Jim Bob - Automatic (2025)
Automatic is a confident, melody-rich continuation of Jim Bob's solo trajectory—full of wit, heartfelt hooks, and storytelling in full-band mode.
Its lush, reflective rock vibe brings early- to mid-1970s influences, with a laid-back delivery that allows the songs to breathe.
The songwriting remains sharp, from the poignant “Balloon Release For Arthur” to the biting “Frank Bought A Drone.”
Standout moments include the touching duet “Our Forever Home” and the playful, anthemic “Victoria Knits The Wars.”
Overall, Automatic feels like a warm, thoughtful companion to its punkier counterpart Stick, showcasing Jim Bob at his narrative and melodic best.
