Jim is one of the funniest and kindest musicians I've ever met. So happy to see him here!
Such a humble and talented man.I love Jim & Buddy Miller's Sirius show🎸👍
Jim is a national treasure. He's also a gracious human. I saw him not too long ago with The Po' Ramblin' Boys at the Station Inn and had a nice chat with him. I just had to thank him for doin' what he does. As always Otis, great stories ..
I worked with someone who worked with Dylan. He told me every time he meets a fan he will just stand there and let them tell them things - because they always do! And then nod and walk off if he wants to. Sure enough when I ran into him once he turned around and squared off waiting to be talked to. I nodded and walked away and so do he.
I live in Ulster co New York, Levon’s home county and not a day goes by that Levon’s name comes up . Levon is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I’ve seen him play for free in front of 10 in a local park people and he was great.
you must mean that Levon‘s name does not come up…
Man I love Jim, can't wait to hear his stories
Otis, you keep knocking it over the fence with your awesome guests! Love hearing from Jim , very good singer, very talented and well spoken man. I for one really appreciate what your doing 😊 Thank You
Thanks Otis for having Jim.
Crazy this popped up because i just went down the rabbit hole 🕊watching a lot of videos about Jim. And I ended up watching the “king of the broken hearts” which filled in a lot. Ive met Jim a few times before, and saw him play a bunch, at a festival I volunteered at for ten years that he went to. Great music great guy. I hope to write songs with him someday. Sounds good. Be blessed everybody . Thanks Otis. thanks Jim.
Saw Jim here in Louisville many years ago and he seems to be just a down to earth, kind guy. Thanks for the interview!
i totally get what it would be like to meet bob dylan when you're an accomplished musician. he's like this wave of energy. man, no need to explain you felt like you might "fold". haha! i get dizzy in the audience when i think about bob dylan being a few feet away. it's just amazing!
I LOVE JIM LAUDERDALE!!!!!! his new album is so good. Baby steps! the last song is very haunting and powerful "whats important after all". How he has made so many great albums and remains a secret from most people is beyond me.
See you in August, Jim. Another great interview, Otis.
Jim Lauderdale and Kenny Vaughan backing up Lucinda in the Live From Austin video recorded on Dec 5, 1998 is one of my favorites. Those guys were on fire.
Americanafest has never been the same since Lauderdale stopped hosting. He was born to that gig.
I loved the Lone Star Café! Saw some great shows. For those who forgot, it was the one on 5th ave and 13th st with the huge Iguana on the roof. One of the last shows I saw was great folkie Eric Andersen (and friend of/collaborator with Danko) Lucy Kaplansky opened for him. They both still perform. I saw a Danko/Helm show there, but wasn’t fortunate enough to be there in ‘83 or ‘88 when Dylan joined in.
RIP Danko and Helm.
I saw some great shows there myself. I had a five piece and we opened for Buckwheat Zydeco and Robert Gordon. Good times!
Thank you Mr. Gibbs for doing what you do. Bringing these stories, interviews, etc., to all of us out in the sticks, boondocks, small towns. We appreciate you.
Another great one, Otis. I first met Jim working on an Elvis Costello project that T Bone Burnett was producing at Sound Emporium and we wound up being neighbors in Belmont-HIllsboro and used to run into each other at the bank.
More Levon stories!
Man I love Jim Lauderdale. His record Every Second Counts got me through a real rough patch from the summer of 1995, and on through to the summer of 1996. I've been a huge fan ever since. I remember the Lonestar Cafe on the 1980's. Super cool Texas themed bar on 14th street with a stage way to small for most of the great acts that played there. This here what he's talking about was a real moment in time. Thanks for this.
I just want you to know, I love your insights with these various artists. I love the history of the music, and you represent it all so well. Thank you Otis.
Another great one Otis. Thanks Jim.
Thanks Otis,Jim is great.The Lone Star was on the corner of 5th and 13th, seen everyone there all the old time blues guys would come thru Levon, cool local bands, ect.
The bar was right in front of the stage so you could meet all your musical heroes.Met Roni Stonemam(Hee Haw banjo player and comedian) at a Charlie Mussewhite show, super cool missing tooth and all!!
What a great interview. As always. ✌❤
My goodness that first '83/84 area deal sounds amazing. Wish there was a recording capture of that little deal. .... Awesome that you were there either way.
That second one is funny & cool as well.
Thanks much for sharing it all. ... Thanks to you Mr. Otis as well. Appreciated as always
I enjoyed the stories and story telling and Jim’s music over the years..
