Bio / Background
In the end, songs are just experiences put to music, experiences that haunt the singer and the listener equally, and bring the two together in empathy. Jim Stanson knows something about that.
Stanson has been playing and writing for years, working with musicians of all stripes. He’s traveled from his hometown of Philadelphia to Nashville and Austin, among others, to get the right feel and sound to his straightforward songs. His new album, “Heart Full of Fire”, includes such luminaries as Jim Wieder (The Band, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards) on guitar; Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen) on guitar, slide and lap steel; “Scrappy” Jud Newcomb (Ian McLagen, The Resentments) on slide; Kurt Johnston (Bon Jovi, Sugarland) on pedal steel and dobro; as well as a host of other more local musicians.
Stanson’s music can be called “Americana Roots Rock,” but the emphasis is certainly on the roots rock.
↓ more ↓The singer/songwriter/guitarist spent his misguided youth garnering a name for himself playing in local (Philly) bands like The Main Offenders and Loose Change. And no matter how hard he tries, he can’t escape his fascination with rock’n’roll; music is like a disease to Stanson. He is moved to create.
Not surprisingly, his biggest influences include like-minded musicians: Dylan, The Stones, Tom Petty, The Faces as well as a host of older blues. He is drawn to the same sort of music that he creates—music that comes from the heart through the experiences of the heartbroken. Add to this his recent forays into the Texas music scene and alt country artists, and what you’re left with is a songwriter whose music is grown from Americana roots and tradition but is seeped in passion, a passion to create.
Stanson’s next step is to gather all this passion and talent together and step into a more national arena, either as a singer or a songwriter or both.
After all, his music is accessible because his experiences of love and heartache are ones we all can share. Many of the 13 songs on “Heart Full of Fire” were written during periods of personal struggles, triumph, loss, and healing. The songs that came out of those experiences can touch us all. “Love gone wrong/love gone right/Stay with me baby/Don’t leave me tonight.” Isn’t that what all songs, in the end, are about? Stanson uses his experience to paint pictures of himself we all recognize; we see ourselves in his music. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.
