Old 97’s Gruene Hall Murry Hammond Valentine
MURRY HAMMOND, I Don’t Know Where I’m Going But I’m On My Way (self)
MySpace
Already a key player on one of the best albums of the year (Blame It On Gravity) as the bassist for the Old 97’s, Hammond takes a more spiritual route with his solo release ‘I Don’t Know Where I’m Going But I’m On My Way’. A deep and poignant reflection from a soaring artist in 2008. Respects! File under: Folk / Gospel

Judging from the few songs I’ve heard off of the Murray Hammond, it’s going to be a gem. I can’t resist some good sad old yodeling.
So for the collector – what are the key things you need to know?
would LOVE a free americana disc!
me too – loved his songs on MySpace.
Thanks Twangville, you have restored my faith in music.
I was about to give up on a whole generation after searching the local radio.
Love the Old 97’s, so I’ll have to check it out!
