THE BLACK DOG AND THE WANDERING BOY (2025)

Album Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"One of America's greatest living songwriters" - Rolling Stone 

"Masterful set from the distinguished folk-blues Texan" 9/10 - Uncut Magazine. 

"McMurtry continues to prove that few songwriters—inside or outside Americana—can match his lyrical precision. Like John Prine at his sharpest or Guy Clark at his most plainspoken, McMurtry writes with clarity, compassion, and a healthy dose of bite. The Black Dog finds him at the peak of his powers—wiser, wearier, and unflinchingly honest." - Americana Highways
