notes
A modern-day beatnik, a vaudeville barker, a film noir rocker, a blues growler, a barroom balladeer, a saloon philosopher, a subway cabaret monster, and an untraditional traditionalist? Singer-songwriter L J Murphy has been described as all of these.
He's also been described as one of the most unique and poetic songwriters to come out of New York City in a very long time.

Great songs from the dark streets.
author: WolfgangGreat songs, that swing and rock - and an interesting voice.
Underbelly of America Exposed with Rhythm and Soul
author: Dianne NolaL J Murphy's rhythmic swagger transports the listener down an alley and into a dark bar room. Exposing the underbelly of Americana with a bitter growl, yet tempered by his smooth baritone when the band lays low. Reminiscent of a latter, but more soulful, Leonard Cohen and an early, but more digestible, Tom Waits.
Van Morrison meets Freedy Johnston
author: LiaLJ has the rough, sexy baritone of a young Van Morrison, and the elegant lyrics of a Freedy Johnston. These songs deserve to be listened to again and again -- something different will strike you every time. Barroom blues and balladry at their peak.
