If you're looking for reasons to be cheerful, don't go see James McMurtry. Not many do crusty and cranky better than the Texas songwriter, a sharp eyed observer with an aversion to sentimentality. The son of novelist Larry McMurtry whose son Curtis is also a tunesmith has been at it since 1989's exemplary Too Long In The Wasteland, and "We Can't Make It Here," his embittered 2005 salvo on the diminishment of American hopes and dreams is a modern classic.
McMurtry will release his first album in six years, Complicated Game, in February. "How'm I Gonna Find You Now," is the fast talking banjo-flecked first cut from the album which finds its narrator barreling down the road "washing my blood pressure pill down with a Red Bull." McMurtry plays the Sellersvile Theater in Bucks County tonight. Tickets are here.
