5.0 out of 5 stars I'm sorry, but how has this not been discovered yet?, October 24, 2005

Think Dylan slide guitar with a steady slow blues style and a spectacular vocal harmony keeping the groove. When I search for new music, I preview the 7th song, and I was blown away by Bound to Forget.

Listening to the rest of the album, I'd call it melodic harmonic southern blues drive mix rock, were that a genre.

I can't believe this hasn't been reviewed yet. Great music.

Jim White's first album "Wrong Eyed Jesus" was by far one of the best releases of the last decade. Fresh, original, haunting...it was an unexpected album from an unexpected artist. So, I've waited four years(!) for something new from Mr. White, and here it is. "No Such Place" has already leapfrogged ahead of WEJ on my favorites list and deservedly so. Taking his influence from many trance and groove artists and producers, Jim has crafted a truly amazing record that sounds like the future of music made from a recipe of traditional Americana and roots music of the past. More haunting and original than ever, this is an absolute stunner. I've had the pleasure of meeting Jim and seeing him live a few times, even interviewing him, and all I can say is "Thank _____ for Jim White," an artist who restores my faith in music in this dull musical landscape.

I bought this album about 4 years ago.

I STILL listen to it on a regular basis.

It quickly became one of my favorite CDs.

Now Jim White's documentary, SEARCHING FOR THE WRONG EYED JESUS, has become one of my favorite movies.

It is difficult to catagorize the "type" of music this cd offers, but I think the first sentence in Amazon's editorial review does a good job of summing it all up:

"If Jim Carroll, Barry Gifford, and David Lynch all decided to put on a show called Lost Highway: The Musical, or if Lou Reed and Neil Young were to score Sling Blade II, they might come up with something that sounds like No Such Place."

If you like trippy music with profound lyrics that make you think, this cd is for you.

High quality production values set in the studio make this superb ear candy for the stoners out there looking for comraderie in a lonely world of self centered angst and bleary eyed, intellectual ennui.

And check out the movie, too.
