According to Americana all-star Jason Isbell, “James McMurtry is one of my very few favorite songwriters on Earth and these days he’s working at the top of his game.”Singer-songwriter McMurtry’s albums Just Us Kids (2008) and Childish Things (2005) back the claim, each scoring endless critical praise. The former earned McMurtry his highest Billboard 200 chart position in two decades (since eclipsed by 2015’s Complicated Game) and notched Americana Music Award nominations. Childish Things spent six full weeks topping the Americana Music Radio chart in 2005 and 2006, and won the Americana Music Association’s Album of the Year, with We Can’t Make It Here named the organization’s Song of the Year.
His latest album The Horses and the Hounds (2021) was recorded with legendary producer Ross Hogarth (John Fogerty, Van Halen, Keb’ Mo’) at Jackson Browne’s Groovemaster’s in Santa Monica, California – a world class studio that has housed such legends as Bob Dylan (2012’s Tempest) and David Crosby (2016’s Lighthouse) as well as Browne himself for I’m Alive (1993) and New Found Glory, Coming Home (2006).
Other accolades include a 1996 Grammy award nomination for Long Form Music Video for Where’d You Hide the Body and an American Indie Award for Best Americana Album for It Had to Happen (1997).
Whenever he is not on the road, you can catch him performing at the Continental Club in Austin.
