Michael Martin Murphey, “High Stakes”
Label: Murphey Kinship Recordings
Reviewed by: Kim Walter, Nov 2016

This guy is the REAL DEAL – a true cowboy with a 40 year history as a rancher and musician. He is evolved beyond regular cowboy tunes, with a reverential belief in the sanctity of the earth. No Honky tonk here! Favorites: 1, 2, 5. 6, 7

1. med – upbeat
2. slow – Australian Cowboy Song with nice violin/piano
3. med – good song about the American southwest
4. slow – sounds very much like a farewell
5. med – sounds like Irish drinking song -interesting story
6. slow/med – a cowboy’s lament. Sounds Scottish, spiritual vibe
7. med – good story, nice instrumental segment
8. slow/med – like bluegrass ballad
9. med – unexceptional sound
10. slow – song about honor
11. slow/med – good ballad to end album… sounds final
