Once More With Feeling is an album released on cassette tape by Jim Kirkland in 1984. Jim released music alongside his wife Jean for many years, being cited as traveling from Florida to Canada for their performances and ministry work. It was once documented they drove over 50,000 miles a year during their peak of being on the road. While being from Kingsport here in Tennessee, Jim headed to Asheville, North Carolina to record this album at Dawn Records.
Jim served as pianist for the Sego Brothers & Naomi in the 1960’s for a total of 6 years, before making music with Jean. During this time Jim wrote some original songs for the group, included is a scan of a 45 record that cites him with the songwriting of the song “When Judgement Reaches Home”. Video footage exists of the Sego Brothers & Naomi, but none with Jim included.
Jim eventually gave up being pianist for the Sego Brothers & Naomi in 1966 to “respond to the call of God…. And enter full time evangelistic work.” Jim & Jean personally touched thousands with their faith-based services they conducted throughout North America.