Yes, this brings back memories of The Lone Star…so many great shows there ! I also met Dylan , as a fan once, after The Gershwin Tribute, outside The Brooklyn Academy Of Music, back in the day. Great story, I’ll have to post on here, on that, and my Lone Star stories. Haven’t checked out Otis’s site in awhile. Great content you offer Otis !
There is a tape circulating of Dylan sitting in with Rick Danko & Levon Helm at the Lone Star Cafe - it may be this show Jim Lauderdale is describing.
yes. there are photos too. i used to remember everything bob related-april of 83, i think.
I met Jim at a Gram Parsons festival in Georgia years ago. I was playing with a Parsons tribute band like every other picker that was there. Jim was extremely nice to me and introduced me to Ralph Stanley. It was the second time I had met Dr. Stanley. The first time was back in the 90’s at a theme park that straddles the Carolina’s state line. Back then there were concerts at the park and I was there early trying to find a good seat when I saw Ricky Skaggs walking towards me with Ralph. Ricky sticks out his hand to shake mine and said “ Allow me to introduce you to Ralph Stanley .” Sorry I went off topic. Jim is a great and humble guy.
OMG!!! I’ve looooooved Jim Lauderdale since FOREVER!!! ❤❤❤
Glad you interviewed Jim. Super
GREAT interview.
Hey Jim! Awesome to see you here and that La Terzza Classe shirt.
I had a ticket to go see Jim at a little club downtown right before the Covid hit and it got cancelled. I'll get to see him though, sooner or later.
Jim telling the story about the composition major telling him to "listen and lay back", reminded me of you being on stage with Dickey Betts. You stated that you " just kind of layed back". There were several of us that commented that you did exactly the right thing. This story reinforces your musical instinct.
Cheers Otis! Long time. Good to see you. Rock on!
Been a fan of this guy since King of Lonesome Hearts (especially fond of the followup, Pretty Close to the Truth) and am onboard for pretty much anything having to do with Buddy Miller. Great to see him here -- will check out his new album.
That is funny Jim Lauderdale being told to "keep it down we're having a meeting" ....Ouch! What a decent guy...
I met Jim at Carter’s Vintage Guitars two years ago! He tried to buy the 1964 Martin 00-18 I was in the process of buying 😂 Love that guy
Nice artwork on the wall back there.
Always loved Jim's vibe.
He's like a musical Zelig, except he's not just there, He's PART of it.
One of my fave us when he was on the original Car Wheels tour. Like hw just said, you could see his total appreciation of the Now. Smiling, digging that soli, that verse, erc. I felt Represented in a way watching him both perform and Watch at the same time.
Very Zen man.
Interesting interview and love listening to this video ❤❤
Jim Lauderdale??!? Wow. And I thought the channel couldn't get any better.
That was fun!
First heard him on A Town South of Bakersfield. Talented and versatile and humble; what’s not to like?
That's where I first heard him too!
Such wise words 🥰
Otis, you are killing it. This and Kenny’s latest made my California Friday night.
Great songwriter
Planet of love and whisper cds😮 in my humble opinion are as good as music can be..❤
❤Jim Lauderdale is a quality guy
Makes me nostalgic for the halcyon days at The Palomino in the 80s-90s with Jim, Dale Watson, Dwight, Lucinda, Rosie Flores, etc.
Jim has always been so nice dating back when i use to see him play in L.A. all the time and now that he is the huge successfu songwriting
machine, he was still so gracious when i saw him a few months back in Tucson.
My friend went to this show at the Lone Star Cafe in 1983 to see Levon and Rick and Dylan showed up. Played Your Cheating Heart, Hand Jive and Ain't No More Cane. I'll have to tell him there's a Jim Lauderdale connection. Wish I had been there!
Roland was a real sweetheart. One of the kindest men I ever knew.
I met Jim at Harlan Howard's memorial at the Ryman Auditorium. Manuel introduced us and bought a round of tequila at the Tootsie's upstairs bar. I heard some good stories.
And I went to the same high school as Quincy Jones. . . and Jimi Hendrix.
Robbie Robertson told a story about when The Band and Mr Dylan were living in Woodstock NY and he would come over to hang and create songs on most days to Big Pink and other houses ! Robbie said that most of those early classic songs he wrote were done on the typewriter amidst blaring musical instruments being played , children playing and screaming , TV's on at high volume and with multiple people having loud conversations ! That's how those classic tunes were written with very few edits to them . Talk about having perfect concentration and the ability to work in an ultra loud environment ? Just another string to Bob Dylan's brilliant bow ...best wishes from Scotland ,one and all .
