But Mr. White is a restless, individual artist who is not content solely with traditional patterns. So he builds a instruments that you would not expect in this context (eg wind, Pan flute, melodica). In addition, parables him fall, which not are commonplace in this connection (Jim 3:16 A bar is a church where they serve beer). The songs differ in structure from the usual country scheme. They are so flexible that their orientation can change during the course. So Breaking Room starts as riffbetonter Country-Folk, then takes backing chants reminiscent of the Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter on and ends in New Orleans Brass Band Sound.
This example shows that Jim is very large is to let the expectations of the listener come to nothing. It nevertheless come out here but highly catchy songs that only superficially fit into roots music scheme. Jim White is a charlatan and exciting entertainers in a person and Take It Like A Man is a further proof of his unbroken creativity.
