Discovered this fantastic musician 6 months ago thanks to some random twist of fate from Spotify. Cannot stop listening to him… amazing.. all the best from Bonnie Scotland 🤛🏻
this guy is one of the greatest living songwriters, he deserves much more respect than he gets!
So freaking true!
An absolute master and American treasure.
James is certainly a Musician`s Musician! Hope it never gets mainstream!
Poet and player!
fantastic...love john mcmurtry
James. Just saying.
I saw James last night in Houston TX
What a great show! He's a amazing song writer.
Keep on rockin James!!
Great concert James tells it like it is..
God bless him!
Love youlove you love you lovelove you. ---from Wisconsin and Austin.. Words--- all better than good.
Lights of Cheyenne is a MUST listen!! Great show!
His guitar always has THE best sound to it. Killer setup.
Paul Reed Smith and Fender guitars ... great start to a good sound
Cool, JMc playing a prs!
You know how it is. When someone dies, they become famous. But, i pass it on. I love his honesty. Saw him, talked to him, fucking great guy. Great talent. He nneeds marketed.
2020......still a huge fan
Dang them folks got themselves a dollop of awesomeness
I heard him for the first time on Outlaw county radio during that god awful recession. " Can't make it here anymore " rang true for me for sure. Love his music, so true to the times, and real people music. He's on my bucket list for sure.
.
Donna Scheunemann he should be, he is finer than fine, plus now a new fine music
#MeToo
😎
Wow, nice. Just good music indeed.
Just seen him at the 20th Century in Cincinnati. It was a great show! He is way under rated as a songwriter. Definitely, an American bad ass treasure.
He's absolutely fantastic!!! I like him as much as Bob Dylan, Lou Reed or Neil Young. Same Level! Greetings from Germany.
I have that shirt. Now, if only I had that talent.
It was a beautiful day. With a great soundtrack. Come again James. They played on a back porch!
James McMurtry is a musical genius.
Comes from decent stock.
Had to investigate whether this dude was even real nor not after him being referred to in some detective paperback I read in jail last summer. Turned out he us. Little late to the game but mcmurtry has made my life better
I don’t know of ANYONE who writes lyrics with such power. “Yes I’m drunk, but damn you’re ugly!’ Red Dress.
one of the best by one of the best
Texas boy. If you ever see his name on a play bill, go see him. Best artist of my time. Stevie Ray Vaughan would be proud of him.
One of the best wordsmiths and musical story tellers around. What a road dog.
James, love the fact that you'll play for a small crowd. Come on down to the Low Country....Folly Beach, S.C. , the whole damn Island will show up!!!!
I was listenin to OUTLAW channel oneday and heard "We Cant Make It Here Anymore. Been a fan ever since.
Certified Bad Ass.
The issue with this Great Concert is it isn`t LOUD ENOUGH !!!!
ditto for Ocracoke Island, NC - the entire island will show.
I love Ocracoke Island! Honeymooned there, camping just off the beach in '85. It was a dream!!! To see this guy, there?! Yummy!
Thanks Bill Shapiro for makin' me a McMurtry fan
The Dream Team. Miss Ronnie
I should have posted “ I miss Ronnie”. Sorry for the typo
Thanks for posting this. James Mcmurtry is awesome live! Listening to this got me through the last part of the day.... How cool.
What a great story teller for America.
If you’re ever in Austin on a Tuesday night, check out his acoustic show at the gallery continental club. It’s incredible. It’s just him, his songs and an acoustic guitar!
Is this still happening?

Great Show, should've been packed...
I picked up on this dude courtesy of a Stephen King novel (the dome). That was back in the day as James was not released in Australia and I had to get an import CD. I turned all my friends on to his stuff,and we now have a bit of a fan club in Margaret River Western Australia. We love you James! It might be a small town, but if you turn up, there is no way we are rolling up the sidewalk till you leave! 🙏👍

He is playing today in Houston, two shows. Cactus Music, free at 3 pm and at Continental Club at 9 pm.
Got lucky, Saw James and Band at Cactus Music in Houston Tx. Awhile back...
James McMurtry is one of the very best singer songwriters working today. I live in OKC & if he's playing anywhere between Tulsa & Dallas we're there. He never disappoints in concert. He rolls into these looooong electric grooves that just leave you absolutely mesmerized. You just get a taste of it here but when you're in a room with him & his band for a couple of hours & those searing riffs from that butterscoth Fender Telecaster are washing over you, you'll know what I mean. He's really become a helluva guitarist in the 10 years or so I've been listening. The 1st thing I heard was an album called "Live in Aught-Three". It was a collection of some of his best stuff released up until that time. I'd suggest any newbies start with that. It's fantastic. "Childish Things" & "Just Us Kids" followed. Both are great. He just released another album you can buy off his site. Support this guy, he deserves it!!!
Don't believe thats a strat. Looks more like a PSR. Bill Martin from Good Charlotte plays one
Russell Wakefield Ahh . Theres the strat
Truer words were never spoken. James is one of the best!
