I'm sorry, but I just can't turn my back on Jimmy LaFave. It's not like I am going to sleep with the guy, but holy shit does this man have substance.
I think that last time we did this "pick your favorite" drill, I went with either Jimmy, or James McMurtry. Which, if I had to pick either to share a prison cell with, I would choose McMurtry because he would have me cut up and quartered and on a bar-b-que spit quicker than you could say "trailer trash". And I respect that.
But Jimmy LaFave makes it look so easy. He came on the Music Fog bus in Memphis, didn't ask any questions, didn't seem concerned what we had planed with cameras and recording equipment and didn't care that we hadn't showered in a couple of days. When we planted the Neumann mic in front of him, he made love to it. Worked that mic like it was an experienced divorced 35 year old single mom. The mic melted and so did everyone on the bus.
Nuff said
