JAMES McMURTRY


RICK SHEA

----------- Although James McMurtry has been around for a number of years, I don't really know his music. So rather than write an ignorant review, I'm posting a bunch of photos instead. I "improved" a few of them with digital techniques. -----------------

The trio functioned as a unit rather than star + backup. Bassman Ronnie Johnson also contributed vocal
harmonies. The drummer was Brian Sebastion.

McMurtry played more lead guitar than most singer-songwriter types.

A reworked version of this photo of Ronnie Mack
introducing James McMurtry is now the header
image on the main Barn Dance page.
