A thought provoking road trip through the American South - a world of churches; prisons; coalmines;truckstops; juke joints; swamps; and mountains.
SEARCHING FOR THE WRONG-EYED JESUS is an entertaining and thought-provoking road trip with pensive ‘Alt Country’ singer Jim - along with present-day musical mavericks including the Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, 16 Horsepower and David Johansen. He takes us through the very real contemporary American South, a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truckstops, biker bars and coalmines, as he tries to pin down what it is about this baffling place that inspires so many musicians and writers or, as he puts it, ‘trying to find the gold tooth in God’s crooked smile’.
