Passion For Adventure

So many people live within unhappy circumstances

and yet will not take the initiative

to change their situation because they are conditioned

to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism,

all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,

but in reality nothing is more dangerous

to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

The very basic core of a one's living spirit is their passion for adventure.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence

there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,

for each day to have a new and different Sun.

~ Christopher McCandless

This was Jim's eighth recording from 1999. It's a collection of "trail songs" inspired from the long trails he has been fortunate enough to follow over the years.

Jim Stoltz lives the life of the wandering troubadour. He not only spends much of the year touring with his multi-media concert, Forever Wild. but he also walks the talk.

For over 25 years, he has taken to the backcountry, walking America's last wild places for months at a time.

Nearly 25,000 miles have passed since his first trek, and he's still at it.

Jim's music shares the magic of the backcountry experience. It captures the spirit of the wide open trails and the taste of the wild wind.

With his eighth recording, Walkin' Jim offers us a glimpse of the wild places: a joyous howl from the deserts, mountains, forests and canyons he has walked: a voice from the long trails.
