In 2001, a year after his brother and band-mate, John Morris died in an automobile accident, Jimmy released his first solo record, Song Dog. Song Dog is a remarkably upbeat blend of folk-rock and pop reminiscent of the Jayhawks and fellow Canadians, Blue Rodeo. Rankin won numerous accolades and nominations including a Canadian Radio Music Award for Best New Solo Artist - Adult Contemporary, numerous ECMAs and two Juno nominations.

[Verse 1]
D Cadd2
Four thousand miles I wandered out there for a drop of love
G/B D G/B D
Remember we soared like the doves, now we are strangers

These days I'm building walls surrounded by danger

C G/B D
Hey Colorado, Don't tell me what I know about life itself

Passed bits of your heart around, Placed them back safe and sound

Back on the lovers' shelf

Buddha and Jesus and Gandhi, The girl sitting next to me
