll Do That" to the sensual "One on One" about a couple needing their alone time.
A standout track is certain to be Jimmy's duet with Patty Loveless, titled "No Good For Me." "I hold honesty in lyrics and in vocal performance above all else in my music," he said. "For me, Patty represents the embodiment of honesty in music to which the rest of us can only aspire."
"Didn't Come Here to Lose" is a buoyant tune about not giving up on your musical dreams despite the challenges. "Where You're Going" is an empowering anthem that features a guest vocal by John Oates of the legendary duo Hall & Oates. Jimmy will be a special guest on Oates' forthcoming project.
One of the album's highlights is the autobiographical "Kerosene Kid," a song that holds special significance to Jimmy because of his extensive charity work with disadvantaged youth. "When you smell kerosene on a kid at school, you just know that they have a hard life," says Jimmy. "Usually the kids who heat by a kerosene heater are poor kids. They live in trailers or old houses and that's their only way of staying warm is to either use a kerosene or a wood heater. This song says `Don't let them get you down, keep your head up and stay proud.'"
生命的洗礼-感人乡村之音】
1972年10月出生的Jimmy Wayne 是美国新一代乡村唱作歌手，
自03年发行同名首碟《Jimmy Wayne 》，这是个人第2张专辑。
专辑虽然不多，但是作品都很成熟，有着丰富的思想。
单曲《 I Love You This Much》更是令人动容，
看着标题，很多人会直觉以为这是一首情歌，然而其实并不是。
Jimmy Wayne有着被生父抛弃的惨痛回忆，从小不知道自己父亲是谁，
他把故事化为了歌曲，唱出了自己在心酸往事中的感受，
描写了和父亲间心酸的回忆和释怀后的领悟。
他在歌曲中写道：我爱你如此深，我等候着你等你想想清楚，你是否也爱我？
一次次的憧憬，一次次的失望，他学会了憎恨。
直到父亲离开人世，他仍没有得到想要的爱，
在丧礼进行到一半，唱诗班唱着赞美诗的时候，
他抬头仰望，悲伤的看着牧师顶上的耶稣神像时。
他发现：原来自己从未被爱抛弃，也从未孤独。
Jimmy Wayne无限羞愧的说：清宽恕我，天父。
埋怨生命的混沌，唯有宽容才能沉淀。
悲叹命运不济，倒不如自强自立，
你已经有了生命，那便是上天给你的最大祝福，
每个人都应该心存感激，勇敢地好好活下去！
