SUMMARY:James McMurtry
LOCATION:Nottingham The Old Cold Store
DESCRIPTION:Plus Support from Betty Soo - “James McMurtry may be the tru
 est\, fiercest songwriter of his generation” - Stephen KingJames McMurtr
 y is an American rock / Americana songwriter\, guitarist\, bandleader\, an
 d occasional actor (Daisy Miller\, Lonesome Dove). His father\, novelist L
 arry McMurtry\, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother\, an En
 glish professor\, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three ch
 ords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ea
 r or by watching people."James McMurtry latest release is The Black Dog an
 d the Wandering Boy cords. The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMur
 try & Don Dixon (R.E.M.\, The Smithereens) and is his first album in four 
 years. It follows his 2021 acclaimed New West debut\, The Horses and the H
 ounds\, which Uncut Magazine said “lifts storytelling-in-song to meticul
 ous new levels”As varied as they are\, McMurtry’s new story-songs find
  inspiration in scraps from his family’s past: a rough pencil sketch by 
 Ken Kesey that serves as the album cover\, the hallucinations experienced 
 by his father\, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry\, an old poem by a fam
 ily friend. A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller\, McMurtry te
 ases vivid worlds out of small details\, setting them to arrangements that
  have the elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a gen
 eral category. Funny and sad often in the same breath\, The Black Dog and 
 the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has enjoyed a r
 esurgence as young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell (who is 
 namechecked on the new album) cite him as a formative influence. Known for
  his powerhouse performances\, McMurtry tours year-round. “You follow th
 e words where they lead. If you can get a character\, maybe you can get a 
 story. If you can set it to a verse-chorus structure\, maybe you can get a
  song. A song can come from anywhere\, but the main inspiration is fear. S
 pecifically fear of irrelevance. If you don’t have songs\, you don’t h
 ave a record. If you don’t have a record\, you don’t have a tour. You 
 gotta keep putting out work.”\n\nBoletos: https://wegottickets.com/event
