some random person gave me a Jim White CD about 10 years ago while I was leaving a ferstival. THANK GOD! Jim yer the best. Thanks man!

Jim White is an American folk/country music genius that more folks need to hear.

He's the type of artist that doesn't get recognized until it's too late. The man is an absolute genius and an incredible story teller

after 15 years still a beautiful song, a beautiful text, a beautiful voice and a beautiful location. Looking forward to see Jim White in Utrecht in January 2025.

He wrote this when he was struggling with Depression. It's about tackling the demons in your life instead of running away from them.

Jim White is the hope that reminds you that despite the moments of despair it might be a good idea to carry on breathing.

I booked Jim White sometime in the late "90s and will never forget his performance. Like I had booked a Cowboy's ghost lost to the Prairie. Haunting, darkly riveting. One of my favorite bookings ever.

My friend Brian introduced me to this song over a decade ago when we were living rough in Gatlinburg, TN. Song still hits pretty hard...more so since Brian died. He developed a meth addiction back about 6-7 years ago, and two years ago this winter, he tried to steal a catalytic converter off of a van broken down on I-40 a few miles from the NC state line. The jack he was using failed, and the van fell on him. I had my problems, like he did (but with pills and alcohol), but as I sobered up, he got worse. Life's that way, I guess.

My heart goes out to you and to Brian's family. I've lost many in similarly grim contexts. The song is about running toward your fears, rather than away from them. No sense fleeing, as your shadow is always faster than your feet.

This is obviously great, thanks Jim. Don't ask why isn't this more popular, who cares, you found it and that's who it was made for. There are very few secrets in music these days with streaming. Townes was underground for most of his life, yet his music has and will continue to 'save' many of souls, mine included. If his music was on the top 40 the essence would be diluted, and sure it may have helped some other people who wouldn't have heard it otherwise but then it wouldn't have been there for the likes of you and I who know there is more to it than album sales. our culture is popularity based when in fact the more pop(popular) the music, the less quality there usually is. Think about it. Dig a little deeper, go through the substrate my friend.

@maclennan73 yes....seems to me it was UNCUT February 2001 (but don't quote me on the month/year, i had so many of them it's hard to remember them), Americana: Songs of the American West Vol 2.......The Wound That Never Heals and Static on the Radio were two other Jim White songs that the UNCUT magazine featured on their discs......the discs come free with the magazine and typically feature tracks form artists/groups that are new releases, but they also featured stuff from reissues, etc
