Rough Trade Essential

Jim White (born 1962) is an Australian drummer, songwriter, and producer from Melbourne, Australia. He has been involved in various musical projects throughout his career, including Happy Orphans with Conway Savage and People With Chairs Up Their Noses. Jim has also played with bands such as Feral Dinosaurs, Brainshack, Venom P. Stinger, Hessian Sax, Conway Savage And The Deep South, Blackeyed Susans, Busload Of Faith, Kim Salmon's STM, Dirty Three and Charles Marshall And The Body Electric.

In addition to his band work, Jim has lived part-time in Chicago since the late 1990s and has collaborated with numerous artists as a session musician. He has contributed to records or tours with Will Oldham (*Bonnie "Prince" Billy*), Cat Power (*Chan Marshall*), Nina Nastasia, Smog (*Bill Callahan*), and White Magic. Jim is also a member of Tren Brothers (with Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner) and Boxhead Ensemble.

It is important not to confuse Jim White with the Americana singer/songwriter *Jim White*, who typically does not play drums.

Back In Stock

Stonewall classic. Jim White's debut album is a cinematic collection of Appalachia-inspired country-folk rendered with a gothic sensibility and junkyard atmospherics (the inclusion of Tom Waits collaborator Ralph Carney on several tracks lends the record a distinctly Waits-ish veneer). Drawing on his bizarre life experiences and troubled Pentecostal upbringing, White's narratives are surreal and crazed, shot through with disturbing spiritual imagery and backwoods dementia; a strangely beautiful record, Wrong-Eyed Jesus! is a fine introduction to a uniquely twisted talent.
