Upon hearing from Jimmy about his cancer diagnosis keyboardist Chip Dolan wrote two songs inspired by Jimmy LaFave and his unique sound. Dolan conceived of a project honoring LaFave and, fine-tuning the songs with a group of collaborators, friends, bandmates, touring companions and session players who had played with Jimmy LaFave, in March of 2020 gathered them at Jimmy’s former studio, Cedar Creek Recording in South Austin and recorded the songs.
