James McMurtry (full band) with Betty Soo
One critic says that James McMurtry writes as though he has spent time eavesdropping on conversations in every Dairy Queen in America. Stephen King, who owns a classic-rock station in Maine, has written that he “may be the truest, fiercest songwriter of his generation.”
Longtime critic Robert Christgau declared McMurtry’s “We Can’t Make It Here” the best song of the 2000s.
He will be touring behind his first album in four years, “The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy.” The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMurtry & Don Dixon (R.E.M., The Smithereens).
