White Trees

White Trees
Sky Records, released June 22, 1993

Produced by Caleb Southern, White Trees is the Jets' second masterpiece, proof that Romweber can diversify without losing his frisky urgency. Sticking exclusively to originals, the boy spews out everything from boogie woogie ("Old Soul") to funky rock ("Daughter of the Jungle") to cornball country ("Husband of a Country Singing Star") to spooky mood pieces ("Rabbit Foot Blues"). Holy moly!
-- Jon Young/Ira Robbins, Trouser Press

The fourth album by North Carolina's Jets is a tarnished neo-rockabilly gem. Dexter Romweber's battered honk is the perfect voice to wrap around these twisted tales about Charlie Dick (Patsy Cline's hubby), UFOs, and dining with Van Gogh. It's as if the ''Eraserhead'' soundtrack were recorded at Sun Studios and sent to Weekly World News for editing.
