Search - Jim White :: Wrong-Eyed Jesus

A album that's a genius work of art that requires time

"I just want to write something here as the editorial review on this site gives completely the wrong impression. It sounds to me like that reviewer didn't give the album enough chance, and that he judged it too hastily and perhaps snappily.One-Eyed Jesus is certainly not for everybody, but I consider it to be a bona fide masterpiece that requires an awful lot of time and effort to fully appreciate. The sound of the album is a very layered one, and it's only with a great many repeated plays that it truly reveals itself; at that point the music and poetic lyrics really do start to hook you. There's a mysticism about the whole thing somehow, and once you begin to understand the album's transcendent nature (particularly evident towards the end of the album) it repeatedly produces a smile, and makes the heart leap!"

"Hallucinatory, mystical, melodic, dissonant. Terror, beauty and tears. This is a jubilant, sometimes hopelessly quirky hymn to life and death. Has there ever been a more original country-folk-punk musician? I bought it by accident, and then felt like I'd (fortunately) been let in to a whole blessed world. Sweet stuff."
