Michael grew up in Dallas, Texas, spent a great deal of time in on his grandfather’s ranch, and is still involved in ranching in Colorado. In 1990, he released the album Cowboy Songs, featuring new versions of cowboy classics like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” “The Old Chisholm Trail,” July 9th marked the release of "Red River Drifter" Michael Martin Murphy's latest CD. "Red River Drifter" is a departure from his previous albums which addressed cowboy themes and were bluegrass tinged. In his newest CD the themes of love are explored, encompassing the vagaries of romantic love, love between friends and family and the love of God's green earth. The song-craft on these tracks is complex, multi-layered and demonstrates some of the most beautiful melodies Michael Martin Murphy has ever written. His beautiful tenor voice has become more husky and appealing with age that speaks of a lifetime of experience. Michael will incorporate these new songs into his “Lone Cowboy Show” performance at the Freight.
