Jim White's 2012 alt-country album, "Where It Hits You", is perfectly wonderful. The instrumentation and backing vocals are varied and carefully blended and his singing is sweet, natural and good-natured. Listening to this intelligent and imaginative music is like having a beautiful dream.

Jim White's Best!
21 Feb 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is without a doubt one of the most haunting and beautiful albums I have ever heard in my life. Like all of Jim albums, they are a ride of emotions both happy and sad. The theme of this album is about lost and healing, which makes a lot of sense when you hear it given that Jim changed record companies, ran out of money to finish the album, separated from his wife and started on the road back to happiness. All of those feeling are in this amazing album. It is really one of Jim White's best albums ever. In a world dominated by Lady Gaga, it's really nice to know that true musical art can still surface. A full five star for this incredible piece of work. Thank you Jim and keep going, you're the best.

Too little known, Jim White is a rare talent
15 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jim White continues to turn out recordings of great singularity and rare quality. This is no exception.
I love the way he colours the music, unafraid to mix genres, sounds, textures and tones to create songs that have no parallels anywhere else. Three songs here, grouped toward the end of the CD, form a kind of tonal trilogy, deeply reflective and moving. These are My Brother's Keeper, That Wintered Blue Sky and Epilogue to a Marriage. They're great songs individually and grouped together their effect is breathtaking.
I have no interest in which of Jim's recordings may be thought his "best" as every one of them (and I have them all) is a keeper. When it's this good, such distinctions are superfluous.
My only request (should you ever read this, Jim!) is that he'll leave behind him the lyrical obsession with Jesus. Granted, so far I've heard the name only once in this CD, but I dream of the day when Jim will make a recording that has no need to revisit this theme.
Meanwhile, for those who don't know Jim White this is as good a place to start as any. You WILL buy another one once you've heard him and it really doesn't matter which, as they're all fully worthy of your time. You'll be rewarded in ways you can't imagine yet.
