Jimmy LaFave "Cimarron Manifesto"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 44100 Stereo | 123.08Mb 2007 | Genre: Red Dirt | Songwriter
Austin singer-songwriter legend and master of soulful "red dirt" roots music returns with a panoramic collection of songs on his first new release in two years. Cimarron Manifesto pays tribute to Woody Guthrie, J.J. Cale and LaFave's Oklahoma homeland, and sings of long roads, heavy loads and wide-open spaces. The record artfully combines soulful originals with inventive covers, creating a country mood that is both sweet and mournful.
Delivering his most realized recording to date, LaFave solidifies his place as one of1 the truly great American songwriters. Raised by the Cimarron River that runs from northeastern New Mexico to Tulsa, OK, LaFave draws great inspiration from the independent thinkers and musicians from this region and pays homage to them while exploring the current American climate. "I wanted to make an album that was a musical statement - something that spoke to that part of America that's going away."
Cimarron Manifesto is LaFave's personal response to the country's changing cultural landscape, exploring themes of loss, war and wanderlust. Amidst his brilliant originals (LaFave wrote nine of the twelve), Jimmy reinvents classics by Bob Dylan (Not Dark Yet), Donovan (Catch The Wind) and Joe South (Walk A Mile In My Shoes). Produced by LaFave and recorded in Austin, it features the immense talents of his regular band: John Inmon on guitar and lap steel, Andrew Hardin on guitar, Radoslav Lorkovic on keys, Wally Doggett on drums and Jeff May on bass.
Looking to include some of his favorite female singers, LaFave invited Ruthie Foster, Carrie Rodriguez and Kacy Crowley to lend their vocals, adding their full harmonies to four tracks. Recorded with friends and neighbors, Cimarron Manifesto has an organic feel that grew out of the red dirt of LaFave's childhood. Celebrating the restless American soul, it's destined to be the brightest jewel in a career of musical treasures.