He is playing today in Houston, two shows. Cactus Music, free at 3 pm and at Continental Club at 9 pm.
rick pauley He's alright.
Helluva concert.
Just saw James at Bristol rhythm & roots. Really rocked the place.
Love the writing and the music, come back to San Luis Obispo CA soon! great show last time.
great new songs but I love choctaw Bingo, red dress and level land
I love your music even tho I hate hunting
Really happy to find this. I heard him play the new song at around 00:59:00 in Milwaukee in 2012, shortly after he wrote it. It really stuck with me then, and I'm glad to finally find a recording! (James, I hope this is going on the new record!)
Little known but largely LOVED
Had no idea this was here. Thank you for posting! I've been a fan for over 30 years? I don't remember really but it's been a long time. This is the best live recording of "The Lights Of Cheyenne" that I've ever seen. He's a living legend here in Texas. A poet in the same class as Guy Clark.
Brilliant post...He's in Belfast in Jan..Tickets bought..
Come to Portland OR!!!!!
Amazing post thanks for sharing
Brilliant performance
Thank you for posting this! Excellent quality! Best quality of How am I gonna find you now on youtube!
I sooo miss his live shows! His bi-weekly youtube/fb gives me a fix, but he is so much more animated with a live audience! Thanks for posting!
just good music
uh... f yeah
come to west tennessee...we would love to hear ya fella.
Righteous
Thx for posting! I've seen James many, many times. The song at 11:10 is from his upcoming fall 2014 album "complicated GAME," with C.C. Adcock producing.
By the way "Cornbread" is Michael Traylor. Ronnie was his prior bass player.
What happened to Ronnie? He was a great backup singer.
yea
James is great to see in concert..... I saw him last November and will go again when he gets within driving distance! His CD's are great to buy folks too! (Not a relative but just a big fan! ) :-) He rocks the house and his songs shares my views and philosophy of politics.
Fantastic!
This is fantastic! Thanks for the upload!
Thanks for posting. Great band:)
You have to come to the UK.....
Discovered this cat several years back. Through a great song called, Out Here in thee Middle. Found out he’d been making great music for a while. He may have come up around Louisville just once that I know of. Over the years that I’m aware of. And, it was a smaller venue. Then I would like to see him in. I’m outside Louisville, so maybe I missed him. I haven’t listen to local radio in quite some time either. My favorite song by McMurtry could probably be just about anything from the Childish Things album. Charlemagne’s Hometown maybe? Or, l from another album, Airline Agent. He one great Texan songwriter.
James Mcmurtry leelanau Mi July 2013
Awesome thanks for posting!
I legit thought I was listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard this whole time. Great toons man
See Him at The IronWood In Calgary Next week.
Didn't especially really love these versions that I'm responding to. as he's just Jamming.
Absolutely Love this Musician.
As good as Dylan all over and better for me.
hey, come up to essex, ontario please
The Bob Dylan of the 21st century
Wow this must have been a great show for the 13 people that showed up.
Uh oh- you know you’re gettin’ lots of negative feedback on this tune. I LOVE IT
damn that James
he's still pretty spry
kicks some but!
interesting to see that he already played "How'm I gonna find you now" back in 2013, even though he just released the song this year on the "Complicated Game" album
+David Senoner a few of the song's in this performance are from the Complicated Game album.....still gotta love it!!
Honey, don’t yell at me when I cleaning my gun...
Just Us Kids 😁😁😁
😎
Initially it starts feeling kind of repetitive... and then as it proceeds you can't stop listening...
Definitely grows on ya!!!!!
He made a deal at a crossroads. It's all in the hair and the goatee. And the hat. Without those this would all sound like Barry Manilow.
Maybe check your hearing
first thought: Ray Wylie Hubbard. I like.
OMG why is nobody THERE???
Nice shirt (Cuban Guyabera)!
Wow! Is Portland Oregon on your schedule?????
Hippies rock but my Husky rules!
Eighteen people must have got stuck on the back porch.
what is this some kind of "EUTOPIA?" hehehe his bassist isn't looking to healthy by the end of this show...lol love James Mcmurtry absolutely real life music!!!
Does anyone know who the lead player is? That guy is sick! Perfect for James!!
Lead Guitarist & Squeezebox player is Tim Holt, Bass Player is Mike 'Cornbread' Taylor. Not Ronnie Johnson who left the band in 2011
The man of a thousand faces... every one the same.
Just so you all know, Cornbread and Ronnie Johnson are not the same person. Ronnie Johnson left the band back in 2011.
Thank You. I was wondering about that.
😊👍🚬
pals. cornbread, crawfish, bison n bannock
Are those songs real or did you make them up?
Viet Nam vet at the side of the road...
Tom Petty should OPEN for this guy.
James McMurtry is great, but let’s not be fucking stupid. Tom Petty doesn’t;t open for anyone. Except maybe bob Dylan
You thought that we knew better by now. Guess not
Ah summer, i live in the cold north western minnesota climate, Shure could love me some warm climate change about now 30 sum below burrr
tomorrow morning I'll be sober......:)
I see you got a Martin 12 string is that Kathleen’s old one?
