* Dirty Three: Deep Water (25.0 mb)
From Live On Studio 22 : Sept 23, 1999 : Melbourne, Australia

Since I posted the collaboration between Nina Nastasia and Jim White earlier, I thought it was only fitting that I posted some songs by Jim White’s main band, Dirty Three. Hailing from Australia, this trio consisting of the aforementioned Jim White on drums, Mick Turner on guitar and Warren Ellis on violin might seem like a recipe for some unforgettable Muzak, but that could only be farther from the truth. It’s hard to place a finger on what exactly draws me to their music. The three are incredible musicians, with the guitar and violin really doing their part to be the “voices” of the band and the drums driving everything forward.
