I wish I could remember who told me about this one. I'd never heard
of Murphy, so I can only assume that some kind soul passed him along.
Apparently he recorded five albums for Beggars Banquet,
which I assumed was a band but turns out to be a record label. And
not a grammatical one either; their name just cries out for an
apostrophe. Maybe more than one. Which is irrelevant, I know, and
hardly for the first time.
The review on the iTMS describes Wild Birds as being full of
Mr. Murphy's hits. That makes me feel even more out of it than usual,
since they are as new to me as Mr. Murphy. And that's a shame; I
would have enjoyed them when they were hits. I certainly enjoy them
now. But I have to ask: does anybody else hear a little bit of David
Bowie in his vocals?
