Album Description
Do You Believe Me Now is the next step in Jimmy's evolution as an artist. Time on the road has made his voice even stronger and more seasoned. Interaction with the fans has heightened his awareness of what an audience wants when they come to a show. Thus the new album is teeming with up tempo tracks. Jimmy has grown as a songwriter and with maturity comes a broader view of life that informs his music. While his first album was an intensely personal, almost cathartic collection, Jimmy's new songs tend to explore more universal themes, yet still maintain inspiration from an intensely personal place.

Do You Believe Me Now, features the hit single that has re-introduced him to a hungry country radio audience. The rest of the album runs the gamut from the summertime fun of "I'll Do That" to the sensual "One on One" about a couple needing their alone time.

A standout track is certain to be Jimmy's duet with Patty Loveless, titled "No Good For Me." "I hold honesty in lyrics and in vocal performance above all else in my music," he said. "For me, Patty represents the embodiment of honesty in music to which the rest of us can only aspire."

"Didn't Come Here to Lose" is a buoyant tune about not giving up on your musical dreams despite the challenges. "Where You're Going" is an empowering anthem that features a guest vocal by John Oates of the legendary duo Hall & Oates. Jimmy will be a special guest on Oates' forthcoming project.

One of the album's highlights is the autobiographical "Kerosene Kid," a song that holds special significance to Jimmy because of his extensive charity work with disadvantaged youth. "When you smell kerosene on a kid at school, you just know that they have a hard life," says Jimmy. "Usually the kids who heat by a kerosene heater are poor kids. They live in trailers or old houses and that's their only way of staying warm is to either use a kerosene or a wood heater. This song says `Don't let them get you down, keep your head up and stay proud.'"

Album Description
Character, creativity and an unbridled passion for life infuse Jimmy Wayne's music and reverberate through every track on Do You Believe Me Now, his debut on The Valory Music Co. It's definitely a change, Jimmy says of his new effort. 'The record that I put together only has two ballads on it and that's it. Everything else is up-tempo. I spent three years trying to find these songs that just really set me apart.'

I've loved Jimmy since I first heard "Stay Gone" on CMT. I've been wondering how good this album would be. It's been a long time coming. Would he sound good? Would the songs be cliched and boring? This album is ANYTHING buy a cliche or boring. He's evolved so much as an artist and this album proves it. The first album you could tell he was new to everything. This time around, he's comfortable. He's comfortable with himself, his music and who he is as an artist. Something that lacks in a lot of artists today. This is a fantastic album! :)


2 out of 5 stars Somewhat Disappointing   September 2, 2008

After being introduced to Jimmy Wayne with his popular hits "Stay Gone," "Paper Angels," and the heartfelt "I Love You This Much," I liked Wayne's music well enough to listen to but not necessarily well enough to buy. Then came the title track and first single from his latest album, "Do You Believe Me Now?" The single, which has yet to peak on CMT's Top 20, was definitely what Jimmy Wayne needed as a comeback after not having released any new music for a few years. Based on my liking for that song and the singles from his debut album, I purchased "Do You Believe Me Now?" and realized why I had previously been in that "not necessarily good enough to buy" stage- the rest of the album is fairly disappointing- nothing terrible, but certainly nothing great. It's safe to say that the album will let down most people who purchase it based on the single. Worth mentioning is the fact that the CD has two new recordings of "Stay Gone" and "I Love You This Much," neither of which are as good in my opinion as the original version of either song.

Prime Cuts: I Love You This Much, Stay Gone, No Good for Me (Duet with Patty Loveless)

The best singers are those who sing with a limp. Wayne, a North Carolina native has had his share of hardships. Abandoned by his father as a toddler, being a witness to his step-dad firing shots at his sister, abandoned later by his mother, these are tumultuous ingredients that would make into a moving biopic. Never one to wallow in self-pity, Wayne has mobilized his past as inspiration to write songs that go beyond the skin of relationships to expound on the marrow of life, suffering and pain. Evidenced especially on his debut album for the dysfunction Dreamworks Record, Wayne has crafted some of country music most affecting paeans. Further, vocally Wayne has a timbre that often shimmers with vulnerability and sensitivity that he would never have had if it were not for his past. However, with this new release, though Wayne still sings with the same passion, he's let down by the songs here. Call it sophomore slum or the enticement of commercialism, "Do You Believe Now?" sounds very much like any country record out there. Inoffensive to radio with the right undercurrent of electric jamming hard core rock, everything seems so tailored for success, except that the songs are just uninspired and dull.

Reminiscing most of Wayne's debut is the story song "Kerosene Kid." Telling the story of an impoverished child who was jeered at school because of the smell of kerosene oil, "Kerosene Kid" ought to cause a lump in the throat even for the hardest of hearts. However, the song is let down when Wayne has his cohorts have decided to turn such a heartwarming tale into a rousing rocker. Not that there's anything wrong with an uptempo, but the spouting guitars and ear-damaging drums take away the sentiments of the song. Much better is the bona fide ballad "No Good for Me." Here Patty Loveless adds her mountain pure soul vocals to this gorgeous love song as the two capture the exhilaration of cascading into love. Romance does remain the cynosure on a couple ballads: "I Will" and "One on One." Though both are likable, but they suffer from cliche lyrics that add nothing new to the genre of love songs. Here's a sample of the words from "I Will:" "I will, I will give up my life for you if you want it/Give you my heart, you already own it/I'll do anything, I'll go anywhere, it's true/I will, I will, I will..."

The title track, "Do You Believe Now?" already a top 5 hit, has everything country radio is vying for. Its ferocious guitar riffs and dramatic pull-no-punches vocals telling a tale of infidelity give an otherwise quite ordinary "Do You Believe Now?" an added heft towards success. Lori McKenna who is a recording artist in her own rights is best known for her songs crafted for Tim McGraw, Heidi Newfield and Faith Hill. Here she gets an entry "True Believer," a breakup tale with spiritual overtones, is passable without being stellar. The rest of the songs all fall into the same vein: there's nothing much to shout about except that they are all safe, radio friendly and pretty pedantic. The album closes with two of Wayne's biggest hits from his debut disc: a listen to them makes you realize how far Wayne has fallen from his former glory. Both "Stay" and "I Love You So Much" mines the depths of relationships with just the right shaft of emotions and carefully crafted words.

With such a gorgeous debut, "Do You Believe Me Now?" leaves lots more to be desired. Not that it's a bad CD, it's just ordinary. And with such a background Wayne has, he's capable of coming out with more insightful material than these. "Do You Believe Me Now?" may place Wayne's voice over the airwaves, but it's certainly not a CD that will be unforgettable. Let's hope, album number 3 will restore some more belief in Wayne.
