First time I saw and heard Jimmy and his band, was at a Wine Festival New Braunfels Texas. His new record that summer was Cimarron Manifesto~ I could feel the music, and the sound was "WOW" I very seldom miss them, If they are playing within a 100 miles I will make the trip..I have a great collection of his records. I saw the Ribbon of Highway Endless Skyway, in Austin bought the record and play it all the time. What a great tribute to Woody, and what a great job putting it together. Jimmy has so much talent, how fortunate we are to have this great Singer and Song Writer and Musician here in Austin. I never tire of listening to him and his band. Along with Unique sound of his voice, "he can play that guitar, he gets in his own little world, and what an "AWESOME" world it is.. Thanks Jimmy!!

First i would like to say i grew up listening to country and texas country music with a litle alternative rock. Although i've always been open minded to any style of music. I first heard Jimmy Lafave about 4 months ago and immediately fell in love with hi music. The feeling it puts inside of you is unlike any other stlye of music. When listening to his music you can not help but feel overwhelmed by joy. After getting into his music i can now way that i am a folk music fan and supporter. I encourage anyone who has a love for music of any kind to sit down and listen to his work, i promise you will not be diappointed. I look forward to any forward releases.

I first listened to Jimmy in 1994 when Bohemian Beat released Highway Trance. I didn't think any release would ever top it, but Jimmy has become better with every release. No one can take a balled and put as much feeling into it as Jimmy can. I have been a long time Dylan fan, but Jimmy does Dylan better than Dylan. Just listen to his version of "Not Dark Yet" on Cimmeron Manifesto and you to will be transformed into a die-hard Jimmy fan. I'm lucky enough to have discoved Jimmy early on, because here in the Northwest we aren't priviledged enough to hear the real soul of music. If you're looking for the real deal don't you dare miss Jimmy LaFave, if you do you will be missing an important part of real American Music. I truly believe that Jimmy has to be discovered by the masses, he is to important of an artist and writer to be ignored.
