Jim Photoglo
“What Do I Tell My Son” – “Pure
singer-songwriter album, written with the great Gary Burr, almost poetry to
music..really struck me” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Singer/Songwriter
Folk/ Acoustic /Americana
Record label: Grifftone
Records Current Location:
Nashville, TN
Influences: The
behind-the-scenes writers of the Brill Building (Mann and Weil, King and
Goffin) and Motown, to writer-artists like the Beatles, the Young Rascals and
the Rolling Stones. Photoglo’s eclectic style fostered recordings by a variety
of artists, including James Ingram and the Everly Brothers.
Jim Photoglo has
musically spanned four decades as both a songwriter and artist, bringing his
unique creative voice to the R&B, Pop and Country arenas.
He grew up in
Los Angeles and began playing in bands as a teenager but never considered music
as a “career” until he was in his early 20s. He took every kind of gig from
playing in a funeral band to putting together a group to back John Belushi’s
“Joe Cocker” imitation at a party for Paul McCartney.
He spent the
next 2 years singing back-up for Andy Gibb, and concentrating on song writing.
While enjoying
this sabbatical from recording, his songs began to catch fire with the creative
“powers-that-be” in post-”Urban Cowboy” Nashville. Before he knew it, he had
cuts with Kenny Rogers, Marty Robbins, Gary Morris and Brenda Lee. Further
encouraged by good friend Wendy Waldman, a fellow L.A. popster who’d recently
relocated and was enjoying a few country hits of her own, Photoglo moved to
Music City in 1984 to pursue a full-time career as a songwriter.
He took the
occasional tour as a bassist for the likes of Carole King, Vince Gill and Dan
Fogelberg, but his main focus was songwriting, successfully quadrupling his
creative output over the next few years.
After recording
two solo albums in 1993, his career took a bizarre turn. He and Russell Smith
of The Amazing Rhythm Aces, Bernie Leadon of the Eagles and hit-songwriter
Vince Melamed formed the band Run C&W. Taking classic soul songs of the 60s
and 70s, they rearranged and performed them as bluegrass songs with comedic
undertones.
Photoglo
continued to perform regularly at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café and tour
solo, combining songwriter workshops with concerts at colleges, coffee houses
and clubs around the country. He released 3 more CDs on Grifftone Records – FLY STRAIGHT HOME in 2000, SPARKS IN THE RADIO (2005) which landed at #30 on the Folk DJ Best Albums of
2005 list, and IS IT ME? which hit #1 in June of 2009. ( Full
Bio)
HALLS OF MY HEART (Grifftone) released on July 1, 2014 is
the 10 track album Jim Photoglo has been working toward his whole career. His first
album in five years features the label’s namesake Griffin Photoglo on drums
Historically a celebrated co-writer, Jim takes the reins penning the majority
of the songs alone, delving deep into personal subjects delivered with
universal truths. You’ll find Jim playing most of the instruments and singing
all of the background vocals, melding his experiences playing guitar, bass and
singing for such well regarded artists as Carole King, the late Dan Fogelberg, Vince
Gill, the late Nicolette Larson, Wendy Waldman, as well as his own bands.
Related Post: Photoglo Releases First Album in Five Years “Halls of my
Heart” - “I’ve written for a lot of other artists and
co-written most of my own music in the past,” Photoglo says. “Since I wrote
most of these songs alone, it was an opportunity for me to be extremely honest
and explore some very personal experiences.” .......

“Head Out Of Town” – “A very
unique voice” - Marie Crichton BBC

Genre: Americana,
Folk, Country, Rock

Good things come
to those who wait – and this summer, alt-country fans will be rewarded for
their patience. On June 10, 2014 singer-songwriter Amy McCarley released JET
ENGINES, the 10 track highly
anticipated follow-up to her 2011 self-titled debut.
McCarley, who
was named a Northern Alabama Artist to Watch by The Huntsville Times in 2012,
has already taken her home state by storm. With Jet Engines, she firmly
establishes herself as a rising star on the national roots music scene.
No Depression Jet Engines (Album Review)...The alt-country scene is
crowded these days, which is great for fans but tough for artists looking to
stand out. Fortunately for Amy McCarley, the first thing that strikes a new
listener is her distinctive voice. There are shades of genre luminaries in her
Alabama drawl -- a little bit of Lucinda Williams slur, a touch of Dwight Yoakam-esque
mountain twang. But comparisons are really only useful for reference purposes;
McCarley's sound is all her own, and her latest album Jet Engines showcases an
artist firmly grounded in Americana, yet well-poised to make an individual
statement.....
