"If you have any Jimmy................. Please Share The Groveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!"

RIGHT, LAFAVEFAN !

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LAFAVE ON DIME !


Here's a very rare one out of our collection, never traded before....





This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).





Short biography (stolen from lafavefan...):

Jimmy LaFave was born in Wills Point, Texas, a small town 30 miles east of Dallas. He began
school down the road in Mesquite and by Junior High was making music perched behind his
Sears & Roebuck drum kit. It wasn’t long before his mother traded a drawer full of green
stamps for his first guitar and the switch to singer–songwriter was in progress. His family
later moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he finished high school. Although he has lived
in Austin for nearly 20 years, many people think of him as being from Oklahoma, because of
his strong musical ties to the state and what he often refers to as its “red dirt music.”
It was in this landscape that he began to define his sound and soak up a combination of his
experiences among authentic songwriters from the tradition of Woody Guthrie. Before leaving
Oklahoma for Austin, Jimmy did some independent recording and toured the southwest with the
first version of his band Night Tribe.

He moved to Austin in 1986, where he continued to write songs and to develop his musical ideas.
Shortly after arriving he was asked to help launch the songwriter nights at the new performance
venue Chicago House. In 1988 he recorded his self–produced tape, Highway Angels...Full Moon Rain,
which won the Austin Chronicle Reader’s Poll Tape of the Year Award. This led to a recording
contract with a small independent label and allowed LaFave the opportunity to work with Bob
Johnston, producer of several of LaFave’s favorite albums including Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde
and Nashville Skyline. Although these recordings were never released, by 1990 LaFave had put
together an Austin version of Night Tribe and had become, according to the Austin American–Statesman,
“a perennial presence upon the Austin music scene.” In 1992 Jimmy released a self–produced CD,
Austin Skyline, which drew international attention to his songwriting and vocal talents, and led
to a publishing agreement with Polygram Music. Due to his growing popularity and radio play on
more than 200 stations, Austin Skyline and its label, Bohemia Beat, received national distribution
through the Rounder Record Group. His second album, Highway Trance was released in 1994 followed
by his third CD, Buffalo Return to the Plains, in 1995.

The grass roots demand and critical acclaim for Jimmy’s music, which led to extensive touring in the
United States and Europe, was recognized in 1996 when he was asked to tape a performance for the
PBS musical series Austin City Limits, and was invited by Nora Guthrie to appear in Cleveland at the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to Woody Guthrie. That same year LaFave won his second consecutive
Austin Music Award for Best Singer–Songwriter. His fourth CD, Road Novel, which was released in
early 1997, received many glowing reviews. That year he was asked by Nora Guthrie to speak and perform
at the induction of Woody Guthrie into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He traveled to Europe twice that
year and also toured the USA and Canada and made multiple appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage.

In the fall of 1998, Jimmy and record label President, Mark Shumate, began compiling a 15–year
retrospective of bootleg tapes, live performances, radio shows and studio out takes. LaFave kicked
off 1999 with the release of the CD entitled "Trail". The double CD contains 31 tracks recorded
in Texas and around the world. Including 12 Dylan songs, it answered the demand of fans for a
’LaFave does Dylan’ CD. In the liner notes Dave Marsh noted: “Jimmy LaFave has one of America’s
greatest voices, and this album is the story of what he has learned to do with it. It’s a unique
instrument, with startling range and its own peculiar sense of gravity, liable to swoop in and
wreck your expectations at any instant.”
