“He’s a man of great style, an exceptional songwriter, and tremendous singer.” Elvis Costello

“Jim Lauderdale could easily be called a renaissance man. He’s a great singer, great guitar player, and there’s no way you could miss his work as a songwriter.” Ricky Scaggs

“Jim Lauderdale is a consummate songwriter, a terrific songwriter, and a great singer.” George Strait

Rolling Stone:
By remaining open to inspiration, disdainful of genre restrictions, and in almost perpetual motion, Lauderdale has been granted access to that precious zone on numerous occasions throughout a recording career that spans a quarter century. He’s hailed as a founding father of the loose aggregation of rootsy styles and sensibilities gathered under the big tent of Americana. Others regard him as a country traditionalist, pointing, reasonably, to I’m a Song, an omnibus of classic country tropes from dusty Bakersfield honkytonk and jazzy swing to barroom weepers, sophisticated Countrypolitan sounds and beyond. His own records have seldom found their place on the charts, but Lauderdale’s songs have often been a rich vein of material (and numerous hits) for the likes of George Strait, Patty Loveless, the Dixie Chicks, Elvis Costello, Mark Chesnutt, Gary Allan, Lee Ann Womack and others. Lauderdale has won a pair of Grammy Awards — not for country music, mind you, but rather bluegrass; one of them for an album recorded with one of his heroes, Dr. Ralph Stanley.

Lauderdale is one of the last true country troubadours, and on My Favorite Place (2024), he continues his Americana story with reliability and grace.

allmusic.com
“Singer/songwriter Jim Lauderdale helped lay out the blueprint for the Americana movement of the '90s and has since continued to earn high critical marks for an eclectic series of albums that have spanned hard country, slick pop, rootsy rock & roll, blues, folk, R&B, and bluegrass. Stylistically restless, Lauderdale's roots were in hard country and bluegrass, but his first album to be released, 1991's Planet of Love, was a savvy blend of rock, blues, and traditional country influences. It scored rave reviews, but with 1999's I Feel Like Singing Today, a collaboration with, Dr. Ralph Stanley, he revealed he was also a first-rate bluegrass vocalist. Over the next two decades, Lauderdale would move back and forth between electric and acoustic projects, always steeped in roots music…”

NPR’s Fresh Air: He’s been called the ‘not-so-missing link between soul and country.’
