Description
Bob Dylan, Dave Alvin, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Ely, Robbie Robertson, Steve Earle, Lou Reed. Are you with me? James McMurtry's musical world resides in a dimension inhabited by those aforementioned artists. His literate, heartland rock was first championed by John Mellancamp and now almost 15 years later James is revered by legions more. He finds a good lazy groove and he tells a damn fine story.
That's his modus operandi and he's mastered it."Not since John Prine made his debut in 1971 has a musical voice from the heartland offered such biting images of ordinary Americans living and dying in places far from the bright lights of the big city" - New York Times.
