The Flatlanders January 21, 2011

The Flatlanders is an alternative country band with a country-rock influence from Lubbock, Texas founded by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. The three have been friends for almost 40 years, and members of that not-really-a-band, life-of-its-own musical entity known as The Flatlanders for nearly as long. They are the composers of the soundtrack to the 1998 film 'The Horse Whisperer.'
