He’s a great artist and songwriter and even better performer. Played for 2 1/2 hours! I thought of Springsteen! He did one song with no amplification - just him and his voice and it was a cool move, in the end. At first it seemed like a mistake… Then everybody stopped even a whisper - the place quieted down to making no noise at all, and all we could hear was the rain, his voice and the guitar. A very risky move that turned out really well.

What a fantastic show. Great band. Great songs. So impressed by just how tight the band was. The McMurtry songbook is second to none. Great venue. Excellent sound system. Probably the best show I've seen in five years. And Mr. McMurtry noted that the band was not yet sold out for their Toronto Horseshoe Tavern show sheduled for the next day...when the Rainbow Bistro had been sold out for weeks? Phenomenal show. Hope Mr. McMurtry returns to Ottawa Bluesfest or City Folk ...he would fit nicely into either. Or just return to the Rainbow. Perfect.

Excellent concert. Betty Soo, the opening performer, was delightful. She's a real talent. Mr. McMurtry was in stellar form. Great singing and playing (he is an amazing guitarist). As a writer, Mr. McMurtry ranks among the best, and should be selling out much larger venues than the Richmond Music Hall. My only suggestion is for Mr. McMurtry to smile every now and then, he seems like a very serious guy. Highly recommended!

About James McMurtry
James L. McMurtry, along with his Austin-based band, James McMurtry & The Heartless Bastards, is a self-described "rock & roots" guitarist and singer-songwriter, drawing on elements of alt-country, folk and old-fashioned texas rock.
The son of novelist Larry McMurtry, James was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1962, and grew up in Virginia. James McMurtry's seventh studio album, Childish Things, was released on Compadre Records in the fall of 2005. As writer L.E.Brady notes, "The album includes McMurtry's statement on American decline - We Can't Make It Here - his most unabashedly political number yet."
