    McMurtry is my musical hero. He's been doing this for decades: masterful, insightful lyrics combined with excellent musicianship. I have so many songs to recommend to you. I'll start you with Down Across the Delaware and What's the Matter (unreleased on an album but many unofficial non-acoustic live versions on UA-cam). Subscribing now. McMurtry is WAY underrated relative to his talent and body of work,

    This may be the most underrated American song of the 21st century.

    I'm a long haul truck driver and when I'm on the road all over the U.S this song runs thru my head almost constantly.

      It's a great song. Choctaw Bingo and Levelland is even better.

    Great song, by a great songwriter. His father is Larry McMurtry, is a great novelist, so I guess he gets his great lyrics honestly.

    His Choctaw BINGO - 1st time I heard this was a Saturday morning Blues program. Got me cranking down the Interstate. Later his concert, was our 1st date, with my girlfriend, who is more insane, than this song. Next time we saw him, she made sure, she wore her Red Dress. (His “Where Did You Get that Red Dress?”) The one so tight, my GF couldn’t wear underwear. All his songs are great. His best version of this song. On UA-cam look for the video with the smoke shop image.
    Actually, my GF’s whole family sounds like his relatives. GF, used to ride in the car, on the Interstate topless, until, some trucker chased us down I-35 at 90. His latest video is "How am I Gonna Find You Now"

    Thanks for playing my favorite singer\songwriter! He takes no prisoners and I love him for it! Been a fan for many many years. We in Texas have little to celebrate lately but a few of us liberals hold tight. Getting rid of the gop is our ultimate victory!!! Help us!!! James is one thing in Texas we are proud of!!
