ARTIST BIO:
Jude Cole is an American singer-songwriter, manager and record producer who started out as a four-sets-a-night musician, sideman and session guitarist, graduated to solo artist with three albums on Warner Bros. in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, one release on Island Records, (1995) and has released his music independently since.
The Carbon Cliff/Silvis, IL native’s father made his living as a car salesman, real estate salesman and more than that, full time gambler, with a stay-at-home mom. Cole grew up subconsciously groomed by the country records played in his home, listening to the likes of George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Bobby Bare and Kris Kristofferson, learning from his dad where the hook lay in each song.
Hearing Elvis Presley and Meet the Beatles was a game-changer. Picking up a broom and pretending it was a guitar, he eventually became the proud owner of a 60’s Harmony Rocket. At the age of 12 he formed a series of garage bands, eventually quit high school at 18 and, in 1978, took his first-ever flight in a prop plane to Southern California in search of a musical career.
Moon had his own critical success in the US and overseas with “Rolene” and “Bad News”. Cole learned a lot about writing from Moon and finally co-wrote two cuts with him, “No Dice” from the album Street Fever, and “She’s In Love With My Car” from Mystery Ticket. At the same time Cole’s “Paula Meet Jeanne” was covered by British Rockabilly/New Wave artist Dave Edmunds for his DE7 album.
Concurrently, he moved to London to join the U.K. band The Records, recording their 1980 album, Crashes, and going once again on the road opening for the likes of The Police, Joe Jackson and The Pretenders. For this time, and the next 7 years, Cole toured with Moon Martin, The Records, Dwight Twilley, Billy Thorpe, as bassist for Del Shannon, provided background vocals for primetime TV shows, and wrote and performed the theme song for Alan Carr’s Where the Boys Are ‘84.
Cole has also composed musical scores for several films and contributed guitar to Randy Newman’s “Maverick” and James Newton Howard’s “Grand Canyon”, and has played guitar, bass, keyboards and background vocals on albums with Lifehouse, Jewel, Beth Orton, Travis Tritt, Moon Martin, One OK Rock and many others.
By the early ‘80s, Cole had burned out on the seemingly endless touring life, and began working on his own songs with an eye towards a solo career. Through a connection with Chicago’s Peter Cetera, Jude was signed to Warner Bros. Records and released his self-titled debut in 1987, featuring Russ Titelman as producer.
Produced by noted film composer and friend James Newton-Howard – 1992’s Start the Car found him taking a more heartland roots-rocker Americana direction. Songs like title track “Start The Car” (R&R top 5 Rock), the yearning power ballad, “Tell the Truth” (cowritten by Howard), and the harmonica-laced country swagger of “First Your Money (Then Your Clothes)”, a song he co-wrote with frequent collaborator George M. Green, based on a saying Jude’s poker-playing father would declare when on rare occasion he came home a loser. -“That’s the way it goes… First your money, then your clothes”
Encouraged by his manager, the late Ed Leffler, (Van Halen, Sammy Hagar) – Cole left Warner Bros. to sign with Island Records for his fourth solo album, 1995’s I Don’t Know Why I Act This Way. This effort offered a darker, more pensive Cole, reflected in the Edward Hopper Nighthawks influenced album cover with songs like “Speed Of Life” “Believe In You” and “Joe,” featuring a spoken-word narrative from friend Kiefer Sutherland.
This move from Warner Bros. to Island Records was a poor choice, in Cole’s own words. “I probably suffered from too much respect for my manager,” he reflects. I did what he told me to do and didn’t consider the home I had built on my own or those who had invested in me at Warner Bros.
With his Island journey short-lived, Cole found himself uncertain of his future with a wife and two kids, no label and the musical climate changing dramatically.
