The Jim Cook Band has had its first CD album
realeased by TaylorMAC Productions, Holly Records. The CD called keeping
it country contains twelve songs, all stone country: not the
bubblegum music coming out of Nashville now and ephumistically called
COUNTRY MUSIC. Jim Cook who hails from Inez Kentucky has been writing and
playing country music(the real stuff,) since boyhood where he sang in
church. This experience still shows in his music as Jim has remained a
devoutly spiritual man despite the number of years he served as a deputy
sheriff in Kentucky , and the episodes he endured while dealing with the
more tawdry aspects of life, Arresting bootleggers,whores and crooked
gamblers. Jim Cooks songs and his rugged voice are a perfect
compliment to the emotional goals of his songs. He has created his own
band in San Bernardino California where the Jim Cook Band performs in
various venues,including Veterans organizations such as the American
Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He has had considerable success
marketing his albums on such E-net stores as CDBABY.COM, This has gotten
