   About Jimmy Barret
Jimmy arrived onto the Nashville scene with catchy, well-crafted, songs and a truly original voice. Featured in Rolling Stone and Country Weekly Magazine--a recent opener for superstars Gretchen Wilson & LeAnn Rimes--and selected to play Justin Timberlake's backstage party on the tour stop, his soon-to-be-released studio debut produced by Grammy winner Jay Joyce showcases a variety of sounds--country, alt-country, rock, pop, folk, and combines a little a bit of everything into a fresh, dreamy yet earthly sound. The cd pulls from a variety of musical influences that range far beyond his years. These influences include George Strait, Tom Petty, The Mavericks, Jim Lauderdale, Ray Charles, Dwight Yoakam, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jonathan Richman, George Jones, Gypsy Kings, Willie Nelson, Love, Buddy Holly, The Pixies, Townes Van Zandt, Elvis to Chris Isaak --the list goes on and on. A Notre Dame grad with good roots (hes a descendant of Texas Alamo hero William Barret Travis), his live shows are high energy explosions. Atlanta's Creative Loafing notes, "He's a troubadour that blends it all together at the bumpy crossroads of slick Nashville and gritty Austin." Jimmy has the rare gift of crossing over without losing authenticity.

Hi Jimmy,

Thought I would just drop bye, to say hi. It is a bank holiday weekend in the UK and the weather here in London is looking good.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Regards,

Andy
