The Great Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Here's a song written by Butch Hancock, but pretty much owned by Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The two were and are in the Flatlanders together (along with Joe Ely), a band that faded after a single album in the early seventies, only to have the respective members enjoy various degrees of individual success over the years before reforming about five or six years ago. I first heard this song on Jimmie Dale's solo album, Fair and Square, though this particular version is more recent than that. I hope you like it:
