I Migrations Jimmy talks about "Yeah, list'nin to Murphy, Walker and Willie Sing me their Texas rhymes. Does anybody know who Murphy is?

Michael Murphy me thinks. A C&W/folksinger of much repute.

ISNT HE THE GUY THAT MADE THE LAW?THE ONE THAT SAYS ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG WILL?

If you read Pirate Looks at 50 there is a chapter that tells about Jimmy's trip to KW with Jerry Jeff "Walker" and his girlfriend "Murphy" and I'd say the Willis in Migration is Willis Allen Ramsey, a Texas troubador.

Wasn't there a Murphy in the Blues Brothers?

MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY

here is another one:

In Prince of Tides Jimmy sings "With Goodman, Giovinno, and John Mac D/They were such good friends to me." Well we all know who Goodman and John Mac D are but who is Giovinno???


I know the answer....

Goodman
I have found me a home

Goodman after looking at the home page of Michael Martin Murphy I see you are correct. Thanks

My pleasure but I think it's spelled Murphey. I think he had a big AM hit in the 70's called "Wildfire" or somesuch.

Giovonio, I.m guessin here, is better known as "Don".

i don't think it is Don ...Giovonio

Michael Martin Murphy I love that guy some great songs:
cowboy logic
Wildfire
Still taking chances
Carolina in my mind
long line of love
Cowboy Christmas Ball

Some more great
but one I can see bubba doing
"Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers."
sound like anyone you know??

I'm a fan and remember when he just went by "Michael Murphy" until some suits urged him to add "Martin" for legal reasons because there was an actor during that same time period who had the same name.

I was never a huge fan of "Wildfire" though it was inescapable the year it came out. I'm not as familar with his newer cowboy oriented stuff but what I've heard, I've liked. For his early work I recommend both the Geronimo's Cadillac and Cosmic Cowboy albums but l'm sure there's more great stuff where that came from.

By the way, Michael's song was actually "Carolina in the Pines" but I see where they could be so easily confused as I've done it a time or ten thousand my own self.
