Bizarrely I first came across Wrongeyed Jesus at the Melbourne Comedy festival in a small pub in Fitzroy - to see a guy who had been really popular in the late 90s but drugs and mental health issues saw him disappear to Tasmania, he was tentatively making a come back and that first Jim White album was playing.
The room was upstairs with old lounge chairs scattered around. Only twenty or so people showed up and the music was otherworldly, there was a girl doing the sound and I asked here what it was - I'd never heard of Jimmy White before, but I had to get it, and I've now got all of them. I'm never sure what genre to call it - Psycho Country? I can see bits of Tom Waits in there too. Substrate is the most accessible for the non-believer.
I am racking my brain for the comedian's name - he was brilliant at his peak - I'm sure he performed under the influence and was just being himself - he was very tentative in this performance, understandably, and even with the crowd willing him on... EUREKA, I remember his name! Anthony Morgan!!! And I found a review of the show I saw:

Looks like he's still plugging away:
