From his late teens Jim hitchhiked or hopped trains all around the US, finally after many years settling in Terlingua, West Texas. From the opening track 'Eugene to Yuma' you are taken on a train ride of his influences on this lovely mix of Folk, Old Timey Country, Tex-Mex, Blues and Garage Rock.

Think Dylan/Guthrie /van Zandt with a splash of Waits and you begin to see the landscape of Jim Keaveny's 5th cd 'Out of Time.'

Stand out tracks for me include 'From the Black'. 'Ridin'Boots', Out of Sight', (I'm sure I can hear Mr. Waits rasping his way through this one !) and 'The Girl', although I think this is a cd which will throw up new favourites every time you put it on.

If you are looking for something to re-ignite your love of Americana/Country or looking for a new road, then look no further than Jim Keaveny's 'Out of Time.
