Jim Allison...

    has been in the music business most of his life.  After a career singing and playing his Gretsch Guitar all over our United States, he opened his studio in Nashville, Tn.  In 1985 he founded  the Aria Record Label and Allisongs and used his time in Nashville to launch the musical careers of some of our greats.  He can offer you the tools to be successful in your own right.   
     Brent Burns, pictured below, has had 9 albums produced by Jim.  Brent is an award winning act in the "Trop Rock Music" scene.  In 2010 Jim produced and co-wrote Trop Rock Music award winning album and song, "I've Got a Beach in My Backyard" with Brent.

How can they sound so good and be so inexpensive?

Formerly in the heart of Music Row, Nashville North Studios now has 2 production studios - one in Nashville, Tennessee and a new studio in Linwood, New Jersey.  Our New Jersey location is close to New York City, Philadelphia, Pa. and Washington, D.C. 
Allisongs  is  the  very  studio  where  Billy  Ray  Cyrus  was  discovered  and  Grand  Ole   Opry legend  Del Reeves  recorded his greatest hits album.   At Nashville North Studios we do the tracks, each instrument, one at a time for optimal tightness and sound. 

I'm a songwriter outside of Nashville, how can I use Allisongs?
You no longer need to live in Nashville to get that Nashville sound.  Now it is just as easy as if you were living within the Music City limits. We specialize in professional mail order demos. This is a service created especially for those song writers who need that radio-ready Nashville sound.

Who are the musicians on my demo?
Buddy Jewel and Grammy Award Winner Linda Davis were both demo singers for Allisongs. Now they are world famous stars.  We have everyone from Hank Williams Jr. and Kid Rock's steel guitar player to Loretta Lynn's star back up singer. Want that rockin' sound? Then we use members of one of Nashville's most popular rock bands!  We have professional  musicians who can play any genre of music.

What's the price and what's included?
The current price for 1-4 songs is $650. per song. You get the sound that others charge you more than $1000 per song for and they more than likely have not produced & published hits  that went on to be #1 recordings on the Billboard charts! Included studio musicians are: Drums, bass, rhythm guitars, lead guitars, pianos, strings, acoustic guitars, organ, and percussive additions. The $649 per song also includes vocals, harmonies, all production, mixing, mastering, and digitizing to a CD.  It also includes shipment back to you.  


What if I want a special instrument not listed?
If you need special instruments (such as  harmonica, fiddle, steel guitar, etc.), it is an additional charge of  $150 per song.

Can I hear some samples of other's demos?
Of course! To listen to the female demo click here.  
To listen to the male demo click here.

Remember these are mp3 quality for internet download, and what you'll get will be over 10 times the quality of this.

How do I get started? - (Songwriter's Demos)
All you do is send your work tape, 2 copies of the lyrics,  production notes and payment to Allisongs. Just contact Jim via email at JimA1426@aol.com or you can call him personally at  615.268.1680. If you do email, please include a phone number where you can be reached.  Jim will give you the address to send your packages to.

What do I need to send you?
Work tape should be a vocal accompanied by at least one musician. And, don't worry - the work tape is supposed to be rough! Production notes can be anything from "I'd like a Brooks and Dunn feel production with a Toby Keith vocalist sound", etc..  this gets us right in line with what you're wanting the outcome to sound like. The turnaround rate is currently 3-4 weeks.

What forms of payment do you accept?
Check or Money Order. Just email (JimA1426@aol.com) or call Jim at 615.268.1680 to get the mailing address to send your payment.

I'm a singer, but have no original songs! Help!
It is widely known that record labels are not interested in being pitched songs where people are singing the latest Martina McBride song (or whomever the latest hit is by!). If you are a singer who finds yourself singing cover songs and you don't have your own originals, Allisongs has ownership of a catalog of original songs written by some of Nashville's chart topping writers. These are songs never used by major label artists and are available for you to use, to sing, to put on your own album, and to promote your vocal talents with a brand new potential hit behind you!
