Jim White - Sounds Of The Americans

Featuring 16 wildly eclectic songs from the score
Dan Nettles (Kenosha Kid) and Jim White wrote for
a Julliard Drama School performance based on the
works of Sam Shepherd.

In ‘Sounds Of The Americans’ stories abound,
rising and falling behind a rollercoaster musical
backdrop; a mad preacher speaks of interplanetary
mission fields, a lovelorn teen confides her deepest
fears to her diary, a proud son relays the tale of
how he lovingly refurbished his dad's derelict car,
a zombie choir chants a consumerist catechism, a
redneck entrepreneur recounts how his “nose got
shot off”.

“It's sort of a post-modern musical spaghetti
western,” Jim admits ruefully.

Will appeal to fans of Giant Sand, The Handsome
Family, Wilco.
