Never one of my favorite MMM songs, that was the nicest sounding version I have ever heard. The mix, whether by Murphey's or Letterman's sound engineer was superb.
I've seen him a couple times, in Albuquerque and in Ft Worth at the Bass Theatre, a time notch venue. Just missed a chance to catch him closer to home when he did a Cowboy Christmas show in Grand Junction. I snoozed and losed.
An old favorite of mine, and underappreciated, I think, is "Alleys of Austin," a real pretty tune. TMats
Malcolm, I don't know that album. I searched pretty hard to listen to the two songs, but had very little success. I found a young woman on YouTube who did a nice cover of "Swans Against the Sun" and that encouraged me all the more to try and find the songs on iTunes--no joy. I like MMM's cowboy songs, but it's too bad his earlier stuff is almost completely ignored. TM

My faves from MMM are many, but the ones at the top would be "Wild Swans Against The Sun" and "Renegade"...
