It's been a wee while since the great James McMurtry has graced these pages.
From 1989 to date he has released 13 albums including a Best Of and two Live Ones.
I only own his 1989 debut Too Long in the Wasteland along with copies of 2015's Complicated Game and 2021's The Horses and the Hounds - the last courtesy of Rol
Here's one from each.
I was shocked to discover that I don't have a copy of his legendary Choctaw Bingo. You will have to make do with a great cover by Ray Wylie Hubbard. ( see Comments below)
I was also a wee bit surprised to find out that he is actually a wee bit younger than me!
James McMurtry - Too Long in the Wasteland
Class.
ReplyDeleteActually Chocktaw Bingo is a Ray Wylie Hubbard Song
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting me right as I wasn't aware of that.
DeleteStill it was a good excuse to shoehorn it in!
On my copy of Ray Wylie Hubbard's Delirium Tremolos it is credited to James McMurtry.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the case it is stilla terrific song
Definitely Jimmy Mac. Original version is on his 'Saint Mary of the Woods' album which preceded Mr Hubbard by several years
