The long-awaited follow-up to BRAVER NEWER WORLD stands in sharp contrast to that album`s heavy-duty pop production. ONE ENDLESS NIGHT finds Gilmore returning to the simple, earthy country sound of his `80s Hightone releases, and with fine results. Fans of Gilmore`s "cosmic cowboy" brand of songwriting might be disappointed that he penned only two songs, but the others he`s chosen are of uniformly high quality, and they all receive that inimitable Gilmore touch. Fellow Flatlander Butch Hancock contributes a pair of gems, and Gilmore pays tribute to another fellow Texan, Townes Van Zandt, with a sprightly take on the latter`s devotional ode "No Lonesome Tune."
Gilmore`s ghostly warble sounds right at home delivering the otherworldly lyrics and country/folk melody of the Grateful Dead`s classic "Ripple." Going further afield, Gilmore turns "Mack the Knife" into a bluesy desert ballad of death and wrongdoing. Buddy Miller`s production keeps things appropriately uncluttered, adding just the right touch of twang and giving the phenomenon that is Jimmie Dale Gilmore`s voice plenty of room to seep into the listener`s soul.
