Twangtacular Ep. 36 - James McMurtry Birthday Party!

From studios in Columbus Ohio U-S-A, it’s TWANGTACULAR, a production of WCRS Community Radio featuring authentic Country, Western, Bluegrass, and Americana music of the past and present. I’m your host Boy Howdy and today I am celebrating the birthday of my all time favorite songwriter in these genres – James McMurtry! I’ll be playing songs from all 10 of his full-length studio albums in the order that they were released! Hopefully those who already dig him will like what I pick, and for those that’ve never heard of him, well, that’s who this show is for! You can see a full track list and listen to this and every episode of Twangtacular on-demand at Mixcloud.com/Twangtacular and at WCRSFM.org. You can also listen on the actual radio in Columbus Ohio on Saturdays at 3pm or Sundays at 4am on 92.7 and 98.3 FM.
