BIG NEWS: New name: James McMurtry and the martial law review!
​"One of America's greatest living songwriters" - Rolling Stone
"New James McMurtry is absolute [🔥] " - Aaron Lee Tasjan
"James McMurtry returns with masterful storytelling & truth laying on The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy." - Glide Magazine
"...there is so much to digest in the music of James McMurtry and this new album is filled with ample proof of his many gifts and talent." - Lonesome Highway
"...solidifying McMurtry as one of this generation's most unflinchingly potent and powerfully erudite recording artists." - American Songwriter
"This is a career-best collection of dense, fascinating narratives." - Country Universe
" A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details, setting them to arrangements that have the elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category... this is roots rock at its most cathartic." - Americana UK
