Album Notes

update: I have a new record! It's called I Am The Man. I recorded it in Nashville with Marky Nevers (Will Oldham, Lambchop, Calexico, Lou Barlow, Tindersticks, Candi Staton). I play with a band (Tony Crow, William Tyler, Matt Swanson, Brian Kotzur, Paul Burch) on some songs, and just me and guitar on some. It was released June 4th, 2007 in the UK by Honest Jons/EMI. Unfortunately I can't sell it on cdbaby but you can find it here: www.honestjons.com

ps. on my new record I redid a few songs from my first record (cos I wanted a second chance for them to be perfect!) so you might think my first is my second or the other way around but it's not true! the songs I redid are: I didn't have any summer romance, mary jane and roses are not red (and if you're lucky to have a vinyl LP, soldier sailor)

and now this is about my first record The Sincere Recording Company Presents Simone White, which is for sale here on cdbaby:
I normally play solo but for this recording I got some great musicians together. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the band. Frank Bango (Frank Bango and the Magic Fingers) on piano, organ and guitar- he's an octopus! Jeremy Chatzky (Loser's Lounge, Laura Cantrell) on stand up bass. Mike Chylinski (Drugstore) on drums and on some other drums is Sim Cain (David Poe, John Zorn). And right there with some sparkles is Sean Eden (Luna) on guitar. It's a beautiful blossom, my friends. There's a Carole King and Gerry Goffin song about romance. There are 4 songs by Frank Bango and Richy Vesecky and all those songs are about love and longing. The rest are my songs which are about the little details of life and a soldier and a sailor, a showgirl, a train, the city and being so in love you have chollera.

It's a moody, dreamy record, mellow and slow, real slow. not too peppy. but very ethereal and haunting, sort of jazzy, low-folk, bluesy. the guys in england called it "chill-out music".
