info_outlineJim joined the Navy in 1963. In 1968, he moved to New York City and started playing the coffeehouse circuit. He joined a band called The Good Earth.
When Kama Sutra/Buddha records released "Songman" in 1971, The songs from "Songman" received steady airplay on WNEW-FM. "Simple Song" became an anthem for many listeners looking for some healing and gentleness.
Jim’s second album "You'll Never Be Lonely with Me" followed the same year and produced some of Jim's most memorable songs. Soon after, Terry Cashman and Tommy West were brought in to produce Jim’s third album. Cashman and West had recently been very successful producing Jim Croce’s hit records. Jim got a new record deal with RCA and they were off and running.
The resulting album, simply titled "Jim Dawson", is one of the classic albums in pop music history. Great songs, great singing, great production. The songs from this album still bring cheers at Jim's shows and you can always see lot's of fans singing along.
During this time, Jim's popularity continued to grow and he sold out shows at the Bitter End, My Father’s Place and the Schaefer Music Festival in the NYC area.
"Elephants in the Rain" was Jim’s fourth album (second on RCA) and was again produced by Cashman and West. A worthy follow up to the "Jim Dawson" album, "Elephants" introduced great new JD songs like "Rainy Sunday" that fans still request today.
Today, Jim is performing regularly in the NYC area.
