Bob Harris Country

9PM, RADIO 2

It’s not easy being a black country music singer in America, but Jimmie Allen has made it. He arrived in Nashville ready to give the music scene his best shot, but found the going tough. Jimmie hung on in there, living in his car, being given the cold shoulder at auditions, then getting off the ropes and trying again. All that changed when he turned up at Broken Bow Records; they loved his voice and his songs, and they signed him up. Bob joins chart-topping Jimmie in Nashville for a studio session, and to hear about his UK appearance at C2C: Country To Country this spring.
