Recent Additions : Jim White vs The Packhandle Band

I have already written how I am a huge Jim White fan.  It has been a few years since a full release and his last did not grab me like earlier ones however he is back with Take it Like a Man a collaboration with the Packway Handle Band (what could be described as an alternative bluegrass band from Athens).

Jim is producing and writing credits are shared. Jim kicks things off well with another great tornado song

Not A Song is almost pure Packway  Handle and Blood on  The Fiddle shows their dedication to their muse in much the same way as Ringo's immortal "I've Got Blisters on My Fingers" does.

Corn Pone Refugee is what happens when Jim's songs get revved up.  Sorrow's Shine is becoming a favourite Jim White and leaves you wondering why he has not gone bluegrass earlier.  You can forgive its almost REMness.

And then the great remake of Wordmule where its absurdity is nicely exaggerated!!!
