Biography:
Jimmy LaFave (born 12 July 1955 in Wills Point, Texas, a small town 30 miles east of Dallas; died May 21, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter. He is best remembered for crafting a musical style called Red Dirt music, which he did after moving to Stillwater, Oklahoma, something which cemented him as a disciple of the state's most famous folk musician: Woody Guthrie.
LaFave began school down the road from Wills Point in Mesquite and by Junior High was making music perched behind his Sears & Roebuck drum kit.
