Life and career
Gilmore is a native of the Texas Panhandle, having been born in Amarillo and raised in Lubbock, Texas. Hank Williams was his first musical influence, as well as the honky tonk brand of country music that his father adored. He was exposed to the uprising of other Texans, like Roy Orbison and Lubbock native Buddy Holly, as well as Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, the latter two being in the line up at a concert he attended on October 15, 1955 at Lubbock's Fair Park Coliseum. He was profoundly affected by the 1960s and Bob Dylan's revival of folk music and blues in the United States.
The Flatlanders were founded by Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. Since 1972, the group has been on and off. The band's first recording project, which dates back to the early 1970s, was barely known. It has since been acknowledged as a milestone of modern, alternative country through Rounder's 1990 reissue (More a Legend Than a Band). The three friends reunited for rare Flatlanders appearances, and New West Records' Now Again, a long-awaited sequel to First Blood.
Gilmore spent a considerable portion of the 1970s in an ashram in Denver, Colorado, studying metaphysics with teenaged Indian guru Prem Rawat, also known as Maharaji. In the 1980s, he moved to Austin, where his first solo album, Fair and Square, was finally released in 1988.
Gilmore's followers adore his tenor voice, which is characterized by clear, pure, country-inflected singing.
Gilmore teamed up with Willie Nelson in 1994 to contribute "Crazy" to the Red Hot Country's AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country.
In Peter Bogdanovich's 1993 film The Thing Called Love, a love story about young songwriters in Nashville, Gilmore appeared as himself. In the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, he had a small but memorable acting role. With a pistol from Walter Sobchak's "The Dude" Lebowski's closest friend and sidekick, he portrayed a bowler named Smokey, an aging, mentally "fragile" pacifist. Terry Gross has appeared on The Tonight Show with host Jay Leno, the Late Show with David Letterman, Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, and the Fresh Air Radio show. Colin Gilmore, Gilmore's nephew, is also a singer-songwriter based in Austin.
In the 1995 Noah Baumbach film Kicking and Screaming, Gilmore's song "Braver Newer World" is included. Gilmore's Come on Back, an album of songs his father loved, was released in 2005. "This new album is a collection of recordings of some old songs that my dad adored," Gilmore said of the album. I love them as well as the fact that it is a project that is so dear to me." On the soundtrack of Jacques Audiard's 2009 film, A Prophet (Un Prophète), he performed his version of "Mack the Knife" from the album One Endless Night.
In 1993, Gilmore was nominated for three Grammy Awards, Best Contemporary Folk Album for Spinning Around The Sun, and Best Traditional Folk Album Since 1999, Braver Newer World.
