James McMurtry, born in Fort Worth, Texas, is known for his masterful storytelling in music. Son of novelist Larry McMurtry, James's plainspoken vocals and unadorned lyrics capture the struggles of everyday life. His Texas roots and collaborations with artists like John Mellencamp and Dwight Yoakam shine through in hits like "Choctaw Bingo." His debut album, 1989's *Too Long in the Wasteland,* and critically acclaimed works like *Childish Things* reflect his powerful political commentary. Notable awards include high praise from Village Voice, and he regularly performs in Austin, Texas.
