About: James McMurtry

A Texan storyteller with eleven albums behind him, McMurtry writes song-length short stories - working-class portraits, political barbs, characters you feel you've met - backed by a road-tested roots-rock band. His 2025 record The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy, his first in four years, drew some of the strongest reviews of his career.
