2025 Charity Shop Purchases #38 - James McMurtry -Just Us Kids
The BRICC Community Shop in Ballantrae is a veritable treasure trove of floatsom, jetsom, trivia and tat. You can pick up absolutely anything for a very reasonable price.
It is a bit of an Aladdin's cave with stuff piled hither and dither. There must of been about 50 to 60 CDs in close proximity to each other but scattered here and there. Astonishingly among the usual detritus there was a copy of Just Us Kids a 2008 album by James McMurtry on the German Blue Rose label. They were going for something like 4 for a pound but I had no hesitation handing over a pound for this alone.
McMurtry albums in the wild are rarer that hens teeth and it is very unusual to see one in a charity shop. I only have one other one Too Long in the Wasteland plus a couple of digital ones Complicated Game and The Horses and The Hounds at least one of which came from fellow admirer Rol
Probably my find of the year so far.
