About this album

After nearly two decades of quietly stirring in country-music obscurity, Jimmie Dale Gilmore released ”After Awhile”, his first major-label outing and the wider world's introduction to the quivering vocals and metaphysical lyrics that earned him his nickname: The Zen Cowboy. On tracks like the gently trippy "Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown" and the Tex-Mex-flavoured mortality meditation "Go to Sleep Alone," Gilmore illustrates why he's come to be regarded as a bona-fide Americana legend.
