Jimmie Dale Gilmore featured August 22-28
With Butch Hancock and Joe Ely, he was a member of the seminal 70s Texas band the Flatlanders. Since then, he's put out several solo CDs of country/folk featuring his high lonesome vocal and his Zen-like lyrics. On his newest, the just-released Come On Back, Gilmore covers classic country songs that his father, a guitar player himself, loved and played while Gilmore was growing up in Lubbock. The album is a tribute to his father, who died 5 years ago from ALS. More on the making of the album here.
