James McMurtry recs, anyone?
I was channel surfing last night and came across James McMurtry on Austin City Limits and he was excellent. I'm sure I've heard the name before but this is the first time I've ever actually heard his music. The first thing that struck me was how much it reminded me of Giant Sand, only bluesier. The second thing that struck me was how interesting and well crafted the lyrics were and no wonder, he's the son of Lonesome Dove author, Larry McMurtry (one of my all-time favorite novels).
So anyone have suggestions for a good starting point?
