This man’s voice puts him in a list of my favorite singers…. He also has the look to back up the deep lyrics. Squinted eyes… rigid jaw… hair… I’m not in love, you’re in love!
Maggie5846, The TVZ connection is the deal. Thanks for your comment. I have always thought Townes and Jimmy Dale were kindred souls. Aw, man. So daggum beautiful
it's the voice so good so unusual in the nicest possible way - like a lot of singers he is so much better live so much freer - and thank you whoever for posting who ever you are, more power to you.
I'm not sure I had heard him before a few days ago. So glad I discovered him by coincidence watching the short film "The Accountant". It opens with his version of "Mack the Knife", and I was blown away. I watched the film because someone had commented that's where they discovered Michael Hurley (one of my favorite musicians), with his awesome song "I Paint a Design" closing the film. Serendipity at it's finest.
the only thing that would make this better is if he had his shirt off, on a painted pony riding along the llano estacado uplift ... with a feathered spear screaming in the emptiness of the gross phenomena of possibilities ...
Hi, Vern Bodnar, I never really though of the similarity to Lonnie Donegan before you mentioned it. As you say, there certainly is a great similarity and I speak as someone of an old age who attended Lonnie Donegan live concerts in Newcastle upon Tyne in the 1950's. I am just listening again to many, many recordings of Lonnie that I have and I suspect the similarity is mainly because they both sing "very nasal" maybe??? Maybe it is a Texas thing, eh?, which Lonnie copied? Do you remember when Waylon Jennings once asked, "Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?" Anyhoo - I am very, very glad to read your comment, for I am now going to have a very good revisitation to Mr. Donegan's repertoire. Thanks for your post!
Bassists and drummers don't get no respect. But those gitar players are good. Singer songwriter ain't half bad either. I bet he could get into that group...what's their name?...Oh, yeah, The Flatlanders !

Amazingly beautiful. Thank you.
Just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. JDG's amazing pure voice.
What a great songwriter, my brother Jimmy Dale Gilmore, I love your soul. You write my soul and sing it so beautifully. Love and Blessings, Thank You!
I come to him, and this video, via my Townes VZ research. Townes loved him and his music. I am definitely going to listen to more.

That's Mary Cutrufello playing Rhythm guitar... Her career was derailed so early.

Thankyou, Austin History Centre, for putting in loud, inappropriate adverts in the middle of a song... Great gig, though...

Jimmies voice is similaire to Lonnie Donegans in some songs. Both awesome entertainers
