Thursday Night Songwriter Showcase: James McMurtry at Paste Studio NYC Live
Watching this live performance by James McMurtry for Paste Magazine, I was struck by how under-rated he is as a guitarist, because it’s no small feat to sing with this much passion and keep that 12-string guitar engine going like he does. Playing 12-string guitar all by itself can be exhausting (I speak from experience).
And the lyrics, man, the lyrics.
