Netflix Movies Starring Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Country-folk singer/songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore is best known for his unusual fusion of traditional honky-tonk, Hank Williams-ish country stylings with lyrics influenced by Eastern mysticism and philosophy. Born and raised among country musicians in West Texas, Gilmore grew up in Lubbock, a small, dying cattle ranch community that, by chance, has produced some of Texas' most critically acclaimed musicians, including the great Buddy Holly, folk songstress Nanci Griffith, country superstar Waylon Jennings, and Gilmore's friends and collaborators, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. Part Cherokee, Gilmore's look and style have always been somewhat unusual for the honky-tonk milieu. Gilmore briefly attempted a music career after high school, forming the now-legendary Flatlanders with Hancock and Ely, but by 1974 his growing interest in spirituality led him to leave Texas behind - and music along with it - to join a Taoist community in Denver, Colorado.
