Austin, Texas songwriting legend James McMurty talks about his latest release, a 10-song, Don Dixon produced long player called The Black Dog & The Wandering Boy (in stores June 20, from New West Records). In the course of previewing the album, our conversation touches on names like Dixon, John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Betty Soo, Sarah Jarosz, Ken Kesey, and James' father, the legendary Texas writer, Larry McMurty. James is a man of few words, but none of them are lies.
