In a world
of manufactured stars and soulless singers, Jimmy LaFave stands as testimony
to the redemptive power of rock ’n’ roll. LaFave is one of
rock’s best singers certainly its finest ballad singer with a voice
that can swoop, dart, glide or knock you on your butt.
On “Texoma,” LaFave mixes nine of his own fine songs with several covers, including an oddly wonderful version of the old flower child anthem “San Francisco.” LaFave finds a bluesy groove on “Bad, Bad Girl” and ”Poor Man’s Dream,” and gets downright exuberant on “This Glorious Day,” with help from the fabulous Burns Sisters on vocals.
LaFave’s red dirt rock just gets better with age, and he pours his heart and soul into the ballads. “Texoma” captures this musical treasure at his best.”
