Thank you for recognizing this artist. This is how we reach out. Listen to more James Mcmur

This song is timeless

I am so glad to meet you. I'm a62 year old white dude. Music, and stories are the path to understanding one another. Understanding. One another is the path to piece

I'm a long haul truck driver and when I'm on the road all over the U.S this song runs thru my head almost constantly.

Great American songwriter. We'll have to hip you to others like John Prine, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, Jason Isbell....

McMurtry is my musical hero. He's been doing this for decades: masterful, insightful lyrics combined with excellent musicianship. I have so many songs to recommend to you. I'll start you with Down Across the Delaware and What's the Matter (unreleased on an album but many unofficial non-acoustic live versions on KZfaq). Subscribing now. McMurtry is WAY underrated relative to his talent and body of work,

Great song, by a great songwriter. His father is Larry McMurtry, is a great novelist, so I guess he gets his great lyrics honestly.

This may be the most underrated American song of the 21st century.

Let Music help us to breach the divide.

I used to open my weekly podcast with this song.

Not only is this song Still Relevant Today, it may be More relevant than when it was written and released?!

Thanks for playing my favorite singer\songwriter! He takes no prisoners and I love him for it! Been a fan for many many years. We in Texas have little to celebrate lately but a few of us liberals hold tight. Getting rid of the gop is our ultimate victory!!! Help us!!! James is one thing in Texas we are proud of!!

Songs you should react to by James McMurty 1. Choctaw bingo (Ray Wylie Hubbard has a version too) 2. Stancliff's lament 3. Song for a deck hands daughter 4. Angeline 5. Too long in the wasteland 6. Levelland 7. Painting by Numbers 8. No more buffalo 9. Peter pan 10. Light's of Cheyenne

His Choctaw BINGO - 1st time I heard this was a Saturday morning Blues program. Got me cranking down the Interstate. Later his concert, was our 1st date, with my girlfriend, who is more insane, than this song. Next time we saw him, she made sure, she wore her Red Dress. (His “Where Did You Get that Red Dress?”) The one so tight, my GF couldn’t wear underwear. All his songs are great. His best version of this song. On KZfaq look for the video with the smoke shop image. Actually, my GF’s whole family sounds like his relatives. GF, used to ride in the car, on the Interstate topless, until, some trucker chased us down I-35 at 90. His latest video is "How am I Gonna Find You Now"

Truth in these lyrics.

Bars... Bars as far as the eye can see.

Listen to more . we are the same. Some profit by keeping us divided. Let us join together.

He just released a new LP. Check out the song Canola Fields or Jackie.

Check out Merle Hagard’s song, “Are the good times really over.”

Try No More No More Buffalo and Copper Canteen. Amazing pieces from an incredible man

This is just the tip of the iceberg for this great songwriter.

Another great one! The Songs been on 🔥 🔥 here today 👌

I’ve loved James McMurtry for a long time. His songs are beautiful or painful stories and always poignant.

United we bargain, divided we beg. UNIONIZE! The only way for a working man to get a fair shake is to be on a level field.

This is pure truth 🔥.

That was a good'n!!

Wow

Listen to any of his songs all are great. No More Buffalo, Just US Kids, Paint By Numbers! Check out his latest album I think it is titled Hounds and Horses or the other way around

James is Larry McMurtry's son.

Not familiar with this dude but you gotta love a great storyteller

Background vocals are nod to native American music.
