Review by Hayley Avron

The guy that was searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus is no longer with us, though his soul remains.»

jim white releases his fifth full-length album. 'where it hits you' chronicles jim white's journey through life's challenges, heartbreak, and ultimately transcendence. 'where it hits you' is as rich and diverse a record as jim has ever produced. from the brooding dreamlike opener, 'chase the dark away,' to the wild eyed stomp of 'here we go,' to the beefheartesque 'infinite mind,' to the harvest-era neil young ringer 'my brother's keeper,' 'where it hits you' finds jim in full musical stride, effortlessly blending genres and approaches in ways that sometimes boggle the mind. but as white's work has shown over the arc of his career, despite the experimental extremes he recklessly embraces, there's always a cohesive, singular identity that holds the divergent influences together.
