New James McMurtry album

released today. Go get it.
quote:
James McMurtry spins stories with a poet's pen ('Long Island Shores') and a painter's precision ('She Loves Me'). Proof: The acclaimed songwriter's new 'Complicated Game'. McMurtry's first collection in six years spotlights a craftsman in absolutely peak form as he turns from political toward personal ('These Things I've Come to Know, You Got to Me'). 'The lyrical theme is mostly about relationships', McMurtry says. 'It's also a little about the big old world verses the poor little farmer or fisherman. I never make a conscious decision about what to write about.'
'Complicated Game', set for February 24, 2015 release on Complicated Game Records (yes, it's complicated) and produced by CC Adcock and Mike Napolitano, delivers McMurtry's trademark story songs time and again ('Copper Canteen', 'Deaver's Crossing' ). However, the record brings a new (and certainly no less energetic) sonic approach. First, recall blistering beats and gnashing guitars from his magnum opus Just Us Kids (2008). Now, unplug. 'The label head wanted more acoustic,' McMurtry explains. 'We built everything as we went so we ended up with more acoustic guitar as we went. We just played whatever sounded right for a given song, but we weren't necessarily saying this is an acoustic record.'

After first listen, this may be my favorite of his albums yet
If you like songs like Ruby and Carlos, you'll love this album

I like it, perhaps more than the recent REK and Bingham releases.

My favorite is album of his is probably "where'd you hide the body". Love Levelland, Ionlanthe, and Down across the Deleware. Other favorites are Hurricane Party and Ruby and Carlos. Will have to give this one a listen. I also like Choctaw Bingo, but prefer Ray Wylie Hubbards cover over the original.
