James McMurtry and the band are just wrapping another European adventure and are heading back to the States for more dates this weekend. See jamesmcmurtry.com for the details. And while you're there, check out the hula hooping video. I have joined the "hula hooping to James" movement, and have actually acquired a hula hoop that appeared at one of his shows!
You know, the new album came out this week! In 2009, James McMurtry and his merry band traveled overseas to play their very first European tour in Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, Scotland and Belgium. And Ian McLagan was on board for keyboards on the tour! They have culled through for the best recordings from the Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Geislingen, Germany concerts, which were combined to create Live in Europe. I know it's a hard choice, but you can get it two ways: as a CD with a bonus DVD, or as a deluxe vinyl LP package with a CD and DVD insert. And yes, this song is on it. We filmed this version at Threadgill's in March...You'd a' Thought (Leonard Cohen Must Die).
