Looking for Peace Town
Jimmy LaFave, who died just over a year ago, knew his way around and inside a song. As a producer, he could pull the purest, truest sounds out of singers, musicians, and songwriters; he knew just what the songs needed to make them reflect the musical identity of the artists. As a singer and musician...

PEACE TOWN OUT JULY 13, 2018
Peace Town reflects his artistry as well as the emotional elements over the last months of his life in which his medical condition brought issues of mortality, legacy, life and love to the forefront. As such, it stands proudly as one of his best works within a critically-lauded career and made his mark as an interpreter who could take the songs of others and virtually make them his own.
Alongside time-tested reinterpretations of two of his own previously released compositions are three numbers LaFave composed to lyrics by his icon, Woody Guthrie, and his interpretations of material by his influences ranging from Chuck Berry to Pete Townshend of The Who to more of what All Music describes as his “fantastic work on Bob Dylan’s songs” on three tracks. The set also includes nods to noted songwriters from Oklahoma - the state where LaFave came of age and started his career - like Leon Russell and J.J. Cale as well as selections from lesser-known but equally gifted writers whose talents he admired.
All told, Peace Town celebrates what All Music says was “the way he blended country, blues, folk, and early rock & roll, his work ethic, and his low-key rapport with fans were all factors that worked in his favor.” And gave everything he recorded, as All Music also observed, “a stamp that is indelible. It’s tattooed on the inside, on the heart where it belongs.”
