FISH HEAD MUSIC LLC
PUNTA GORDA, FLORIDA

During his 15-year corporate career, his job allowed him to live in several interesting locales, such as Montana, New Orleans, and St. Simons Island, all of which would figure prominently in his writing. Following a business trip during which he renewed his love affair with the southwest coast of Florida, Jim took the leap he had been contemplating for some time and left the corporate world for good. A fortuitous meeting with recording artist Randy Matthews would result in Matthews producing Morris’ first recording, “Laid Back and Key Wasted,” released in 1996 by Fish Head Music. As you would expect, each song tells a story: the title track is about a guy who gives up the corporate world for the beach; one is about the exploits of a pilot who flies contraband; another is about roadkill and the people who collect it; others tell great stories of sailing, fishing, and drinking. “After my first CD was released, I changed my focus. I stopped playing bars so much and I worked coffeehouses and bookstores. I wanted to play before a listening audience who might appreciate what I had to say. I made less money, but I started to develop a fan base.” Jim returned to the studio during the summer of 1997 to work with noted guitarist/producer Chris Hattingh. The result was “Bocanuts” which was released by Fish Head Music the following November. “Bocanuts” shows again that Jim is capable of creating memorable stories in a variety of musical moods. “With ‘Bocanuts’ I found a formula that I’m comfortable with and that people seem to enjoy: some tropical, some jazz, some country, some acoustic folk, and some humor. It certainly reflects my musical tastes.” What can We Help You with Today? I Need help with a new or existing order.
