About Michael Martin Murphey

Michael Martin Murphey developed through the Texas folk scene and later recording work in Los Angeles, Colorado and Nashville. His catalog ranges across country, pop, bluegrass and the music of the American West.

Cowboy Songs and the later Buckaroo Blue Grass projects expanded those interests, while other performers recorded his songwriting.
