Big Inner

The debut album by Matthew E White is a moving, redemptive and powerfully soulful, a timeless record told in seven songs that mingle memory with the rawness of any given human moment. The references - from the lyrics that echo the common conditions of love, death, seeking, and finding, to open tributes to artists like Washington Phillips, Allen Toussaint, and Randy Newman - are their own scavenger hunt through music history and through white's place in it.
