Jim is from Troutman, NC. not far from Statesville, where I lived at one time. I think we’re of similar age. Always loved his album Time Flies.
A good little documentary on the great Jim Lauderdale.
It clocks in at a little over one hour and eighteen minutes, with appearances by Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Rodney Crowell, and Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam's original producer and guitarist). It may be all you need to pique your interest in this very talented songwriter and singer in the so-called Americana style of music.
