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.

Grab your safety goggles and your hi-viz gear, because it’s time to Drill a Hole in That Substrate And Tell Me What You See.

Erstwhile druggie, drifter, storyteller, taxi-driver, recovering Pentecostal maverick from Pensacola, Florida. It’s the 20th anniversary of Jim White’s haunting outer space alt.country classic that has a title so long nobody can remember the name of it. Featuring Aimee Mann, M. Ward, Bill Frisell and the Barenaked Ladies—to name a few of the artists here—this album quickly rose to cult status. Pitchfork gave it an 8.1 and said, “White has enough guest musicians on this to populate any number of small towns.” They also said, “You won't hear another record like it this year, possibly ever. What all these disparate elements that White pulls together add up to is White's alone, a style with no real name, American as barbecue sauce on apple pie.” 

Now it’s on vinyl for the first time, pressed on Substrate Black in a gatefold jacket. And because he wasn’t wordy enough the first time around, Jim’s added THREE EXTRA TRACKS.

By the way, Jim will be on tour in the South in spring 2024. Find the details on his website: https://jimwhitemusic.net/.
