Jim Carr has been playing and singing traditional country music for over 30 years. Jim hails from Portland, Oregon and performs mostly the country music he loves: hits of the 50s and 60s. The set list below shows many of the tunes Jim and his band perform. A wide range of traditional country styles are represented here, from hardcore honky-tonk to western swing to bluegrass.

 


If you hanker after the kind of country that your mama and daddy used to love, then Jim's your singer. His shows are filled with the songs of the country legends: Hank Williams, George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Thompson, Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, Faron Young, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Webb Pierce, Stonewall Jackson, and many others.
