Jimmy Wayne: Kiss From Patty Loveless “Rocked My World!”
Jimmy Wayne has been a fan of Patty Loveless, even when he was a kid. Jimmy tells The Boot “I’ve always been a huge fan of Patty Loveless. When I was nine years old, I lived on Second Street in Kings Mountain, N.C., on one end of that street. Patty lived in the brown trailer at the opposite end of that same street.”
Many years later, their paths crossed again, this time in the country music world. “Patty agreed to record a duet with me on the Do You Believe Me Now album, on a song called “No Good For Me,” Jimmy continued. “I wrote this song about an ex-girlfriend. Although she and I had a bad breakup, I didn’t want the song to be one dimensional, as if I was putting the blame all on her. Therefore, I asked Patty if she’d sing it with me. This allowed the responsibility to become ours. We were both equally to blame. We both were no good for one other.”
Fast forward to last month, and Jimmy and Patty met once again, this time for a kiss! Jimmy was on stage performing his hit “Stay Gone” when Patty surprised him on stage. “I heard another vocal come in while [I was] singing,” Jimmy told The Boot, still grinning from the excitement. “I turned around, and there stood Patty Loveless singing along with me. I was shocked. She walked out to the edge of center stage, l grabbed her hand and pulled her close. We sang together and danced as if we were the only two people there. It was so romantically sweet. Forgive me, I know she’s married — but face it, Patty Loveless is a very sexy lady!… The crowd cheered as Patty leaned in and gave me a kiss … That freakin’ rocked my world! It was a friendly kiss, but it was a kiss by Patty Loveless, and I’m the one telling the story … Let me fantasize.”
Jimmy is currently in the midst of his “Meet Me Halfway” campaign, raising awareness for homeless teens.
