Description

Singer-songwriter Jim Bohn covers a lot of ground both literally and figuratively on this new CD, "These Walls Tell a Story." These songs cover the American landscape, from trailer parks and roadside diners in the South to abandoned steel towns in Pennsylvania to working-class grit in the Midwest. And the tunes visit a wealth of musical styles ballads, blues, country rock and southern rock, pure country, even a touch of Cajun.

But what you notice most is the absolute honesty of Bohns songs in telling the truth of a situation, whether it be a relationship, his (and our) heritage or history revisited. This vibe starts at the beginning and continues through to the last notes, with smart and unpretentious lyrics about folks living the way they want to and what it means to them, no matter how it appears to others.

Bohn drew inspiration from his travels and the people he met and observed along the way. As he says, "Everyone has a story." And he drew inspiration from places within as well as those places with other walls that could tell stories too. In these detail-rich songs filled with strong images, listeners can appreciate and absorb a wide range of experiences and sensibilities.

Whether it is the surreal portrait of a lonely, honk-tonk bar in the title track or painful love in the George Jones-like "Treacherous Heart," Bohn hits the mark by being engaging and real. Youll taste the sweet potato pie in "Swamp Dawg Band." live the "hard-core truth" of "I Never Loved You," ride the emotional roller coaster in "What Seems Like Hell to You," and celebrate the joy of new life in "Rhea Rose."

Good songs leave us richer and wiser. These are good songs.

Jim Bohn: Good stuff from Grafton
I'm always optimistic when I open the mailbox and there's a CD-sized envelope fighting for space amongst the credit card offers.

In some instances, I've been more pleasantly surprised than in others. That's the case with Jim Bohn, whom I'd never heard of although he lives just up the road. Well, thanks to a recent trip to the mailbox, I've heard of him now and I like what I've heard.

His new CD, "These Walls Walls Tell A Story," (Jim Bohn with The Swamp Dog Band & The Sweet Magnolias), is a fine collection of Americana-based songs - some country, some blues, some folk and sometimes all three at once.

Nice touches of harmonica, slide guitar, steel guitar and sax augment the solid songwriting, playing and production. As background vocalists, The Sweet Magnolias can flat-out sing.

Jim delivers the goods! Audible fun...toe-tappin', head bobbin', finger snappin', back-to-basics, free-wheelin', pure and proud Americana-Country-Rock, with some surprises and top-notch production. There's not a word wasted in Jim's honest and colorful lyrics. Listen to this every morning to start your day and you can throw out your Prozac. - Tracy Jane Comer
