I only have one way to describe to you who Jim White is.  It is both ominous and pinpoint accurate.  It also just might be the best description I have heard of anyone and their music in a long time.

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.

For an introduction how about a few tracks from last year’s “Transnormal Skiperoo” and a couple from his new live EP “A Funny Little Cross to Bear”.  You can check out the rest of his discography, read a little more about him on his MySpace page or his Label Site.  I also don’t want you to forget about his Daytrotter Session as well - find it here.

Have a great “Southern gothic” Monday.
