I’ll also recommend the work of his son, James McMurtry. He’s an outstanding songwriter.

See for example:

Best of his generation, in my opinion. Ruby and Carlos should be at the top of your list, but there are so many to choose from.

Have you watched his recent work? Post-pandemic? He was always acerbic but now he spits out every syllable like he has a personal grudge against it. It's getting to the point where I'm actually worried about him.

Wow, I feel dense. I didn't know James McMurtry was related to Larry McMurtry. Ruby and Carlos rules. For some odd reason I woke up with it stuck in my head a couple weeks ago, and it stayed stuck for a few days. Hey, there it is again!

Agreed, I’ve seen James live a few times and he is a great songwriter.
