Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore

On Downey To Lubbock, roots music legends Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore come together to explore the thousand miles that separate their worlds and all the common ground that lies within. Named for their hometowns in Southern California and West Texas respectively, the record’s song selections are part road map and part love letter: tributes to mutual heroes, friends gone too soon and lifetimes spent on the highway “living off dreams and gasoline.” Spanning nearly a century of material, the twelve-song collection came out in June 1st, 2018 on Yep Roc Records.
