WHO IS JIM WHITE?
The Germans call him "ein Slacker mit Vision."
Some folks still talk about how he used to be a pro surfer; others say he was a fashion model in Milan . . . or a taxi driver in New York City.
Luna Sol CD Review calls him "a liar, a cheater, a traveller, and a great storyteller."
The L.A. Times says he "fills his songs with ghosts and omens and angels, magic and death, enchanted insomniacs and humorously desperate inmates on the run, all moving through a dimly lit dream world that the off-kilter folk accents of his musical arrangements locate in some Gothic, swamp-misted imaginary corner of the Deep South."
Record label Luaka Bop, owned by David Byrne, calls him a "seeker, swamp-gassed mystic, polymath and loner . . . sharing an iconographic richness with the work of Southern gothics like Flannery O'Connor."
