James Otto and Jimmy Wayne at Majestic Theatre
Though Jimmy Wayne might often come off just like so many other polished, soft-focus songwriters stalking Nashville these days, it's hard not to imagine something a little less pleasant lurking in there somewhere. Perhaps it's his backstory, which includes fleeing a violent family situation at age 15 and living on the street, or maybe it's the little hint of grit that stays in his voice even on his drippier numbers. Last year, he followed his 2003 self-titled debut with Do You Believe Me Now?, which indulges in a few cheesy, overproduced flourishes but still has its tough-shit side—the title single is about fretting over an ex and the guy who stole her.
