Album Review
The 12 songs that make up Capitol's The Best of Michael Martin Murphey compilation are a perfect initiation for those who want a taste of Murphey's biggest hits on both sides of the charts. The tracks are divvied up appropriately, with his earlier "cosmic cowboy" era represented by hits like "Carolina in the Pines," "Geronimo's Cadillac," "Cherokee Fiddle" (from Urban Cowboy), and "Wildfire," his most renowned single. Five other tracks make up some of Murphey's biggest country singles of the early '80s, with "Don't Count the Rainy Days," "What She Wants," and "Still Taking Chances" all making the Top Ten on the country charts. "What's Forever For" gave Murphey his first number one single on the country side, while it went all the way to number 19 on the pop charts at the same time. Both "Disenchanted" and "Radio Land" could have been replaced with more familiar singles, but even so, this set is an inexpensive and satisfying route for exploring both sides of Michael Martin Murphey's material.

Geronimo's Cadillac
by LauronikaGeronimo's Cadillac is a classic song from the early '70s. Michael Murphey's lyrics, based on a true event, reflect on the surreal image of one of the fiercest Indian fighters in the late 1800s sitting in a 1905 "locomobile" (as this model was called). A symbol of the old West conquered. Murphey's raw voice is perfect for such a song - a refreshing change from his other, more pop-oriented songs.
