Good choice.

From his newer album, The Rose Hotel .. I'm going with Throwin Rocks.

Something that I Do and Wireless in Heaven are both fun, although not classics.

I love McMurtry but REK's version of Out Here in the Middle is infinitely better.

Listening to "No More Buffalo" at the moment, FWIW.

I so disagree. By the time talk got around to doing McMurtry covers, he was done.

I do like the REK versions better, but part of it is probably that REK isn't quite the socialist that McMurtry is, so I can handle the barbs coming from REK a little more favorably...

But I still like McMurtry.

That's his cash cow dude. Why would he ever stop playing it? Because you don't like it?

I love all of them, but really liked this one off the last album!
The Man Behind the Drums

I do plan to have this on my tombstone when the time comes "The Road goes on Forever and the Party never ends"
