Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Jimmie Dale Gilmore is an American music icon, a singer whose high-lonesome voice mirrors the desolate beauty of his native Texas panhandle, and a poetic interpreter of song. He first gained critical notice as a member of the Flatlanders, with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock.

But following the disbanding of The Flatlanders, Gilmore did not make another record for 16 years. He spent much of the `70s in a Denver ashram, while his songs, especially Dallas and Treat Me Like a Saturday Night, were establishing his reputation through Joe Ely's recordings. It wasn't until 1988 that Gilmore released his first solo album, the Ely-produced Fair & Square, his first attempt to merge his spiritual quest with a recording career.

The next decade saw the full flowering of this late, but glorious, bloomer. Three albums he recorded for Nonesuch/Elektra between 1991 and 1996 elicited global accolades - Rolling Stone named him Country Artist of the Year two years straight and he received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Artist.
