Not much history to tell. I was born into a musical family, immersed in classical, choral and gospel music (my father was a music minister). My father was an accomplished vocalist, music conductor and voice teacher: he gave me any vocal "chops" I might have.
My band involvement has been sporadic over the years: mainly involved in folk music and blues.

CDBABY LINK for JIMMY DOW: A Pill For Every Mood - 2005 Songwriter's Catalog
JIMMY DOW: A Pill For Every Mood - 2005 Songwriter's Catalog
Jimmy Dow will rock you, laugh with you, soothe you and cry with you -- an amazing variety of lyrical and song genre's. He writes for other recording artists and for film. This cross-genre catalog is all performed by Jimmy; delivered with a baritone voice that can wisper, swing and shout.
If you listen closely and close your eyes, you will see the autobiography of a songwriter, an average person -- a crazy, rough and winding journey that brings Jimmy back to solid ground (somewhat..:). It's real life...exagerated at times. He looks forward to the real "Glory Days": advocating for the voiceless, loving his family and friends --- raising more hell then ever before with the status-quo!!
Strong vocals with acoustic folk, blues, rock and jazz crossover.

Jimmy Dow is a lyricist and composer who writes songs for other artists, bands and for film. His claim-to-fame, his mark-on-the-world: encourage, entertain and challenge your heart and mind. An accomplished vocalist, Jimmy delivers his own songs in a barotone and style remniscent of Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn and Chris Isaak.
"A Pill For Every Mood" title "A Pill For Every Mood" title came from an illustration his artist daughter (Melissa) created. It was a creative match for this compilation
If you find me feedin' daisies...
Please turn my face up to the sky
And leave me be...
Watchin' the moon roll by
Whatever I was...
You know it was all because.. I've been on the town...
