But it's his words that beckon you back, that make the listener stick his songs on repeat play. McMurtry has a great knack for crafting slice of life story-songs, in a way that makes one think first and foremost of writers, of masters of the short story like Raymond Carver or Flannery O'Connor. Seemingly throwaway lines on closer inspection reveal themselves as expert dialogue: \"Some guy who used to manage some band I've never heard of is trying to manage you.\" The excoriating yet tender \"Holiday,\" which features the line \"Pass the potatoes/ awww, eat sh*t and die,\" begs to be played at your next Thanksgiving get-together.

His lyrics are careful observations laced with wry wit that when delivered in McMurtry’s dry tone sound fatalistic, the result of inarguable fate. Here, they can pass in a whisper as a guitar is likely to drive the emotional point home. Musicianship is highlighted throughout: “Late Norther” is an instrumental, and tracks such as “Iolanthe,” “Levelland,” and “Rayolight” are country-influenced rockers as much as spot-on observational tales. McMurtry’s a natural outsider. His music relates to people who time is passing by (“Off and Running,” “Fuller Brush Man”) and for whom there is no comfortable niche —much like his own career, where he straddles the line between country, folk, and rock without falling victim to the usual songwriting clichés in any of them."},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=192808309&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=192808309&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"192747877","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/192747877?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/d6/e3/62/mzi.omwinkfr.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"343130","textColor2":"3d2a1d","textColor4":"605146","textColor1":"060202","bgColor":"ececea","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/too-long-in-the-wasteland/192747877","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Country","Roots Rock","Americana","Singer/Songwriter"],"trackCount":11,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1989-08-22","name":"Too Long In the Wasteland","recordLabel":"Columbia","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"074644522921","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 1989 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.","playParams":{"id":"192747877","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"The son of Lonesome Dove novelist Larry McMurtry, Texas songwriter James McMurtry immediately established himself with his 1989 debut album, Too Long in the Wasteland, as a terse, concise singer and writer with a well-stoked sense of alienation and personal conflict amongst familiar small town surroundings. John Mellencamp took on the production duties and grabbed his own powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff to pile drive these songs into the dirt. From the opening crush of “Paint By Numbers,” McMurtry comes off like a rural Lou Reed, reeling off sarcastic one-liners in deadpan voice while the band electrify the pose and the female back-up singers sweeten the hardline. The bluesy longing of the title track and the sweet country harmonies of “Angeline” further soften the edges. But McMurtry’s biting wit ensures he sneaks in the last laugh.

With country producer Lloyd Maines at the boards, McMurtry’s heartland rock strips down from its dense sometimes overpowering wall of sound and focuses on its roots, alluding to the blues (“Sixty Acres”) and punching up McMurtry’s country twang (“Paris”) until his wry witticisms sound as if he’s become the southern Warren Zevon. The years have put gray in his temples and, by his own account in “Paris,” extra weight on his frame, but his greatest discovery is the simple fact that he’s growing older just like everyone else. The angry young man hits middle age with a bittersweet nod. “No More Buffalo” questions his dreams. “I can’t grow up cause I’m too old now,” he sings in “Peter Pan,” while “Jaws of Life” acknowledges the new aches and pains and how life’s everyday just isn’t like they sell it to us in the movies."},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=712190790&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=712190790&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"712157007","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/712157007?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1400,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music4/v4/36/5a/37/365a3739-d704-666e-2dd1-4af48759ea1d/00015891106052.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1400,"textColor3":"bcbbab","textColor2":"d7d8c3","textColor4":"b1b2a2","textColor1":"e4e3ce","bgColor":"191a1e","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/walk-between-the-raindrops/712157007","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Country","Roots Rock","Americana"],"trackCount":10,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1998-08-18","name":"Walk Between the Raindrops","recordLabel":"Sugar Hill Records","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"00015891106052","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2006 Sugar Hill Records, A Welk Music Group Company","playParams":{"id":"712157007","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"James McMurtry got his start with help from John Mellencamp who produced his first two albums, 1989’s Too Long in the Wasteland and 1992’s Candyland, and gave McMurtry’s wry, literate tales a powerful middle America classic rock thump. However, the ensuing years with the bluegrass-flavored record label Sugar Hill refocused McMurtry towards his musical roots and Texas producer Lloyd Maines adds dobro, slide and steel guitars among the more traditional accompaniment. “Soda and Salt” and the unusually topical “Airline Agent” employ a juke joint blues, while the other tunes enjoy a road band’s tight familiarity. Townes Van Zandt’s “Rex’s Blues” is given an unusually light approach, the song’s whirring despair replaced with a Stones-like rhythm punch. “I Only Want to Talk to You” recalls Infidels-era Dylan in its carefully measured arrangement and its calm, reasoned observations. McMurtry’s wit continues to snap in quick quips that skirt past the deceptively relaxed folk-rock beat. He adapts to whatever life throws him, but it never stops him from questioning what he’s received."},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=712157007&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=712157007&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1278505495","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1278505495?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1500,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music124/v4/ec/c3/b7/ecc3b744-e94e-fc6c-744e-65b3a6dc45a1/888880554529.