Who is Jim Dead?

Throughout my life I have been drawn to stories with strong imagery and that’s how I see Jim Dead. It’s not just about songs, but the stories that are told and the pictures that are painted.

The songs of Jim Dead started solely as a concept. Songs about various characters from a murky town and ‘murder ballads’ inspired by musical influences ranging from Robert Johnson to Johnny Cash to Nick Cave.

However, I began to pick up my guitar and mumble whatever was in my head: songs that I'd written years ago and some that I'd began writing at various oints over the years. Some songs were literaly just rants.

Jim Dead became the storm and the ship.

I recorded an 'album' in 2008 that I've recently released digitally.

Bluesbunny review of the October 23rd Liquid Ship Free Candy Session.

First Tiger, Dumb Instrument, Andrea Marini and Jim Dead live at The Liquid Ship, Glasgow

Three cups of coffee and two bars of tablet mean that sitting still and watching television is unlikely to occur tonight. Need to walk off all that hyperactivity but, baby, it's cold outside. Another plan occurs to me. It must be a good one as it involves beer and music. Time to visit the Free Candy Sessions featuring First Tiger, Dumb Instrument, Andrea Marini and Jim Dead.

Jim Dead? Hell of a good name… Continue
