You know how some singers' voices are so there THERE for you? You hear it and your mind and body just cave, "yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Jimmy Lafave is the there THERE for me. I can't hear him sing without my knees buckling. Pillow talk into my soul.
Lafave was born in Texas. Spent his teen years in Oklahoma. He knew Garth Brooks when the only thing people said about him was, "What kind of name is Garth?"
Lafave came back to Texas to further his singing career and has stayed here ever since.
There are two cover songs he does that kill me: Springsteen's Valentine's Day (Trail, Disc 2) and Dylan's Buckets of Rain (Road Novel).
Here's one of the most well known songs written by LaFave, Never Is A Moment (aka, Beautiful Divine).
I saw him at this venue. I think I was in the audience. I would be the one on my knees. Oh, and sorry about the poor quality of the recording.
