« You know, this will all work out in the end the way it is supposed to...badly. | Main | »

I have no idea why this guy isn't being listened to by every thinking creature...

"Guess you're mostly Baptists. Few Methodists in the back. Actually, we need the Methodists down here for this part..."James McMurtry is Larry McMurtry's son. Please don't hold that against him . He has a somewhat monotone voice and a poetic twist that reminds me of Robert Earle Keen, hung over and pissed off. He generally has great bands and excellent musical instincts. He also writes with razor...You might be in grad school/up at MIT/Or down in the Canal Zone/Being all you can be/You might get to thinkin'/You're ahead of the game/But when you're paining by numbers/it all comes out the same...He's been around since at least '89, putting his particular twist on things, and I know that I haven't been paying attention like I should have...my loss . Normally, I like to embed videos -- guess you probably noticed if you're looking at this site -- but the links are to incredible songs. For some reason, he or his record company isn't excited about letting people embed his formal stuff. Mistake, I think...part of the old music wants to be free mindset that I suspect he shares, but hell, he's trying to make a buck. Guitar strings and shit can get expensive. So, go to I-Tunes or Rhapsody and stock up. And, of course, if you're in North Texas, stop by Dad's bookstore ...maybe they'll be there bitching at each other while stocking shelves.

Most importantly, if you are ever in Austin on a Wednesday night check and see if he is going to be playing at the Continental Club, which is a truly great experience.

Always glad to see another McMurtry fan.
