Favourites : Jimmy LaFave : Cimarron Manifesto

I first came across Jimmy LaFave about 20 years ago when he released his (late career) debut Austin Skyline.  I will write about that in the future but I am playing this album now so -  this is what you get for now.

Jimmy is an Austin resident who has made a career out of interpreting Dylan. His albums are always interesting and ALWAYS include one or two Dylan covers.  Cimarron Manifesto has, like his more recent albums more originals than earlier ones but it still has an excellent cover of Dylan's Not Dark Yet.  Other interesting covers include Walk a Mile in My Shoes and Donovan's Catch The Wind.   The originals are good too easpecially Home Once Again but sorry not on You Tube
