   San Bernardino, CA - The Jim Cook Band has had it's first CD album released 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 euphemistically 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, ladies of the night , and crooked gamblers. Jim Cook's 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 him into the number one position once and the number two position twice on the Nashville Independent Rating Charts. You may contact Jim Cook through his producer Taylor McKinnon; 6144 Orange Knoll Ave.; San Bernardino, Ca, 92404, or TaylorMAC Productions; PO Box 381; Patton, Ca, 92369, or calling (909)862-3666. Jim may be seen, heard, and bought on various web sites and record stores. Search for Jim Cook on CDBABY.com, or Jetspeedrecords.com, or Statuerecords.com, or Towerrecords.com, or Tricopolisrecords.com. Other CD albums released by Jim Cook and Taylor McKinnon have been "Everything I Do Turns To Cash" and "The Victors". They are available on the aforementioned web sites. He was described by a Nashville publisher as more Cash than Cash, but his Merle Haggard influence is evident.

THE NORTHWEST GETS A TASTE OF DELTA BLUES

Press release submitted by: Trevor Lyman

   Seattle-based acoustic guitarist, John Williams smoky, funky, sometimes jazzy tunes will definitely get under your skin.
   Like a wonderful slow-cooked stew left to simmer, John has slowly but surely saturated the music scene with the release of three CDs. The first two, released in 1998 and 2000 respectively, are now available as a compilation entitled, "Hand Picked/Long Ride Home". The tracks feature an instrumental country/rock sound similar to guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton or the Hellecasters.
   John's third CD, released in 2002 and aptly titled, "Acoustic Country Blues Guitar" harkens back to another era, featuring instrumental works done in the style of old-time country blues sometimes called delta blues. The album's ragtime feel takes its inspiration from influential artists of the 20s and 30s like Lonnie Johnson and Robert Johnson. More modern inspiration comes from Pat Donahue, Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins.
   John's music can be found on Magnatune.com and CDBaby.com.
