Order 'Waiting In Vain' and receive the MP3s immediately at checkout.
Also, order and receive an Insound exclusive bonus MP3, "Hallucination".
For his solo debut, Tennessee-based James Jackson Toth has conjured a mysterious, alluring world; Toth's scenarios are intriguingly tawdry and his sounds tantalizing, with layered, almost-dreamlike harmonies; touches of blues, country and soul and the occasional flash of punk swagger. He assumes the role of storyteller, maybe even confessor, spinning inter-linked tales of hope and misfortune, romantic trials and spiritual yearning.
Waiting In Vain is the first album that Toth, long a cult figure, has released as a solo artist, and it marks a new beginning for him. (For several years he experimented with a folk-psychedelic rock hybrid, putting out numerous discs under variations of the name Wooden Wand.)
