McMurtry tours year round and consistently throws down unparalleled powerhouse performances. The Washington Post notes: “Much attention is paid to James McMurtry’s lyrics and rightfully so: He creates a novel’s worth of emotion and experience in four minutes of blisteringly stark couplets. What gets overlooked, however, is that he’s an accomplished rock guitar player … serious stuff, imparted by a singularly serious band.
Artists similar to James McMurtry include: Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen, John Prine, and Hayes Carll.
In December of 2017, he released a politically charged single entitled “State of the Union.” Listen below.
