Jim Lauderdale is an American country singer and songwriter, born on April 11, 1957 in Statesville, North Carolina. With a career spanning several decades, Lauderdale has established himself as a prominent figure in the country music scene.
Influenced by artists such as *Buddy Miller*, *Bill Kirchen*, and *Robbie Fulks*, Lauderdale's music embodies the essence of traditional country while incorporating elements of Americana and roots rock. His unique blend of genres sets him apart from his contemporaries.
Lauderdale has collaborated with notable musicians including *The Flatlanders*, *Buddy & Julie Miller*, and *Elizabeth Cook*. He has also worked alongside renowned songwriters like *Rodney Crowell* and *Dave Alvin*. His contributions to the industry have earned him critical acclaim and a loyal fan base.

At any given time, you’re likely to find Jim Lauderdale making music, whether he’s laying down a new track in the studio or working through a spontaneous melody at his home in Nashville. And if he’s not actively crafting new music, he’s certainly thinking about it. “It's a constant challenge to try to keep making better and better records, write better and better songs. I still always feel like I'm a developing artist,” he says. This may be a surprising sentiment from a man who’s won two Grammys, released 34 full-length albums, and taken home the Americana Music Association’s coveted Wagonmaster Award. But forthcoming album Game Changer is convincing evidence that the North Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft.

Operating under his own label, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded Game Changer at the renowned Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the release with Jay Weaver and pulling from songs he’d written over the last several years. “There's a mixture on this record of uplifting songs and, at the same time, songs of heartbreak and despair—because that's part of life as well,” he says. “In the country song world especially, that's always been part of it. That’s real life.” Lauderdale would know: He’s been a vital part of the country music ecosystem since 1991, when he released his debut album and began penning songs for an impressively long roster of country music greats
