Jim Minor was a very good singer, folks - just listen to his 'Satan's Chauffeur' - it's like Johnny Cash at his best. I have heard Jim's versions of many standards like 'So Doggone Lonesome', 'Death Row', 'Goin' To Memphis', 'Give My Love To Rose', 'Five Feet High And Rising' and 'Lonesome Number One' ... and not to forget 'I'm A Fool For You´'.

Jim Minor owned Colt "45" Records of Flint, MI 1959. Artists on the label were: Connie Dycus, Eddie and Don, Paul and Larry and Donna Chrysler. Jim Minor published Narvel Felts, Jimmy Edwards, Connie Dycus and Vada Belle and Alice Berry through Mercury Records all in the 1950s all rockabilly. Jim played on the Grand Ole Opry Oct. 1961

Jim Minor was approached by Art Talmadge of Mercury records in 1960 and Art wanted a song about Chessman. Jim wrote DEATH ROW and it was released in the Spring of 1960 by Mercury Records. The song was played on the radio some but for most it had to of a morbid title to it for DJs to play. When Chessman was executed in 1960 the song kinda died with it. Marlon Brando approached Art and wanted a song for one of his movies but that never happened.

Jim,
I've been listening to your old songs on U-tube. You have a GREAT voice. A little Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves and Ernest Tubb all wrapped up in one sound.
I just cant figure out why you were not on the Grand Ole Opry and well known like the singers I mentioned above.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas...and Have a happy New Year!
Great singing
Dan

Forgot this Jim...must have been really something to play with all the session players from this era. Chet, Floyd Cramer, Grady...etc did you ever meet Hank Garland?

The song gives me the chills, "as the gas around me creeps and longs me to my final sleep" still today. Chessman was a household name back then. He was all over the tv and radios.

Anything Chessman is kick ass, It's so awesome that your dad wrote a song about him.
The song depicts it quite well, I mean the vibe fits very well.
