Jimbo- How much money will you inherit from your father? You know, the one with the talent.

[jmoney507]

@DavidBolg Obviously unappreciative of the song lyrics. But hey, we all have our own opinions.

one of the great rockers .sawhim must be 154 years ago on autin city limits after the 1st time garth brooks was on . taped it awesome

[yippierb]

What a badass rockin song. Taos mesa memories.

[madcapox]

The best of the best. His music embodies the emotions behind each song he performs and his voice captures the characters to a tee.

By far my favorite musician.

[sslank]

I've just been introduced to this guy and I say 10 thumbs up!

[keymankeys1960]

I just heard his music for the first time last night on the pc.I found it f'in great! The lyric style remind me of a Neil Young or Dylan,its like here it is in your face,think for a change!!Great stuff.

[SirWinstonChurchill]

It is more like ZZ Top to me... bein' from Texas and all, ya know...

[page141]

his dad is the novelelist larry mcmurtry of, "lonesome dove", "terms of endearment", "horseman pass me by" (made into the movie "hud") fame. young james here actually had a cameo in tom wolfe's "electric koolaid acid test" (as a baby kissed by neil cassidy"s girlfriend when the magic bus stops by .)

[tottatiago69]

rika merda

[garzaeduardo]

funny,he looks like wierd al w/o a beard and cheech marin w/it. same song second verse,like john melloncamp.

[classicrocker1234567]

just no plzin sum peeps is there, lol jk

[page141]

actually, john mellencamp produced his first album. he contacted father larry because of hud, when he (mr mellencamp) was working up "falling from grace". complex and fascinating dude, this young james is.

[rickardfive]

I guess I take it for granted I live in Texas and have seen him a ton of times. I got to see him years ago in Austin with Towns, One of the BEST shows ever !!!!!!!save your money and come to see him

[Fiddleysteve]

I love the albums too, but would love to check out a live show. No sign of any in Europe... Nice to see live performance here.

[Verified1]

Fiddleysteve - save your pennies and come on over. This band's live shows are amazing. And they still play clubs so it's always intimate and everyone is dancing.

[travelindicator]

America in a strocaster

[wewillwinit6times]

Picked up a CD of his the other day, the suger hill sessions, it's the first I've heard of him and living in England these singers and or bands are difficult to get hold of and I have to say he is one of the best musicians I have ever heard and some great lyrics he writes as well.

Just a shame people like him don't get notice yet rubbish pop groups are clogging up our airwaves and our charts.

[birdiejoehoaks]

I totally agree.

people dont want to here music, they want to hear overproduced pop bullshit.

[Verified1]

Save your pennies, come on over and catch their show - they tour a lot. It'll be worth every cent and you'll see and hear the best of U.S. music. His shows are dancin' crazy.

[downhill240]

I caught James on Austin City Limits last night. First time for me. He and his band are going places!

[TillyUTK]

You would think James would be well known. He has been doing this for a long time. There is no one better. Yet who gets noticed? The world is crazy, but as long as McMurtry keeps working...I'm happy.

[kuchek]

I saw McMurty at the Continental where this was shot in Sept. Him and John Dee Graham. The show was amazing and mesmerizing. Keep it up you guys.

[bluesattorney]

Amazing talent!

[Ranlio]

It is less than six months since I first heard James on MVY Broadband Radio and it was only than I discovered what I was missing. Brilliant music! Brilliant story telling in his songs. 60 acres Brilliant song one of my favourites. I am in Ireland and I have no idea how well known he is here. James I have all your albums and cannot wait for your new one. Thanks for the enjoyment!

[hraffelt]

Most excellent. Where can I purchase a CD?

[sushimeister12345]

i'm from germany and nobody knows him here. no, thats not true. i do. and i like him.

[sweetlinda676]

Love this song James. 6 stars Would like to have a chat =) A+ music

[sweetlinda676]

Always everything he sings is 6 stars.

PERFECT!!! Linda

[whitewraithe]

I just heard of James Mcmurtry today and was blown away by "We Can't Make It Here". Not the greatest singer but his voice resonates with truth and honesty and I like his country-bluesy guitar licks. I'll keep watching for more from this guy.

[arkgunslinger]

Damn Straight!

[RKG123]

I'm a hopeless James McMurtry junkie. Man, quick as lightning he can cut straight to the heart of real situations that nobody else I know of seems to ever think about writing about.
