Gilmore is a native of the Texas Panhandle, having been born in Amarillo, Texas and raised in Lubbock, Texas. His earliest musical influence was Hank Williams and the honky tonk brand of country music that his father played. In the 1950s, he was exposed to the emerging rock and roll of other Texans such as Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Lubbock native Buddy Holly. He was profoundly influenced in the 1960s by the likes of The Beatles and Bob Dylan and the folk music and blues revival in that decade.

Banks of the Colorado Jimmie Dale Gilmore
D Down by the banks of the Colorado Bm My true love and I, one night did lie. D And we laughed and played and made fun Bm of the entire world spinnin' round the sun D down by the banks of the Colorado.
Up from the banks of the Colorado, night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard and I took a pillar as a sign that the salt of the earth would soon be mine up from the banks of the Colorado.
chorus:
GD There is another Colorado GD wise men have told me, wise women, too. GD that I have found sweet Eldorado AD down by the banks of one sweet Colorado.
Down by the banks of Colorado the years flowed softly before my eyes. And a circus joined me in my quest and stood with me throughout my test down by the banks of the Colorado
