I dont see this guy as being Anti American. I aint even an American but I think a lot of his songs will translate globally to any working class person. I think he is just for the workers wherever you come from. Hell man, I am from a coal mining industry that was murdered by an evil UK government in the mid 1980s and I can totally relate to a lot of stuff this guy sings even if I am 3000 miles away!
James Mc Murty is the voice of the working poor. I love his music and agree with every word he says in "we can't make it here anymore",if you don't step off the bus in Detroit,or go to a town thats been left for dead by the textile industries. I don't think he is anti-american, I think he is fed up with the bullshit our government and corporate America are handing us.

He's just way out there in left-field dude ,listen to (we cant make it here anymore) Its pretty damn un-american sounding to me. Screw it.....most all of my favorite musicians are dead or dumb-ass liberals.
so he never said word one about obama? that's what i thought, thanks for clearing it up. we can't make it here was made in 05 and was an excellent song. being anti government and anti american are two completely different things. how in the hell was it unamerican?
@JIM112271 Ahh Jim, you couldn't be more wrong! I'm not saying you are at fault, our population is very heavily propagandized now, courtesy of Rush and Glenn and sean and Fox and many many more, so you ain't alone. I heard "We Can't Make It Here" and it gave me hope, good ole middle class American HOPE. It showed me that there are other people who are able to see thru the illusory propaganda, who aren't afraid to take an honest, unflinching look at where we are, and are going.
@JIM112271 you are the kinda person that would bitch if you were hung with a new rope. JM is a true but rare patriot. Protesting the "kings" oppression of the subjevts. exacly what rock has always been a voice of resistance to the established status quo. Grow a pair
@JIM112271 Liberal and conservative are both imaginary constructs. If you buy into either your just not very smart, or more likely haven't thought it all the way through.
He is the real deal. Saw him, Heard him, Met him. Took him for a horseback ride. It was bitchen to say the least.
