Jim David - Live from Jimville (CD)
Now out on Stand Up! Records, Jim David’s “Live from Jimville” is a chance for the casual listener to reconnect with his inner curmudgeon. When you begin to lament the youths and their inability to navigate a library with its books and papers and librarians and whanot, David’s got a riff on Beowulf that’ll have you ready for knee-slapping good times. Dismayed at Britney Spears, less for her outfits and more for her inability to carry a tune in a paper bag? Jim David’s your man. And still tickled pink by the droning pronouncements of a train announcer on the commuter line (not drowned out by your iPod, because you’ve never figured out them thingamijiggers)? Hop on, next stop’s Ronkonkoma! But just when you’ve been lulled into thinking you’re in store for a series of hilarious but accessible one-liners to share with friends and family, Jim David will take a sharp left turn and shock your knickers right off—it’s just one of the many joys of Jimville. With a slow, charming North Carolina
