 
"One Endless Night"
Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Though often praised as a songwriter,
Jimmie Dale Gilmore mostly considers himself a "song lover."
Thus it should come as no surprise that 10 of the baker's dozen
songs on One Endless Night are covers. Nor should it surprise
anyone that Jimmie Dale Gilmore's distinctive plaintive twang
so effectively conveys his passion for these songs. On his first
record in nearly four years, Gilmore looks to his fellow contemplative
Texans to provide much of the material here: songs by Townes
Van Zandt, Walter Hyatt, and Willis Alan Ramsey join a pair from
fellow Flatlander Butch Hancock. Add to that songs by "outsiders"
like John Hiatt, Jesse Winchester, the Grateful Dead , and even
Kurt Weill , and you get a sense of who Gilmore is as an artist:
entrenched in country music, he also has an open and curious
mind, a wandering spirit, and an affection for timeless melodies.