Good advice about "space" right there. The space between the notes is where a lot of the magic hides.....
Jim speaks so beautifully and modestly.
Great stories Otis
Such a modest guy!
My brother was Dylan's NYC guitar tech back in the day.
wow what a gentle gentleman !
This somehow made perfect sense.....❤
so wise so lucky
Being so near to Bob Dylan my heart would stop beating and my hands would turn cold.
Good story, Jim. You look great these days.
Lauderdale’s great !
There's quite a chasm between Roland White and George Jones.
MOR JIM LAUADERDALE...Ask about Robert Hunter writing Collab...loved his sets at this years Merlefest sets!
❤
Ask him about Ralph Stanley. Lauderdale is a fantastic singer.
👍😎
🖐😎👍🎶
I heard Bob in an interview and he said he couldn't write again the songs he wrote in 60s. Bob said he didn't know how he wrote the songs.
Yes, the 60 Minutes interview. I'll never forget the look on his face and sound of his voice as he described this.
Worth looking up btw.
He’s from patchwork river
The "Lone Star Cafe' in NYC ? .... between 43rd & 44th Street. DAMN ! What was the Name of that Very Cute Girl, that ran that place. I worked for a while at the Sam Goody, down that street. So Did Steve Mandell, untill We heard His Musical Collaboration with Eric Weissberg, for the movie- "Deliverence" on the Radio. Then the DJ said that was "Dueling Banjos' At which point Steve said, "Dueing Banjos, Shit ! That was Me & Eric. I'm Calling my Lawyer, NOW !"
I thought it was at the corner of 5th Ave & 13th St, sort of where Greenwich Village meets Union Square. Down near/surrounded by The New School. But it was a long time ago, when I was there...
@@paullumbye5939 That place had a Gigantic Replica of an Iguana on the Roof !
@@paullumbye5939You are correct, sir. Although it was closer to Washington Square than Union Square.
Chili every night?!?!
And Jim played in The Band with Levon and Rick and Garth on the Jericho album didn't he? One.
weird, where time served muso's stand in awe of 'tip of the spear' artists and then generally between themselves recognise each others 'bones' and influences, where is the front row seat ( or preferably just in front of the mixing desk) fan, I guess in the great scheme of things, seen; i guess just like a dumb dog chasing a car.
Check out The Sri Baba Marley Jones Effect….

Cool stuff. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
I can never hear too many Dylan stories. But (even though he had a great voice, and was a very good drummer) Levon Helm is someone who should be largely forgotten. His true character was revealed when he poisoned the minds of fellow bandmates (Danko, Manuel, and -- to some extent -- Hudson) against Robbie Robertson, all because Helm was too greedy (and too ego-centric) to admit that Roberton did the Lion's share of writing for that group (not to mention Robertson's efforts to keep the group drug and alcohol free -- at least on stage -- as well as to try and get them to actually produce records, etc). From weenying out early on (when The Band accompanied Dylan during his electric tour, and Helm chickened out and quit) to his claims that he (Helm, who never wrote any original songs by himself, and likely didn't know how) had cowritten classics like "The Weight" to his final years when he did an interview wherein he made homophobic remarks about Robertson and Scorcese (who were friends throughout their lives) and asked the interview what Robertson had managed to write and record after leaving "the Band" (revealing that he truly knew nothing about Robertson's musical abilities -- not to mention his own lack of such, since he only recorded cover songs or maybe new tunes by other people). He also disparaged "The Last Waltz", a classic film and iconic concert (wherein Helm -- empty headed and likely drugged out -- can be heard referring to Muddy Waters as the King of "country music").
Two of the most disappointing shows I’ve ever were both headlined by Bob Dylan. I’m not saying he’s overrated but he’s gone 50 years on 15 years worth of momentum.
the man has played nearly 4,000 shows that are accounted for over 62 years. i've seen 2 that weren't life changing but i've also seen him over 30 times and many were spectacular.
Dylan is well-known for inconsistent shows.
@@scrambaba Many people go to a Bob Dylan concert expecting a pop music show, so naturally they would be surprised at what “they got.”
@@stevesatterwhite1129 I don‘t disagree that it would be very disappointing to see him on an off night. Very few people get the chance to see multiple concerts of his. I would not pay to see him live because I don‘t like it when he rearranges his best songs and because of inconsistent quality.
