About This:
Jim’s contemporary blues-rock style has a uniquely modern feel with contemporary lyrics and explosive guitar lines, but it respectfully bows to the core soul that has been embodied in the blues throughout the ages. His newest album, Overclocked, is an ambitious, perfectly crafted 13-song set of original blistering blues, sophisticated jazz, heavy rock and tender pop ballads spotlighting his virtuoso guitar chops, creative lyrics and mellifluous vocals. Recent quotes about Overclocked: "He almost smokes the strings off his guitar in a shocking display of electric fretboard mayhem." -Dave Rubin, 2005 KBA Winner in Journalism “…if Eddie Van Halen had played the Blues he would've sounded like Jim Allchin." -Barrel House Blues, September 2011
