Jim White (drummer)
Cat Power is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her landmark album, The Greatest, with a new Redux EP, out January 23, 2026. Recorded with her Dirty Delta Blues band, the EP features a newly finished James Brown cover, “Try Me.” A special anniversary tour, performing The Greatest in its entirety, will reach the UK and Ireland in November 2026, including a show at London’s Roundhouse and Dublin’s Vicar Street
On Inner Day, Jim White expands on his percussive solo debut, creating a fuller, more detailed document. Keyboards, guitar, and even White’s own playful, semi-spoken vocals come to the front. It’s an impressive balancing act —a “clever, controlled use of tension” — between intricate drums and uncanny melodies. While White navigates wonder and trepidation in a mightily refreshing way, you still get the feeling that this is just the start.
Jim White has released his new single “I Don’t Do / Grand Central.” The track, a spirited vocal exchange with Zoh Amba, is one of two songs on his new album where White sings for the first time. The music video, edited by Eve Sussman, follows the pair on a journey straight to the Oyster Bar of Grand Central Station, where the two commune and parry in delightful form.
Master percussionist Jim White is set to release his second solo album, Inner Day, on October 24th. This time, he’s exploring new territory as a lyricist and vocalist for the very first time. The album finds White creating a hypnotic relationship between keyboards and drums, a process he began on his 2024 solo debut, All Hits: Memories. The title track, featuring the first lyrics he’s ever written, is out now.
