Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Come On Back *

Artist:

Gilmore, Jimmie Dale

Description:

Though Jimmie Dale Gilmore has been a major force in progressive country ever since his work with the Flatlanders in the 1970s, he`d never have been as convincing a neo-country crooner if he didn`t have strong roots. COME ON BACK is the sound of Gilmore fully exploring those roots. While his previous solo albums were full of new material written by Gilmore himself or by Flatlander pal Butch Hancock, this one finds the Texan troubadour singing stone country classics from the golden age of honky-tonk.
Gilmore stretches his tremulous, high lonesome warble across Ray Price-style shuffles ("Pick Me Up on Your Way Down"), Hank Williams plaints ("I`ll Never Get Out of this World Alive"), hardcore Ernest Tubb honky-tonk ("Walking the Floor Over You"), and buoyant Hank Snow boogie ("I`m Movin` On"). Old-school country fans will be intimately familiar with many of these songs, but Gilmore`s faint air of otherworldliness adds a new shading to these evergreen tunes.
