The Flatlanders are an American country band from Lubbock, Texas, founded in 1972 by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock.
Butch Hancock is a country and folk music recording artist and songwriter. His discography consists of 12 studio albums, 2 singles, and 2 compilations. In addition, his songs have been performed on numerous albums by other artists.

Jimmie D was, of course, one of the mainstays of the Flatlanders with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. After Awhile has no musical saw to evoke that West Texas wind, as on Legend: for that we make do with Jimmie's distinctive, high lonesome tenor on a strong collection of songs.
