For a man about to put out his 37th album, Jim Lauderdale still has
the glimmer in his eye of the young man who first made his way to
Nashville back in 1979.
Actively writing and recording music for the past four-plus decades,
Mr. Americana—as Lauderdale has grown to be known around town—has
fine-tuned his brand of country music, taking influences from his
upbringing in the Carolinas, the bluegrass and string music of
surrounding Appalachia, the folk and Grateful Dead catalog of the 60s
and beyond, and the twanging, honky tonk of the town he’s long called
home and distilling them into a sound distinctively his own.
"He's a man of great style, an exceptional songwriter and tremendous singer." Elvis Costello
"He's my favorite part of Americana music." Keith Secor, Old Crow Medicine Show
The album "Freedom" is a nice comeback of my alltime favorite Neil Young The songs on Freedom were written over the span of more than a decade."Too Far Gone" dates to the Zuma era, and would be performed regularly in concert in 1976

After many arguments and a lawsuit, Young left Geffen Records in 1988 and returned to his original label, Reprise, with This Note's for You. Freedom brought about a new, critical and commercially successful album
On July 10, 2013 - The Americanarama Tour hit St. Paul Minnesota's Midway Stadium with Richard Thompson, My Morning Jacket, Wilco and Bob Dylan. Towards the end of Dylan's set, the Bard of Hibbing waxed nostalgic about an early chapter in his career when he played piano with Bobby Vee's band The Shadows in 1959. Indeed it was his first paying gig. Vee who recently retired from performing after an Alzheimers diagnosis was in the audience and was invited up next to the soundboard for this tribute and the two men caught up with each other after the show. A mutual admiration society to be sure and just magic to witness.
As Bobby's son-in-law I had access to some old Shadows images and
decided to mash them up with two of the handheld videos floating around
YouTube. Thanks to FallenManWildMercury Films and Harry Cane - I hope
you don't mind my cutting your two videos into one. You caught a rare
and heartfelt moment that Minnesota music writers have called one of the
standout moments of 2013. Thank you - and obviously no copyright
