Free Music Review: Another Wonderful CD from Jim
Hit: 5 Stars
This is yet another wonderful CD from Jim. I love all of the songs with Plywood Superman being my favorite. Like all of Jim's songs, this CD takes you to another world through dark hopelessness and than back to the light. As a matter of fact, I think Jim actually wrote a happy song on this CD call Diamonds to Coal. The music and lyrics are top notch and the understated production of this CD vs the Drill a Hole in that Substrate brings this CD back to the roots of Jim earlier Wrong Eye'd Jesus songs.
Keep up the great work Jim, it was great seeing you in Santa Cruz and give us a new CD soon!
Transnormal Skiperoo Poster
Transnormal Skiperoo is a name I invented to describe a strange new feeling I've been experiencing after years of feeling lost and alone and cursed. Now, when everything around me begins to shine, when I find myself dancing around in my back yard for no particular reason other than it feels good to be alive, when I get this deep sense of gratitude that I don't need drugs or God or doomed romance to fuel myself through the gauntlet of a normal day, I call that feeling 'Transnormal Skiperoo. Jim WhiteJim White traveled many a junkyard road to get to Transnormal Skiperoo. Raised in Pensacola, Florida, a town crushed between the church and heroin, Jim s songs reach deep into the underbelly of the South. One time Pentacostal, fashion model, New York taxi driver, drifter, pro-surfer, photographer, film-maker, his music is the conduit for all the stories he collected along the way. His previous albums Wrong-Eyed Jesus [1997], No Such Place [2001] and Drill a Hole in That Substrate... [2004] were acclaimed as masterpieces of outer space alt.country and established Jim as a phenomenal maverick talent. Jim also starred in the BBC4 film Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus , an award-winning road-movie exploring Southern culture through its music and stories. Now living in an old farmhouse in the backwoods of Georgia, Jim White may have finally reached a place called home, but his other search, for what he calls the gold tooth in God s crooked smile continues in this new set of backyard tales. Transnormal Skiperoo was produced by Joe Pernice and Michael Deming, recorded with the band Ollabelle, and also features tracks with Tucker Martine and Laura Veirs, local Georgia legend Don Chambers & Goat, bluegrass duo Jeff & Vida and percussionist Mauro Refosco of Forro In The Dark.
Jim White is a highly original voice in the immense Southern gothic tradition. When broken humanity aches for grace, music like his may give you a shot at redemption.
