“I’ve worked with Jim from the beginning of his recording career, playing guitar and other instruments as well as co-producing with him on various albums. Jim’s professionalism and attention to detail is unparalleled. He pushes artists to be the best that they can be, challenging each person to give their best. Jim always goes the extra mile on each project, not settling for anything short of perfection even if it means sacrifice on his part. I feel like a better musician when I’m around Jim and feel proud to be a part of what he offers as a musician, producer, engineer, band mate, and friend.”

Matt Christenot – “To Look on You”

Co Producer, Engineer, Mixing

Yes, Jim makes incredible sounding records, but that’s not the real reason I keep going back to work with him. The real reason is that Jim creates an environment in the studio where you actually want to make music. He gives you the space as an artist to create without having to constantly looking at the clock and think about money. He’s also a fun guy to punt footballs with.

Matt Christenot – Lawrence, KS

“Jim is the consummate recording master! I know that any track I lay in his studio is going to sound world class!!”

Jeff Mills –session drummer, clinician, and instructor

Tandem – Selected Singles – “Smile”, “Pop Song”

Engineer, Mixing

“I could not ask for a better experience from a studio. Not only is Jim professional, he is also hospitable and flexible. These things are crucial in the creative experience. And because Jim is a musician, the process is completely different than when one is working with a producer or engineer that can’t really translate what he is hearing in his head. It’s easy. It’s fun.”

Josh Maze – Worship Leader – High Point Church Memphis, TN

Tom Edwards Band – “Songs We Didn’t Write” (EP)

Producer, Engineer, Mixing

“You can listen to someone’s work and tell if they know what they’re doing, and it’s evident in just a short listen that Jim can deliver a quality recording. But as an artist, you’re trusting the engineer/producer with more than just the sound of your instrument or your vocal cords – the song is a part of your heart and soul, and you have to lay it out there and hope the person at the controls actually cares about that. I learned very quickly that I could trust Jim to care about the quality of the sound as well as the quality of the performance, and that’s what makes his work stand out from the crowd.”
