Ask for Jim Pipkin CDs at any
ZIA Records Exchange location in Arizona or Nevada!
Western campfire stories set to music; ghosts, gunfights, lost mines and hidden treasure. Also contemporary Americana, some Bluegrass and enough Country to stay alive in most roadhouses.
I do some blogging for
Hickory Wind, a neat Americana music resource for reviews, interviews, and commentary!
Oh yeah, the bio. Let's keep it brief. It all started when I fell off a mule.
That was at age six, and I haven't been right since. Still don't completely trust mules. I currently live in Arizona, where I am a Residency Roster Artist for the Arizona Commission on the Arts. My wife Alice and I are the prized possessions of two cats. Where the dog fits in we're not sure. The dog worries about it a lot.

New job! Yea! I'm glad you are happy there - really makes a world of difference, quality of life wise, to like and respect the folks you work with. Glad to hear the good news, Jim! JoLynn
Hot as hell here in Texas - no fireworks this 4th of July...I've watered down the lawn in defense! How 'bout in your neck of the woods?
My old gal, Hayley Ann, finally got her a skunk - it bit her on the jaw, took off and left her a snout full of stink - ugh. And of course, you know that the greyhounds sleep in the room right close to my bed.. It's been just lovely, Jim. :^,
Hey! Only five more days until I am in El Paso... :) I was practicing my "HOWDY!" until they told me that they are more New Mexico there, and as such do not "howdy" anyone... Oh well... :) BTW - A comment on another friend's page this morning had their version of this picture... Seems like a LOT of us are playing at this particular venue! HAAAAA!!!
~Soft Smiles~Thank you for the B-Day wishes. LOL and yes I already know about the Aspirin but I don't think its going to get that drunk out for my B-Day.
About the downloads...anything I can do to help? Can put a link on my page for your music?... All they need to do is hear you! Your music speaks for it self! Let me know.... ~anjyll~
I uploaded a brand new song and lyric sheet today. Perhaps my best work to date. Musically dynamic, a powerful story, with a catchy hook. “Take good care of my girl” features Cody Gibson on lead vocal. Everything else is just lil’ ol’ me in my home studio. You might be impressed. Stop by and give it a quick listen and please, let me know what you think! Thanks in advance for listening!
Wow! Thanks for the birthday wishes! Just the thought of spending my birthday in a hot tub fulla starlets makes my whole day!!! And here's a slightly late best birthday wishes to you too! Fifty! Damn, I'm glad I'm not that old!
You had a birthday..and you're still younger than my baby sister! Hope you had a lovely day doing whatever you pleased ~ Cheers for all the years to come! JoLynn
Hey there Jim, Just uploaded a new I song I wrote called "Drive". Its a bit more "Rockish" then my usual stuff lately, to say the least :) Kind of to showcase my love for vocal and guitar harmonies as you'll hear at the end. Sure be cool if I had a band to work with, but what you hear is all me. Love to hear what you think.
So sorry I missed your Birthday! I hope ya had a great one? Just stoping by to enjoy some great songs and wish ya well. I hope all is going well for ya?
