Topic: james mcmurtry

anyone heard of this man here?  my stepbrother just introduced me to him.  id say style is similar to john prine, exccept iwth in my opinion more to the music, not to take anything away from prine.  like a cross between john prine and neil young with of course plenty of original touches.

some songs serious, some lighter, all i have heard have been good, all on t he myspace are worth listening too.  the best lyric driven music i have heard in a long time.  enjoy.

Caught him on Austin City limits about a month ago, I agree in your comparison, different than anything I listen to recently, might have to pick up a cd.

Re: james mcmurtry

I used to work with a guy who played part time in his band, guitar I think. never saw him play. I guess wasnt my taste in music at the time. played in Chicago area alot in late 80"s .At this point in time would give him more of a listen.
