Jim White is a southern gothic alt-country singer-songwriter. He has released four albums as a solo artist.

While his music is based in americana, he borrows elements from rock, rhythm and blues, and even electronica, often piecing sounds together in the lo-fi cut-and-paste fashion of artists like Tom Waits. His albums have featured a wide variety of collaborators, such as Victoria Williams, Morcheeba, Aimee Mann, Barenaked Ladies, and Joe Henry. He is signed to David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label and appeared in the BBC documentary, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which looks at musicians inspired by the culture of the American South.

Not be confused with the acclaimed Dirty Three / Cat Power / Smog / P. J. Harvey / Nina Nastasia drummer, who also had a recent collaboration album “You Follow Me” with Nastasia under the name of Nina Nastasia And Jim White

Transnormal Skiperoo sends a shiver down my spine every time I listen to it, a modern day classic! Also Enjoyed your show at the Roundhouse London, and I would have given you more for the bass amp!

amazing listening to him introducing 'chasing tornados' song live, such a storyteller as well as brilliant musician. 'substrate' is the most amazingly produced cd ever..such textures!

I saw Jim live in Cleveland on May 10, and it was hands-down one of the best shows I've ever been to.

A good friend of mine gave me a copy of Drill A Hole... a few years ago and I am only now getting round to listening to it. More fool me for waiting all this time. Bluebird <3

The Jim White that has worked w/PJ is a different feller, the drummer from Dirty Three. He also recently did an album backing Nina Nastasia, which confused me as well. I would say that many folks who dig one would get the other and anything related. Weird how that works. As far as albums to get from the singer-songwriter, both No Such Place and Drill a Hole in That Substrate... are good.

I just can't get enough of Still Waters! I'm definitely going to have to buy one of his albums, but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions? (I have the Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus soundtrack.)
