I've never seen or heard of Jim James doing anything with any female musicians. There's a lot of great female musicians out there, but I've never seen him work with any. I've always wondered how it would sound with his amazing falsetto with the voice of a woman.


...besides Erykah Badu.

Check out his performance from the Rud last year.  He did about ten songs with Sarah Elizabeth Whitehead.  It was very Gram Parsons/ Emmylou Harris-esque.

Other than that, he sang backup on a Kathleen Edwards song though you can hardly hear him.  There's a picture of him singing with Zoey Deschanel(sp?) from She and Him in this month's Paste magazine from the Newport Folk Fest this year.

I'd love to see him onstage with Grace Potter...she's a big fan, she interviewed them and has been seen at a few shows just as a fan..and she rocks.

He had 3 female back up singers on Conan for Touch me Pt 2

Yea, Kathleen Edwards actually came out and sang on Golden with him at Bogart's in Cincinnati a few years back. It was a blast.

I always hoped he would do something with Gillian Welch.  I know they did a cover together a couple years ago but i can't remember what it was.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Ahh yes, the greek show with bright eyes.

I totally forgot about bonnaroo 2006.

How about JJ, Neko Case, and Kelly Hogan singing back up for M Ward?

easy way

I've always entertained the idea of Jim pairing up with Ani Difranco. Now that would change the world...mine anyway.  ;)

One of them was Nicole Atkins. She's lovely.

Found the Gillian Welch "All The Best" on youtube.  Wish I had good audio of this track.

Awww Trac, you beat me to it. I would love to see JJ work more with Neko......

QuoteAwww Trac, you beat me to it. I would love to see JJ work more with Neko......


I was gonna say the same. A duet would be cool. Maybe they should just make babies, those kids would have some pipes.
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

I don't know if the world is ready for that kind of awesomeness.

Come on now, he's not a dog, okay? You can't just breed him to make superior, music-making babies haha.

As was previously mentioned, Kathleen Edwards consistently joined the band onstage for "Golden" during the Z tour. I, too, was lucky enough to see this at Bogart's
