Jimmie Dale Gilmore is an American musician, songwriter, and member of the critically acclaimed country band The Flatlanders. Born on May 6, 1945, in Amarillo, Texas, Gilmore's roots in the Lone Star State's diverse music scene have been the bedrock of his sound, seamlessly blending country, folk, blues, and rock influences. His signature tenor voice and introspective songwriting have endeared him to a generation of listeners who appreciate authenticity and soul in their music.

Gilmore's career, which has spanned several decades since he first emerged in the early '70s with The Flatlanders, has been marked by a string of acclaimed solo releases. Albums like "Spinning Around the Sun" (1993) and "Braver Newer World" (1996) showcase his ability to evolve stylistically while maintaining his distinctive lyrical poise. His 1991's "After Awhile" is seen as a pivotal work in defining his solo artistry. Gilmore's collaborative spirit was once again on display in the 2018 album "Downey to Lubbock," recorded with Dave Alvin, reflecting his continuous journey through the heart of American music. Despite the ebb and flow of the music industry, Jimmie Dale Gilmore's work remains a beacon of truth and beauty in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
