SUMMARY:James McMurtry with special guest Betty Soo
DESCRIPTION:"THE WANDERING BOY NEVER FLINCHES - James McMurtry’s 11th LP 
 is a solid smorgasbord of aging\, Americana\, and arrested development” 
 "Local critic asks another: 'How’s the McMurtry?' Answer: cut-above song
 s and then the clutch killers.” ...The Austin Chronicle/Raoul Hernandez 
 • October 31st\, 2025 https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/record-revie
 ws/the-wandering-boy-never-flinches/ James McMurtry released The Black D
 og and the Wandering Boy on June 20th via New West Records. The 10-song 
 collection was co-produced by McMurtry & Don Dixon (R.E.M.\, The Smither
 eens) and is his first album in four years. It follows his 2021 acclaime
 d new West debut\, The Horses and the Hounds\, which UnCut Magazine said
  “lifts storytelling-in-song to meticulous new levels" and Pitchfork awa
 rded an 8.0\, saying “James McMurtry stands out even among the Lone Star
  State’s finest songwriters…” The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy featur
 es appearances by Sarah Jarosz\, Charlie Sexton\, Bonnie Whitmore\, Bukk
 a Allen and more\, alongside his trusted backing band\, THE MARTIAL LAW 
 REVIEW\, Tim Holt on guitar and accordion\, Cornbread on bass and Daren 
 Hess on drums. As varied as they are\, McMurtry’s new story-songs find i
 nspiration in scraps from his family’s past: a rough pencil sketch by Ke
 n Kesey that serves as the album cover\, the hallucinations experienced 
 by his father\, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry\, an old poem by a f
 amily friend. A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller\, McMurtr
 y teases vivid worlds out of small details\, setting them to arrangement
 s that have elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a
  general category. Funny and sad often in the same breath\, The Black Do
 g and the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has you
 ng songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formativ
 e influence.\n\nTickets: http://www.prekindle.com/event/65441-james-mcmu
