 Hank Williams survives because... Feb 28, 2008
The first note one hears is the ache. The heartbreaking yearning that says this is truth with wistfullness and a understanding that those who ever listened to a lonesome dove, who were ever in love, who sat by the radio, and who hoped that better days were coming next but knowing that they were probably not.
Jimmie Dale Gilmore has the same pure country Hank Williams voice that evokes a history of American music. He sings like Larry McMurtry writes.
"Tonight I Think I'm Going to Go Downtown", a signature song, is all one needs to hear. Jimmie Dale sings it like he means it. The lost of a woman, the wanderlust, the bright lights of neon that blinks beckons forlonely.
The rest of the songs on the CD continue to follow the trail of being blessed, being bereft, being besotton, being bedded, and becoming the man who beloves, ultimately belives.
A modern classic CD by one of the great traditionist singers of Americana

 Not his best album Jul 16, 2007
No one could like Jimmie Dale Gilmore more than I do, but this is not his best album.
I loved "These Blues", including touch of Jimmie Rodgers at the end. "Blue Moon Waltz" is nice. "Story of You" is O.K. Other than that this is probably Jimmie's weakest album, in my opinion.
 a country classic. Apr 05, 2007
i had a dream last night. i dreamed that i lived in a world where toby keith, vince gill and garth brooks were anonymous individuals, perhaps working in construction, and that the most lauded and famous country music stars were fellas named "billy joe shaver," "buddy miller," and "jimmie dale gilmore." what a great dream. and when i awoke i was sad, because i remembered how the world really was. i just wanted to go back to sleep and dream some more.

A voice between Roy Orbison and Hank Dec 15, 2004
Several years ago my brother sent me this cd and at first I must admit I didn't get it. Gilmore's voice threw me but every once in a while I picked it up again and gradually (as Jimmie sings- sometimes we're a little slow in catchin on) the beauty of these songs just sank in and Gilmore's voice began to sound perfectly suited to them to my ears. Now years later I listen to this now and then and consider it one of my favorite country records. My brother passed on a few years ago and everytime I listen to Jimmie Dale Gilmore I think of him and thank him for introducing me to this great music.

This one is a Classic Jun 24, 2004
I keep this CD in constant rotation and it never grows old. Its hard to pick a highlight when all the songs are so delightful, from "Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown" all the way through "Story of You." As a singer and songwriter, Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a Texas treasure, and he really shines on this CD. Stephen Bruton's production is clean and tasty, and James Pennebaker's fiddle is magical. Get it, play it, love it, and buy copies for all your friends.
