Information
“Skinny Girls Are Trouble”, which was recorded over two weeks at Johannesburg’s SABC M5 studio in March 2009, with additional recording in New York City and Copenhagen, is the result of a rare and stellar combination of Jim’s songwriting skills and the production wizardry of New York-based guitar legend Richard Lloyd, who rose to fame as guitarist for the influential and pioneering punk/new wave band Television in the 1970s.
Musicians featured on the album include Loandi Boersma (Cortina Whiplash, Rokkeloos) on bass guitar and backing vocals, Kevin O’Grady (Famous Curtain Trick, The He-Shes) on drums and also author, journalist and songwriter Rian Malan, Lani Pieters, Laurie Levine, Timon Wapenaar, Riku Lätti and “guitar guru” Richard Llloyd, who contributed guitar and harmonium. “Skinny Girls Are Trouble” was engineered, mixed and mastered by Peter Pearlson.
Richard Lloyd says of the Skinny Girls sessions: “Working as the producer on Jim Neversink’s latest record has been one of the great joys and profound experiences of my life. I feel as if I stepped into a miracle – not only working with the band and the engineer, but being able to help Jim realise his dreams – songs that are so profound that reality resists the realisation of their truth in every possible way.”
Both Jim Neversink’s previous albums – Jim Neversink (2005) and “Shakey is Good” (2008) – have been celebrated by critics and by his growing legion of local and international fans.
