5.0 out of 5 stars A voice between Roy Orbison and Hank, December 15, 2004

Several years ago my brother sent me this cd and at first I must admit I didn't get it. Gilmore's voice threw me but every once in a while I picked it up again and gradually (as Jimmie sings- sometimes we're a little slow in catchin on) the beauty of these songs just sank in and Gilmore's voice began to sound perfectly suited to them to my ears. Now years later I listen to this now and then and consider it one of my favorite country records. My brother passed on a few years ago and everytime I listen to Jimmie Dale Gilmore I think of him and thank him for introducing me to this great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my most cherished albumns, June 20, 2002

It's a crime that Jimmie Dale Gilmore isn't as well known as a country singer. This albumn is one of the best crafted and beautiful country albumns of the last twenty years as far as I'm concerned. From "Tonight I think I'm gonna go downtown" to the "Story of You" there isn't a clunker among them.

Gilmore voice is hauntingly beautiful and his songwriting is second to none. Perhaps no Texas singer/songwriter except Townes Van Zandt can match Gilmore's talents. This is great country music and great music period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Great, June 27, 2002

This one would get 5 stars just for the track "Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown". A deceptively simple song that will haunt you once you've heard it. The rest of the recording does not dissapoint after this stellar lead track. Gilmore's unique voice and spare songwriting style make for a satisfying listen. Anyone who has an interest in Alt.Country or any other musical style that drifts outside the commercial margins would be well advised to check out anything by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.
