Free Music Notes for Cimarron Manifesto
Free Music Review: No one can sing about loss as well as Jimmy
Hit: 5 Stars
A little while ago I saw a recent video of Donovan singing "Catch the Wind." He sang it just as he did 40 years ago, and coming from someone who looks like an aging leprechaun it was more than a little creepy. That's why Jimmy LaFave's version--with its sense of grownup loss and longing and regret (not to mention the dobro in the background)--struck me so powerfully. Just like his version of "Walk Away Ren?e," I now can't imagine it being sung any other way.
I've played this album a lot since I got it, and I love it. His songwriting is getting better and better (when he sings about his daughter in "Lucky Man," he doesn't say "what a lucky man I am," but "what a lucky man I must be," as though he can't quite believe his good fortune). The back-up vocals are a pleasant surprise.
Free Music Review: Jimmy reaches out and grabs you
Hit: 4 Stars
The first I heard of Jimmy LaFave was his cover of 'Walk Away Renee' on 'Austin Skyline' a good few years ago. It jumped out of the radio and grabbed me by the throat. I was lucky enough to see him live here in Auckland as the opening act for Lucinda Williams ... what a concert that was. His cover of 'Catch the Wind' on this will reach out and grab people all over again. Free Music Review: New LaFave cd grows on Cheyenne Chick

I have all of Jimmy's albums; try to go to all the live shows I can. This latest work projects a different twist/side to his personality. I love the passion of his other albums and his ability to touch your heart with his words and his voice. All of his albums are excellent. The new album to me has an ever so slight country slant to it but it is good although it took me a few listens to appreciate the added female vocals. As of yet, it is not my most favorite but I will definitely "wear it out" over time. The photography on the cover is phenomenal--good job Brian. I would have liked to had the words to the songs included as with all the other albums. Free Music Review: As good as ever

Jimmy is my favorite artist. I guess that Texoma is still my favorite, but this CD is right there. Like other reviewers, I remain amazed at how great a writer, singer and guitarist he is...and only a few folk outside of Texas and New England know his work. Buy this and you will want everything else he has ever done!Free Music Review: Revival!

Let the others have their radio hits, Jimmy's the man when it comes to true American music. This is another nice piece of work. Musically, it is very "full" sounding and the harmonies (with the ladies) are just terrific. A great group of musicians here (Andrew Hardin is always a plus). "Lucky Man" really hits home. A great song. Dont miss out seeing him live!
