White,Jim Sounds Of The Americans CD

2011 release from singer/songwriter Jim White, a collaboration with Dan Nettles. Featuring 16 wildly eclectic songs from the score 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 roller coaster 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".
