My apologies for the
Sunday Music feature appearing on Monday afternoon! But that’s kind of how
things are this summer—& it is, as they say, “all good”.
We finish our look at the
music of Jimmie Dale Gilmore with a relatively recent performance of one of his
original Flatlanders songs. Gilmore also recorded a version for his 1991
Elektra release, After Awhile.
In the video I’ve included
with this post, Gilmore is joined by Butch Hancock, another of the original
Flatlanders, & their sons. For those who just want the song & not the
banter beforehand, skip ahead to 5:00 minutes into the video—but you’ll miss a
wonderful conversation between Gilmore & Hancock if you do.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this
look at Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s music, & that it’s inspired you to look more
deeply into his work & the recordings of the Flatlanders as well. We’ll
return with a new featured artist in August—& will make every effort to
post the Sunday Music features on Sunday.
