JIM THE UNSTOPPABLE ALBUM MACHINE
As singer with Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, Jim Bob scored fourteen Top 40 singles and four Top 10 albums (including a number one). Carter toured the world and headlined Glastonbury before splitting and then reforming. As a solo artist, Jim has released twelve solo albums, as well as writing songs for Ian Dury and for a Barbican production of Mark Ravenhill’s Dick Whittington And His Cat.Cherry Red are proud to have worked with Jim for many years, particularly on albums Pop Up Jim Bob (2020) and Who Do We Hate Today (2021), as well as the Essential Jim Bob compilation. Today marks the release of not one, but two brand new studio albums. Automatic and Stick both offer a filler-free slice of silver-tongued sharp, witty social commentary wrapped up in Jim’s brand of catchy, intelligent indie-pop.
