The third installment in James Jackson “Wooden Wand” Toth’s Archives Project (the first being the “Hard Knox” CD, and the second being the 100+ songs that were given to pledgers on his Kickstarter campaign) is a great insight into all facets and phases of his 15+ year songwriting career. Some of these tracks were recorded when James was 15, some were recorded only weeks ago. And, believe it or not, despite the fact that over 200 unreleased songs have been unearthed so far in the Archives series, there are still hundreds that remain unreleased. And, unlike the archives of some other “prolific” songwriters, most of this stuff, is top notch, and all of it is complete songs. There are no 42 second aborted song snippets to sort through. I was given about 400 songs from which to choose the 75 tunes that wound up in this series. And despite having to listen to 400 songs multiple times, and having to sequence the chosen ones, listen to them over and over again, etc, they all still sound great to me. Each album, while often drawing from many different periods of songwriting, has been curated by PIAPTK to be loosely based around “themes” that tend to pop up in the Toth emotional and stylistic repertoire.

This listing is for:

Disc Five: Preparing An Audience - Much like Tom Waits, Wand often writes tunes from the perspective of a character. Whereas Waits’ protagonist is a down-on-his-luck, hard living, skid row bum, Toth’s is more of a self-loathing, hard living, smarmy Southern jerk. This disc compiles some of the best tunes from that perspective.
