-[Release Notes]



By all Nash Vegas accounts, North Carolina singer/songwriter Jimmy Wayne

comes from the wrong side of the tracks. Born in 1972, he was abandoned

by his father at a young age and raised by a troubled mother and in a

series of foster homes when she was in prison. On his 15th birthday he

saw his stepfather shoot his stepsister three times, paralyzing her, and

survived a murder attempt by the same man. He entered, and then ran

from, a county home and became a homeless youth who did what he had to

to survive on the street. His encounter with a neighborhood couple led

them to give him a job and a place to live, and created the pillars of

his final foster family. With Beatrice and Russell Costner, Wayne was

able for the first time to indulge his love of music, which included

Hall & Oates, Alan Jackson, Lionel Richie, Ronnie Milsap, Iron Maiden,

Queensrÿche, and Judas Priest. He formed his first band, called

Fantasyche, and began taking music seriously.



When Beatrice died, Wayne finished high school and became a prison guard

at the Gaston Correctional Facility. An inmate who made an anti-drug

presentation using a guitar during a school assembly had influenced him

greatly. Wayne visited the inmate for songwriting advice and went to

work at the prison while studying criminal justice at a local community

college. After finishing his associate's degree, he left North Carolina

for Nashville.



For three years, he worked at Acuff-Rose writing songs alongside Dean

Dillon and Whitey Shafer, while polishing his playing and singing

skills. During this time he co-wrote Tracy Byrd's Top Ten smash "Put

Your Hand in Mine," with Skip Ewing. Wayne signed his own deal with

DreamWorks Nashville in 2001, after being courted by producer Chris

Lindsey and James Stroud. His debut was issued in June of 2003 and

placed a single in the Top Ten before release. "Stay Gone" was a

Billboard country hit. It was followed by "Paper Angels," a narrative of

Wayne's own life in the street and those he encountered there, "Blue and

Brown," about an encounter with a foster brother who became an inmate at

the prison where Wayne worked, and a devastatingly honest revenge

fantasy entitled "The Rabbit." Given the timing of its release, Wayne's

album turned a small industry buzz into a wildfire of publicity and

speculation about the new directions he was using in country music and

pop, which the industry glommed onto with desperate hope. Nashville's

identity problems in the early part of the millennium created a crisis

at radio and on CMT, leading the industry into a tailspin due to cookie

-cutter artists singing mediocre songs. Wayne may be pretty, but he is

substantive and presents an entirely new twist on the entire country

tradition. Billboard, country music, and even the Country Music

Foundation took an early and large interest in his career.
