Larry McMurtry's writing skill with a solid musical background May 29, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is the best of James McMurtry's earlier recordings with Sugar Hill. He's one of the best of the Texas singer-songwriters and the son of author, Larry McMurtry. He's had musical help from such greats as Bruce Hornsby and John Cougar Mellencamp. His lyrics are strong, there are no punches pulled here and a couple of these songs might shock you with their frankness.
This is an excellent intro to McMurtry's work. It includes some greats, including: "60 Acres" a rant about the unfairness of inheritance, "No More Buffalo" about the deterioration of the plains, "Out here in the Middle" about living in the countryside instead.

I can see planets moving in the cosmos when I listen to James McMurtry. This is an album full of great tracks. I've got other recordings of some of them, and I wouldn't prioritize any over others, because James McMurtry is so emotive that ...any particular day, even if you get a different sound, it's a good one. But for a good set of recordings on a single CD you can leave in the player or take on a trip, this is nice. I am enjoying it time and time again, and will most likely listen more to this album than my older ones, unless I'm on a huge James kick, and want to hear more of a range.
