Critical Praise for "One Endless Night"
"The poet laureate of the Buddhist cowboys rides again
with a quiet, modest gem that reaches a Lone Star state
of Satori."
- Rolling Stone
"(One Endless Night) is drenched in the melancholy wonder
of the perpetual outsider...The West Texas legend brings a strange
beauty to everything he sings...affirms Gilmore as one of the
finest interpretive singers of our time."
- Chicago Tribune
"(Jimmie Dale) Gilmore...makes music untouched by trends
and suspended in time."
- Entertainment Weekly
"Gilmore's rich, haunting voice, with its reedy echoes
of Willie Nelson, has a timeless, almost disembodied cast that
makes it a perfect instrument for addressing questions
of eternity without sounding pompous."
- Los Angeles Times
"Once the telepathy of his impossibly angled yet seamlessly
sweet twang . . . begins its eerie oscillative snake through
your cortises, it can take on the power of a hypnotic suggestion."
- Esquire
"(Gilmore) speaks the language of the wandering troubadour
as he travels the changing landscapes of the heart and mind.
Whether performing his own material or songs written by others,
(Jimmie Dale) transform(s) them, tapping into timeless sorrow
and discovery."
- The Hollywood Reporter
"Jimmie Dale Gilmore's voice could startle you right
out of your chair: It's a long, high, mournful sound that
seems to have grown out of the earth, as stately as a lonesome
pine."
- Mirabella
"Jimmie Dale Gilmore is as
much a mystic as a musician...Gilmore has always been a seeker...comes
across not as a guy with all the answers but as a man
who is continually asking questions."
- New Age Journal
"Jimmie Dale's not just cool or hip--the kind of guy
BoHos can dig without being called backwards ass by their
pals--but a truly masterful songwriter and storyteller and
interpreter, an artist who encapsulates the history of Texas
music with a voice that's as eerie as it is romantic."
- Dallas Observer
"Gilmore is to Texas what Aaron Neville is to New Orleans--an
exquisite. . . prize."
- GQ
"Although Gilmore's sound draws heavily from mountain and
western music, his cerebral lyrics and shimmering melodies are
never enslaved by formula. Wrapping his Orbisonesque voice around
ethereal images of hope and loss, Gilmore straddles the
line between . . . hipster and cosmic cowboy."
- Interview
"Once in a blue moon, a great voice comes along in popular
music, a voice with the kind of resonance and feeling that pricks
up ears, turns heads, and convinces a cynic that maybe a human
being really can sing like a nightingale."
- Texas Monthly
"Jimmie Dale Gilmore stands
alone on the margins of contemporary music. And he has no
intention of coming Back."
- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Jimmie Dale Gilmore, tall
and lanky, armed with nothing more than an acoustic guitar,
doesn't simply sing songs; he possesses them."
- Men's Journal
"In a world of sound alike performers, Jimmie Dale Gilmore
is still perched on his own lovely little branch of American
music."
- The Fort Worth Star Telegram
"His swooping voice and simple, stirring songs sparkle
with echoes of a bygone era."
- Guitar Player
