Jimmie Dale Gilmore, born in Tulia, Texas, is a prominent Texas singer/songwriter known for his warm tenor voice and folk-country style. Emerging from Lubbock's 1970s music scene, he co-founded the Flatlanders with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock, influencing outlaw and alt-country. Notable songs include "Dallas" and "Treat Me Like a Saturday Night." Gilmore's solo debut came in 1988, earning acclaim for works like 1991's "After Awhile." He often collaborated with Dave Alvin, releasing albums such as "Downey to Lubbock." His laid-back Austin vibe echoes the town's rich musical roots.
