Jim Lauderdale has had success by writing songs others have had hits with. Jim Lauderdale has been favorably compared to the late Gram Parsons. Jim Lauderdale sounds an awful lot like a tame Rodney Crowell. Jim Lauderdale is playing it safe when he releases albums such as Every Second Counts. Jim Lauderdale should be more famous than he is. Either all, some, or none of the above are true. If you want to find out which statement is which, seek out a copy of Every Second Counts and find out for yourself. It's as simple as that. You will not be disappointed. ~ James Chrispell minimize
