Jimmy LaFave

Sadly, I never heard of Jimmy Lafave until recently in 2025. I heard his song "Going Home" for the first time about a month ago. I am now a giant fan of his music and can't get enough of his singing. I am totally mesmerized by his pronunciation of many words that he sang. I deeply regret not having ever had the opportunity to have known him.

Was a pleasure to know Jimmy for 18 years, introduce all sorts of visitors to my research center to UT Austin to his music, interview him for op ed pieces twice, and have him into UT during Walking Woody´s Road to perform and talk Dylan.

We still miss him terribly

My wife and I had the pleasure of first seeing Jimmy at a 1999 outside festival in New Jersey along with our then seven month old twins.

His music soothed me. Peace to the LaFave family.

Loving playing Jimmy's music ar home abd in my car. A legend.

The dark pandemic brought me the darker news of you. I learned of your passing three years after your death. RIP, Sweetheart.❤

First heard Jimmy's music in Stillwater OK in 1976. He just popped up on Amazon Music, his sweet sound brought back great memories! RIP

From dancing at the Hole in the Wall the first time I heard him, to sitting on a tailgate with him at a campfire in Kerrville trying to convince him to play, to the time he and Barbara very kindly gave me a ride from the Cactus Cafe one late night, I have many wonderful memories of Jimmy and I am so very, very sorry to hear of his passing.
