In 1975, Jim Sullivan had all the potential of a classic rocker on the verge of making it big. After the release of his sophomore album, while driving from LA to Nashville, he disappeared somewhere in the New Mexico desert. Did he run afoul of the law? Did he get mixed up with a dangerous mafia family? Or did Jim Sullivan somehow foreshadow his own disappearance with an album he wrote, titled, UFO?
