Country star Jimmy Wayne is back with his new album, SARA SMILE. Jimmy's remake of the Hall & Oates pop classic is the centerpiece of an album that showcases his depth and range as a vocalist as well as a songwriter. The single, which rose to #35 on the US country charts is the highest chart debut of Jimmy's career - fitting for the song which Jimmy has described as his "sword and shield" throughout his career. " 'Sara Smile' is a song I've been singing for 13 years," says Jimmy. "I sang it on the prison yard when I worked at the prison. Even though I didn't write it, I sang it at writers' nights in Nashville. It is the song that taught me how to play the guitar. In 2002, I sang 'Sara Smile' for Scott Borchetta, and he gave me a record deal. This song has had a major impact on my life." Jimmy, whom Billboard recently lauded as "easily the most soulful of today's young country crooners," worked with three of the most sought-after producers in Nashville to craft his new album: Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Reba McEntire), Mark Bright (Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill) and Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift). SARA SMILE travels full circle exploring 360 degrees of Jimmy's artistry, talent and personality. His soulful singing permeates every note of such soaring, romantic ballads as "All the Time in the World," "Belongs to You" and "Counting the Days" while up-tempo rockers "There's a Memory" and "Things I Believe" showcase the raw energy experienced at the country star's dynamic live shows.
