InfluencesThere are far too many influences among the members of The J.O.B. to assemble any kind of coherent list. In the words of 'Mama' Cass, "You've got to make your own kind of music." And that's what The J.O.B. does.
Sounds LikeThe J.O.B. sounds like a genuine Rock & Roll band - with no pretending and no role playing. The compositions are emotionally charged and real. Lead guitar licks reminiscent of Duane Allman or Clapton... rhythm guitar runs smacking of Marshall Tucker or Pink Floyd... intense bass lines leading the charge like Chris Squire of Yes... and thundering percussion of the same caliber that Danny Carey brings to Tool. Jim's vocals strike hard in every listener with a deep Americana quality that is both gritty and deliberate. As stated by a Richmond record producer after hearing a recent performance, "The J.O.B. really connects."

   About The J.O.B.

The J.O.B. (The Jim O'Ferrell Band) was formed in May 2008 after Jim returned from his 2nd combat tour in Iraq. A solo working guitar/vocalist for many years, he recognized the need for additional sound and talent to properly convey the passion of the many compositions he wrote while deployed into harm's way.

Enlisting the unique abilities of Jason Crawford on lead guitar, David Woods on bass, and Stephen Whitesides on drums, the band launched into its first collaborative recording project which became the album 'Back to the World', released January 8, 2009..

Now playing live shows in the Richmond VA area, The J.O.B. has been featured on FM Rock & Roll stations in various 'new artist' on-air segments with 'Vigilante' emerging as a strong and powerful single from the album. Their music is currently part of a national radio promotion and being spun on 150 radio stations nationwide.

I went to COB Speicher one time, it was one of my worst missions because on my way to Tikrit we got hit by an IED and that thing sent my co-driver to the Hospital (Speicher). Personally I hate guntrucks because they get destroyed all the time and there is no room inside those things, but I love the HETS because they are big as hell man!! ..well i will talk to you later, take care!!!

Thanks for supporting our Troops! I appreciate it and I know our Troops appreciate it. Please keep those affected by the tragedy in Fort Hood, TX in your thoughts and prayers.

If you would like to help us thank those still serving overseas and help those coming home wounded, please stop by the profile, read the latest blog and do what you can.

Thanks again and have a great weekend.
