Jimmy Wayne released his self-titled debut album in 2003, with its first single, 'Stay Gone,' reaching the Top Ten on the Billboard country charts. The tune was inspired by the singer's sister, Patricia, who explained her marital troubles to Jimmy by saying she wished her husband would just "stay gone."So where was the North Carolina native when he heard his first and very personal record on the radio?
"I was in Tampa, Fla., sitting at a traffic light with Mike Culatta from WQYK," Jimmy explains to The Boot. "We were going to get sushi, and it came on the radio ... and I'm thinking, 'Dude! That's my song!' I use this analogy quite a bit: it was like that Bingo rush you get, multiplied by thousands. I rolled the window down and just yelled! It was incredible! I'll never forget that moment."
Jimmy's new album, 'Sara Smile,' will land on store shelves on Monday, Nov. 23.
