JIM SKIFF is quite a Renaissance man and then some. Jim hails from Pittsburgh. Pa is an award winning composer, actor, playwright and recording artist.He taught himself to play guitar after a bad head injury and attended Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California and became a founding member of the L.A. Jazz Choir which was Grammy Nominated.
He, also been featured in First Night Pittsburgh [Into the Fire] and the Carnegie Science Center [Rachel Carson. The Girl Who Loved The Sea] has been enjoyed by half a million adults and children in schools, museums and various other venues. He also was, musical director at the National Playwrights Showcase, and worked with Mad River Theatre Works and his own company, On The Wing Theater, plus various other shows.
Jim Skiff plays guitar/vocals, and his daughter,Erin is a featured vocalist, on backing vocals. This 12 song CD was Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Michael Hickman -Bass/Percussion/keyboards/horns. INNER CITY JITTERS kicks off this CD with a reflection of David Bowie's Golden Years, which is quite interesting.
OH WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE has a '60's music feel to it, which is quite nice to hear. The melody is quite cool and the guitar work is epic. THE WOLF WITHIN reminds me a bit of Steppenwolf as the guitar work is laid back but solid. Check it out. NOT A REVOLUTION has the best lyrics ever and this song would make Country Joe McDonald proud.
BLANKET OF HER LOVE is a love story song of how true love is with standing and never dies. BE BRAVE has an epic melody with amazing lyrics. This song goes out to everyone, so listen closely to the lyrics. I want to THANK JIM SKIFF for being in touch. You can find Jim Skiff at: You Tube, Spotify, Facebook, Music of Pittsburgh, Deezer, Pandora, iHeartRadio and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
