Albums (1.)"Little Jo" - General Country: The album was done as a tribute to his friend, Jo Foster, and is about love, life, death and most of all time!............................................................ (2.)"The Lost Treasures of Domenico Scarlatti" - Classical Guitar: The album is dedicated to Chet Atkins without whose advise and inspiration it would not have been possible!...................................................... Domenico Scarlatti was born in 1685, the same year as J.S. Bach and George Frederick Handel. In this recording Jim does 14 of his sonatas, picking ones which he believes show the depth of his compositional skills as well as the deep beauty of his melodies. Unlike other classical guitar albums, Jim used a trio in this recording with Craig Nelson on upright bass and Tom Roady on percussion. The result is the sound of a jazz trio, playing classical music with the guitar line taken directly from the original harpsichord music....................................... (3.)"CD: The Coleman-Hinton Project, ' Lost and Found.' " - Pop: Recorded in 1969-71, the Coleman-Hinton project was destined to set a new course for Southern Rock and Roll. Many of the musicians who contributed to the recording have become legendary. Although not included in the credits, Duane Allman played on the record and on several demo's Jim did with Eddie Hinton back in 1969. Others like the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, King Curtis and the London Symphony need no introduction. Scheduled for release in early 1971, the record sounds like it was recorded only last week and has been hidden away for over a quarter of a century. Although desired by Atlantic Records the record was never released and Jim Coleman gave up his life as a musician and became a medical doctor. The master tape to the recording was only discovered in 1995 after the sudden death of Eddie Hinton who had kept it hidden with him for nearly 25 years. Now, finally, the Coleman-Hinton Project is available. How different the course of Southern Rock might have been if it had only surfaced in 1971.

Press Reviews Nashville Singer-Songwriter Jim Coleman, M.D. sings in an easygoing tenor. The slightly raspy quality of his voice keeps this country-music-veering-toward-Adult-Contemporary from getting saccharine. He's also an accomplished acoustic guitar player. Review by Listen.com
