James McMurtry is an artist from Texas who grew up in Virginia although he seems Texas through and through. He's the son of Pulitzer-Prize winning author, Larry McMurtry, and it shows in his lyrics.
If you like songs that contain characters and stories, McMurtry is for you. And this album is a great introduction into his work. Songs like "Painting By Numbers", "Terry", "I'm Not From Here", and the title track are great tracks that transcend from a singer-songwriter record to a full blown rock and roll record with the help of a solid band.