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1500,"textColor3":"7c4745","textColor2":"61140f","textColor4":"80433f","textColor1":"5b1917","bgColor":"ffffff","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/just-us-kids/1278505495","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Roots Rock","Singer/Songwriter","Contemporary Singer/Songwriter","Country","Alternative Country","Americana"],"trackCount":14,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2008-04-15","name":"Just Us Kids","recordLabel":"Lightning Rod Records","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"888880554529","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2008 Lightning Rod Records","playParams":{"id":"1278505495","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=1278505495&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1278505495&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"402495867","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/402495867?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":620,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/a3/f2/02/mzi.rsewwytr.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":620,"textColor3":"ccbf99","textColor2":"f0c87c","textColor4":"c0a063","textColor1":"fff0c0","bgColor":"040000","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/live-in-aught-three/402495867","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Country","Americana","Southern Rock","Rock & Roll"],"trackCount":14,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2004-03-23","name":"Live in Aught-Three","recordLabel":"Lightning Rod Records","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"884977820959","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2004 2010 James McMurtry under exclusive license to Lightning Rod Records.","playParams":{"id":"402495867","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=402495867&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=402495867&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"493630666","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/493630666?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/c0/24/26/mzi.qxdpzxrm.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"9888b5","textColor2":"b39bd1","textColor4":"967fad","textColor1":"b6a5db","bgColor":"23111c","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/candyland/493630666","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Roots Rock","Country","Americana"],"trackCount":10,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1992-06-02","name":"Candyland","recordLabel":"Columbia/Legacy","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"886443325784","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 1992 Sony Music Entertainment","playParams":{"id":"493630666","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"For his second album, singer-songwriter James McMurtry again went back into the studio with John Mellencamp as his producer and with Mellencamp’s backing band even more tightly poised. Candyland, from 1992, while still lyrically strong, looked to showcase McMurtry the heartland rocker. Lyrics are pruned and choruses are sharpened. Trilling organs and tougher guitars produce a wall of sound that McMurtry maneuvers with an experienced hand. Thematically McMurtry’s obsessed with how people pass the time and how happiness can be a state of oblivion more than a case of circumstance. The opening gambit, “Where’s Johnny” sets the tone, as a promising high-school academic and athlete succumbs to emotional disturbance and lives in his parents’ house past thirty, while the tract-housing occupants of the title tune sleepwalk with indifference. “Good Life” defines itself by mere survival. “Storekeeper” traces the bitterness of a successful shop owner who can’t empathize with his lowly customers’ plights. Like an American Ray Davies, McMurtry’s a sociologist working as a songwriter."},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=493630666&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=493630666&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"334545068","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/334545068?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/9e/c8/ab/mzi.wddwdzeb.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"bba067","textColor2":"e0b457","textColor4":"b69348","textColor1":"e7c47d","bgColor":"0d0f0e","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/live-in-europe-audio-version/334545068","isComplete":false,"genreNames":["Rock","Music","Rock & Roll","Roots Rock","Southern Rock","Singer/Songwriter","Folk-Rock","Country","Americana","Contemporary Singer/Songwriter","Alternative Country"],"trackCount":11,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2009-10-13","name":"Live in Europe (Audio Version)","recordLabel":"Lightning Rod Records","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"884977372120","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2009 Lightning Rod Records","playParams":{"id":"334545068","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"James McMurtry is known as an elite singer-songwriter, as poised with the pen as his father, novelist Larry McMurtry. His vocal range is limited, but used for maximum effect, shading characters with anger or empathy. Over the years, however, McMurtry’s also become a crisp live performer. He may not be much for small talk, but he’s assembled a flawless backing band with ex-Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan influencing the outcome. Tunes such as “Bayou Torture” and “Just Us Kids” come rocking out with a Stones-Faces groove that center on the snarl of the electric guitars and a rhythm section that take McMurtry out of the library and onto the dance floor. The firm guitar-organ chords push the downward spiral of “Hurricane Party” to the max as the water rises and fate takes its course. The country sway of “You’d a’ Thought (Leonard Cohen Must Die)” delivers McMurtry’s patented dry fatalism where wisdom is imparted but rarely employed with a fierce electric guitar leading the fray and McLagan’s organ keeping watch on the backside."},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"type":"buy"},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=334545068&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"923787687","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/923787687?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":1400,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music1/v4/cc/f0/ec/ccf0ec6f-237a-5dbd-3189-78b76a54f900/616892234449_Cover.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1400,"textColor3":"b1b796","textColor2":"b8d2b6","textColor4":"99ad97","textColor1":"d6deb4","bgColor":"1c1c1c","hasP3":false},"artistName":"James McMurtry","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/howm-i-gonna-find-you-now-single/923787687","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Singer/Songwriter","Music"],"trackCount":2,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2014-10-27","name":"How'm I Gonna Find You Now - Single","recordLabel":"Complicated Game","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"616892234449","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ Complicated Game","playParams":{"id":"923787687","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=1980&salableAdamId=923787687&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$1.98","price":1.98},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=923787687&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}}]}},"meta":{"views":{"order":["you-might-also-like","other-versions","related-videos","audio-extras","video-extras","more-by-artist","appears-on"]}}}]}
