Jim Gaudet is back, no doubt about it.

Long a favorite on the Northeast folk scene, Jim has been, let's just say, missing in action for the past few years; tending to family duties and wondering whether or not he'd actually open his guitar case again.

Well, he has, and with a vengeance.

He has now fused his twin pasts to forge a new sound. Gaudet is anchoring his deft wordplay and savvy songcraft in the classic roots music that so thrilled him as a young man. It's a unique, driving style,firmly-based in Americana; and Gaudet's
own guitar work is now more fiery than ever,
characterized by  forceful, percussive rhythms
that lack for easy comparison.

Jim is “Recalling It Quits,” which just happens to
be the title of his brilliant new album, the first since
1999's critically-acclaimed “Give Up The Ghost.”

Gaudet’s ability to embrace folk, country, and
bluegrass while retaining his own unmistakable
identity is a.sure sign that he is sticking around
for the long haul.
