Jimmy Work isn't a name that most country music fans are familiar with, even though he was the songwriter responsible for "Tennessee Border," "Making Believe," and "That's What Makes the Jukebox Play." Like a handful of performers, he worked happily at music for many years but felt privileged simply to have had the opportunity to record and perform, and gladly kept his day job as a millwright. Work was a prodigious talent with an ear for songwriting that would be the envy of most country players, and had a smooth-yet-jaunty honky tonk style. In 1986, Bear Family Records issued the first LP of Jimmy Work's songs, which was followed by a second vinyl disc, and later by a double-CD set from the same label, tying up all the loose ends of Work's career. ~ Bruce Eder
