Now Again (2002)

Details Release Date: May 21, 2002; Lead Performance: The Flatlanders; Genre: Country

Three of Lubbock, Texas' most gifted singer-songwriters -- Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, and Joe Ely -- recorded their last (and first) album as the Flatlanders way back in 1972. The distinctive styles they've since developed as solo artists perfectly complement one another: Gilmore's high-lonesome croon, Hancock's visceral songcraft, and Ely's adrenalized country rock. A gleeful reunion.
