 Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Biography - AOL Music
When Gilmore was in grade school the family moved to Lubbock, a Panhandle town known for being the starting point for a surprising number of musicians (including Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings, Terry Allen, and Gilmore's onetime singing partners Butch Hancock and Joe Ely).
Later, another casual friend of Gilmore's, Ely, turned him on to the music of Townes Van Zandt, which Gilmore says was a revelation for the way Van Zandt integrated the worlds of folk and country music.
Gilmore was soon signed to Elektra, which released After Awhile in 1991 as part of the label's American Explorer series.

 Salon: Jimmie Dale Gilmore
I saw Jimmie Dale Gilmore, the most poetic and lovely country singer in America, he was playing on a little wooden stage hammered up on the perimeter of the walkway to the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
Just around the corner from Gilmore, 8,000 people were listening to Confederate Railroad, an indistinguishable group of guys in tight jeans with long shag haircuts, singing their current hit, "Simple Man," a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
Gilmore's voice, an eerie, plaintive, lyrical warble, can turn a single prosaic line like, "Have you ever seen Dallas from a DC-9 at night?" into a celebration of the city's splendors and a lament for its discontents.

 Rolling Stone : Jimmie Dale Gilmore: Spinning Around The Sun : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Jimmie Dale Gilmore's 1991 album After Awhile was quite literally the work of a lifetime, collecting songs written over a span of 20 years by a reedy-voiced Texan equally influenced by the sounds of country, folk and early rock & roll.
Gilmore is not a prolific writer, so the initial challenge of his new album was finding songs that matched the adventurousness of his own compositions.
Gilmore doesn't define his lover – it could just as well be a spiritual figure as a romantic partner – and the steel guitar that emits a lonesome sigh at the end of "Thinking About You" is likely to leave listeners lost in their own private thoughts and memories.

 Concerted Efforts - Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Gilmore always said he was a devotee of folk music, but his definition of "folk" was breathtakingly elastic.
Gilmore sparred with some personal demons during the Eighties, and he waged a parallel struggle to reconcile what he created as an artist with what moved him as a fan.
At last, Gilmore was making the music he heard in his head, a stylistically malleable synthesis of country, blues and rock that would gladden the heart of Jimmie Rodgers and Jack Kerouac alike.

 TrouserPress.com :: Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Gilmore's tremulous tenor duels a musical saw for space at the top of the mix, and the whole affair has an eerie, otherworldly vibe that sends chills.
Gilmore treats the American songbook as a continuum, blurring the boundaries between country, blues, soul and rock'n'roll with the effortlessness of some of the 1950s pioneers: Presley, Cash, Lewis.
Gilmore is no match for the early Elvis — his cover of "I Was the One" is the sole disappointment — but his dirge-tempo version of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" does the master justice.

 Washburn Artists: Jimmie Dale Gilmore
While it wouldn't be a Gilmore album without a couple of revelatory surprises, neither the Grateful Dead's "Ripple" nor the Brecht - Weill classic "Mack the Knife" sounds like much of a stretch once one hears how easily the singer adapts those songs to his pure, plaintive style.
For such a pivotal project, Gilmore teamed with Buddy Miller, Nashville producer and guitarist extraordinaire, whose work with Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle (as well as his own albums and those of wife Julie) had established him as a kindred spirit.
After four years of taking stock, Gilmore has re-emerged with the most effective synthesis to date of his traditional and visionary influences, on an album that both brings him full circle and opens new vistas.

 Jelly review: Jimmie Dale Gilmore
The sweet, pure, intensely personal, wide-opened honest Jimmie Dale Gilmore–the man from Texas who sings a song like no other with a voice that would make Hank Williams weep, has traveled off to a Braver Newer World and sent this, his first letter home.
If you’ve been a Jimmie Dale devotee, you might be confused or even put off by his newest (and to some of us, too long awaited) release.
Probably the two most challenging cuts for old-time Gilmore listeners are the first, "Braver Newer World," and "Headed for a Fall"–the first written alone by Gilmore, and the second a Gilmore, Hammond and Welch collaboration.

Jimmie Dale Gilmore's self-titled sophomore effort boasted a less aggressive sound than his Joe Ely-produced debut, and that suited Gilmore's wavering tenor and impressionistic lyrical style just fine, though the album also sounds like an attempt to blend a traditional country approach with Gilmore's rather individualistic style.
Sometimes, however, the spunky tempo and precise accompaniment of the music seem to be working against the grain of Gilmore's often world-weary songs, though Jimmie Dale himself accompanies these arrangements with grace and confidence.
Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a fine album and a step up from Fair and Square, but in retrospect it sounds most like a stepping stone on the way to his definitive recording, After Awhile.

 Music: Home Grown (The Boston Phoenix . 03-13-00)
The name Jimmie Dale Gilmore evokes languid Western rhythms, and a voice that's as lonesome as the plains around his native Lubbock, Texas.
Indeed, though Gilmore's sixth solo album, One Endless Night (Rounder), has the vibe of a bordertown roadhouse jam and the warmth of analog sound, the entire album was recorded direct to Macintosh computer.
Gilmore chose a number of songs by great, underappreciated writers who have influenced him over the years, including Townes Van Zandt, Willis Alan Ramsey, Walter Hyatt, Butch Hancock (with whom Gilmore is currently on the road, along with Ely, doing a Flatlanders tour), and John Hiatt.

If anything, the clarity of modern recording technology paints voices like Gilmore's in a light that may be less fitting than the old, dynamically compressed equipment.
Come On Back, a collection of canonical country covers ranging from namesake Jimmie Rodgers up to Lefty Frizzell and Ernest Tubb, finds Gilmore resting his case as one of the few modern artists who can comfortably inhabit the great tunes of the masters.
It's sad, in a way, that Jimmie's personal muse is elusive; he has only a couple of hands full of original tunes to his credit, but they are almost all sparkling.

 One Endless Night by Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Reviewed by Tom Dooley - Eclectica Magazine v4n2
Jimmie Dale Gilmore and his co-producer Buddy Miller made a lot of classy decisions in crafting One Endless Night, which comes remarkably close to being a perfect "album," as opposed to what I think lesser musicians and producers tend to create: a cd with a dozen or so songs on it.
Gilmore teamed up with the underappreciated Hal Ketchum to write "Blue Shadows," and with David Hammond for "One Endless Night." The latter, of course, lends its name to the whole collection, and Emmylou Harris's uncredited backing vocals lend even more class to the proceedings.
Not to say anything bad about Willie, but Jimmie Dale Gilmore, with this album, has impressed me with a particular artistic sensibility and sensitivity that seems wholly his own.

For his second solo record, Jimmie Dale Gilmore brought steel guitarist, coproducer, and fellow Texan Lloyd Maines with him to Nashville in 1989, resulting in an album that fuses Gilmore's dreamy "cosmic cowboy" progressivism with good, old-fashioned honky-tonk (both heavy-grinding Nashville style and nimbly swinging Texas style) and a tinge of rockabilly.
Gilmore revisits his own Flatlanders contribution "Dallas" and adds two other originals, two songs from buddy Butch Hancock, and two he cowrote with Hancock.
