James McMurtry is Pissed


And that's a damn good thing. I'll refrain from political diatribe here, and let the man and his music do it instead.

here's the mp3 of "God Bless America", a reprise of sorts to "We Can't Make It Here" which is IMHO the song of the decade. (Youtube video of an acoustic KFOG performance is here.

Three Chords and the Truth, indeed.

James isn't exactly the most extroverted live artist, but has a west-Texas dry sense of humor that can make his shows very entertaining. And he writes great stuff. He's playing at the very bohemian-cool Mexicali Blues in Teaneck NJ, this coming Thursday night.
