YouTube Spotlight: Jim Lauderdale

Grammy-winning country singer and songwriter Jim Lauderdale straddles the worlds of country, bluegrass and Americana with his soulful, neo-traditional sound and compelling original songs. Esquire calls Lauderdale a “Renaissance man…whose voice somehow connects Buck Owens, George Jones and Otis Redding.” He’s been quite successful in mainstream country as a songwriter—his songs have been recorded by the Dixie Chicks, George Strait, Patty Loveless, Vince Gill and others—but it is his own genre-crossing music that best captures his expansive artistic vision. Lauderdale will perform on Sunday afternoon. The full schedule is here.



Here's an older video of a live performance of "Lucky 13".
