Comments for McMurtry, James, It Had To Happen

Recorded in Austin TX; produced by Lloyd Maines. I`m gonna have to dig out his 3 previous albums (Too Long In The Wasteland (1989,Columbia CK 45229), Candyland (1992, Columbia CK 46911) and Where`dYou Hide The Body (1995, Columbia CK 66188)); I don`t rememberhim sounding so much like Lou Reed before. Another nice collection of heartland storysongs, kind of what you`d expect from Larry`sson. Charlie Sexton plays on 6 & 7, sings bkgrnd on 4 & 10.(09/19/97)
