James McMurtry
Artist Review
I hope everyone realizes this liberal whacko creates the best lyrics in the biz. He's antisocial and seems to be a bit scared of everything. Aside from his hang ups, his music reflects creativity that no others can match. He's been around for a while and has always been under appreciated. His music is great even if he's a "beer salesman."

This one of the most kick ass albums I've heard. The unique sound of James just blows me away.

Actually, the end of Choctaw Bingo says "Strap them kids in, give em' a little bit of Benadryl and a Cherry Coke, were going to OK, gonna have us a time." Yes, his lyrics are awesome and Choctaw Bingo is such a great song. That other versed mentioned is kick ass as well. The entire song is a hoot. If you don't know this music, your in for a huge treat. JM, don't ever stifle your creativity with conformity. Come to think of it, I can deal with your politics if you keep doing what your doing.

Awesome example of everything that IS right with Texas music. Freedom of speech. Love it, live it. It's your concert, you can say whatever you want to say.

I have to agree with the comment prior to mine James. You have such great song writing talent. Everyone I know loves your music. We really can't get enough. I'm proud to say we live in a country where you can express your political views. But come on dude, keep it to yourself at the shows. Others may not be as understanding as myself. I pay cover charges to enjoy your tunes, not get lectured on your political opionion. No offense, keep on rockin'

Quite impressive. A tight band and smart lyrics make for a good time anywhere this man shows up. I love your music James, but hate your politics. Bush in '04. It's going to be a landslide!

CD is great and McMurtry was amazing in concert. Can not wait for a return trip to the DC area.

Live In Aught Three
Went to see James at Love N War, he and the band had started the set, and I walked aroud expecting to see at least 5 pieces because of the sound I was shocked to see 3 guys on stage, this guy gets more out of one guitar than anyone I have ever seen. This album rocks!!! Butch

Picked the thing up on a whim--because i love live alt-country CDs--the songs rock--turn it up--and become immersed in his raspy voice with a cold beer in your hand--

Saint Mary of the Woods was my first McMurtry album. I like it so I bought the Live in Aught3. Man, this is a fine CD. Rex's Blues and Lights of Cheyenne are great. I still don't know why he felt it necessary to devote a track to slam Bush(actually his mother). That's the only unoriginal part of the CD. Oh well. Buy the CD anyway.
