Taking the stage at this one-night-only event, Murphey sang his heart out in a beautiful new song that is part of his new album we’ve all been waiting for.
Presented by Country Road TV, this intimate concert performance was truly a sight to behold and filled up every single seat in this hometown theater.
This legendary hitmaker sang this rendition of Jerry Jeff Walker’s “Little Bird” that tells a story about remembering a young love and the timeless feeling that came with it. Speaking from a point of view as someone who grew older and realizes now the bittersweet truth of life, he looks back after a little bird spurs the memory.
On this day in 1972, Michael Martin Murphey released his debut single, "Geronimo's Cadillac", which was his first Top 40 single. Check out the new version with Steve Earle on Austinology – Alleys Of Austin, set to release OCTOBER 5th! https://t.co/6pY0AfOMgu pic.twitter.com/C7V5O3xKqG
