The single "Rusty Old Halo" was first issued on the small independent label called Shanon - only 100 copies were pressed. A year later the song was leased to Lyco Records. John Hartford who formed the label to release the music of his bluegrass band, The Ozark Mountain Trio, started Shanon Records. The musicians on "Rusty Old Halo" were Jimmy on guitar and vocals, Bill Holmes on lead guitar and Wally Crouch on upright bass.

Jimmy says when Epic released "Woman, Woman" the first time they pressed up the wrong take. The producer, Billy Sherrill, sent two different master tapes to New York when the session had finished. The latter of the two masters being the correct one. So, in fact, there were two versions of "Woman, Woman" released in 1967. The second release, with "What Does It Take (To Keep A Woman Like You Satisfied)" on the b-side, was the version that should have been released in the first place.

In the mid 1980's Jimmy was assistant to producer Joe Gibson on an album called "Something Old, Something New" by Billy Parker.

The LP, on Soundwaves Records (SWS 3310) features Billy singing solo songs, together with a collection of duets with Webb Pierce, Cal Smith, Ernest Tubb, Darrell McCall, Bill Carlisle, Johnny Lee Wills, Jack Greene and Jimmy himself. Jimmy did the harmony on the song "Who Said Love Was Fair." Jimmy worked with Soundwaves in the 1980's running the publishing company and working on radio promotion. He left in 1988.

The album, re-named "Billy Parker And Friends" has since been released on Bear Family Records (BCD 15521) and Jimmy says he had a great time, as assistant producer, recording this album.

Jimmy, and his friend Jim Glaser, along with Doyle Grisham, Earl Ball Jr., Bill Holmes and Harold Bradley appeared as guests on an album by the Needham Twins called "In Between." 

The record, which appeared on the Identical label (0022) featured the tracks "In Between," "Bed Of Roses," "The Teachers," "Shiny Rails Of Steel," "Country Roads," "She Taught Me To Yodel," "All The World Needs Now," "Natalie Ann," "Pretty Girl From Springfield," "Your Laugh-In World," "Heck Of A Lot" and "Auctioneer." 

The album, which was self released by the Needham Twins, was produced by Chuck and Jim Glaser and recorded at their studio in Nashville.

The Needham Twins still play around the mid-west
