Jim & Lynna Woolsey

Jim and Lynna Woolsey will perform live at the Mitchell Opera House on November 2nd at 7:00 p.m. After performing together for nearly three decades, Jim and Lynna finally decided it was time to make a professional CD with professional musicians. They called Randy Kohrs and the rest is history. Randy not only produced/engineered, but also play resonator guitar & sang harmony on this CD. Mike Sumner co-produced and played banjo. Clay Hess added great mandolin tracks, Mark Fain added an awesome upright bass track, and Tim Crouch outstanding fiddle tracks. "It's been a lifelong dream to produce an album of our original material, said Jim.
