Two hats, no uke

Jim White, the metaphysical singer-songwriter who counts David Byrne of Talking Heads among his biggest fans, is working on a new acoustic album and asked Sylvie to sing on it with him. Jim and Sylvie first sang together at the Poisson Rouge in New York and then last year at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. Sylvie - who has been a huge fan of White's work since his 1997 debut album The Mysterious Tale of How I Shouted Wrong-Eyed Jesus on Byrne's Luaka Bop label - is featured singing in songs Land Called Home, Plywood Superman and Walk A While with Me.
