No Such Place

This singer-guitarist writes songs that have the lost, lonely feeling of the last drunk left in a dive bar at closing time. White is a country singer, but not necessarily from any country on this planet: several of the songs on this album were produced by members of the trip-hop band Morcheeba, and draw-ing from that group's spirit, the tracks beep and buzz and whir like ufos zipping across a prairie sky. There are a couple of meandering stretches where the disparate elements don't quite come together, but any CD that features titles like Handcuffed to a Fence in Mississippi and God Was Drunk When He Made Me can be forgiven a few dull spots.
