Jim Morris Interview on The Paul Leslie Hour

The Jim Morris Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

This is an interview from the archives with someone who won the hearts of so many people, who has since passed away.

Jim Morris was perhaps the most popular independent singer-songwriter and recording artist making island-inflected music. He was quite a songwriter and his albums are filled with some great stories.

To say he was a Jimmy Buffett clone is not at all accurate. Although influenced by Jimmy Buffett, Jim Morris was even more influenced by singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker and much of his songwriting was very lyrical. He was a storyteller first and foremost.

This interview Paul did with Jim Morris was recorded in an empty bar in Key West, Florida several years back. He told the story behind several of his popular songs and how he came to be the Jim Morris people traveled very far to see and hear. If this interview increases interest in his great work, our mission is accomplished.
